Greetings!
9 years ago this week I surfed a wave with a dolphin, a truly remarkable experience and what does dolphin teach us amongst other things, to 'Go With The Flow!'
Does your life feel as if you are pushing water uphill? Where despite your best efforts things don't quite work out, where you seem to constantly come up against delays, frustrations and disappointments (blocks) to your progress. It certainly has done for me for some while now, arguably since I returned from Greece well over 18 months ago. Trying to sell my coaching services to individuals and into businesses has been by no means easy. Frustrations too have existed in other parts of my life also.
During that journey many a spiritual guide has been urging me directly or indirectly to just let go, surrender and release, to coin a phrase 'F**k It' and go with the flow. Excuse my french but it does coincide with the title of a book I have just recently read called 'F**k It' - The Ultimate Spiritual Way. For an alternative, more western view of spirituality I heartedly recommend it.
Todays video is all about the sensation we get when we just let go and re-enter the flow of life, the article below hopes to illustrate this further along with the 5 steps we all need to take to truly let go.
Have a great weekend.
Kind regards

Going With The Flow
If you feel as if you are pushing water uphill, then just let go!
For a while now many a spiritual guru has been urging me to just let go and go with the flow. I on the other hand have stubbornly resisted, believing in order to cut a new path it is going to be somewhat difficult and you have to tough it out, stand square to the mainstream or even go against the tide in order to be successful, this however can prove exhausting if you aren't getting the responses you desire.
Ask any successful athlete or businessman of how they eventually found success after initially experiencing blocks to their progress and they will say that they had to approach things in a slightly different way if not change altogether, altering their training regime or the way they were doing things accordingly. Sometimes divine intervention has to occur where the universe deliberately makes it difficult for us so we can find an easier way of doing things, to think that little bit differently.
For an athlete sometimes it takes an injury to be incurred for the necessary change to take place, for a business it could be an adverse economic climate, for a person burnout or breakdown. Whatever something generally happens to make you stop what you have been doing and stand or sit still, you have no choice, it is an extreme effort to go in any direction other than where your energy wants to flow.
And that is what we have to do in life sometimes, just stop and breathe and trust the answers will come. What dolphin also teaches us apart from how to go with the flow is how to breathe deeply. In the book I mentioned earlier written by John Parkin he advises us in order to truly go with the flow we have to say 'F**k It' to whatever is bringing us stress or tension in our life. According to him success comes when we finally relax, let go, accept, watch impartially and then consciously breathe.
Relaxing, because we don't truly know how tense we are and the tension we carry everyday. Letting go of the things that we desperately cling to that only bring us frustration and upset. Accepting things just the way they are. Watching or bringing awareness to our thoughts, not being owned by them just letting them float in and out of our minds. Consciously breathing, breathing from the belly, deep breathing, rather than from the chest, which equates to shallow breathing. Just try three deep breaths now like dolphin, making that dolphin noise blowing out through its blow hole as you exhale and see how much better you start to feel.
Connecting with our breath takes us right back to the very essentials of life and helps us tune in to our true essence, the more we meditate on this the more the white noise in our life starts to dissipate and the more our innate thoughts start to come through, telling us how much easier our life can be if we only did X or Y. To communicate or act slightly differently, to follow that opportunity now presenting itself, the one we couldn't see, when we were too closed off before.
That is what I'm doing this week, breathing, meditating, allowing thoughts to come, creating the right relationship with myself, others and the planet, connecting with source to continue my rightful journey, I suggest you do too.
