Are You Going with the Flow?
Posted by Antonia at 11:49 am in Daily Practices

It was a Gloriously Beautiful day in Los Angeles yesterday, and I was going almost nowhere in the bumper-to-bumper afternoon traffic when a thought occurred to me: life is rather like traffic, in that one must go with the flow, yet be prepared for those little windows of opportunity when they present themselves. Let’s face it, we’re not all going at the same speed, as we each have our own obstacles and blocks to get through. We’re going through Beautiful, albeit challenging, changes. Not the ‘change is the only constant’ kind of changes, but Deep, expansive changes, stemming from a desire to follow that which has heart and meaning, staying in our own truth, and also an unwillingness to accept untruths, what no longer works for us and is out of balance. How wonderful is that? ;-)

The unexamined life is not worth living.

~Socrates~

There is another analogy that I have been using to explain this process of change. When I clean my closet, I take everything out for reassessment. While having my stuff all over the room may *look* really messy, it *is*, in fact, in a positive process of change. It’s moving in a positive, forwardly direction, despite outward appearances. It is through reassessing my ’stuff’ that I find a new awareness, and in releasing that which no longer has meaning that a vacuous space is created for that which I *do* want in my life. I believe that this is happening not just in my life, and of those I know and Love, but is actually happening on a global scale. YAY! This is a Wonderful, much-needed process, for which we should be giving thanks, as it’s going to move things into better directions and restore balance! :-)

I can tell you this, and I have it on good authority! ;-) Everything works out! We’ve been doing such great inner work, we can Trust that we will be carried through these challenging times. I know it’s a balancing act to both be letting go of the past and moving into the unknown future simultaneously. But we are ready! Just remember to stay grounded and positive with that which is swirling around you, while preparing for those little windows of opportunity when they arise. And, they will! ;-) So, when they do, be ready to take it *if* it is what you Truly want and have been magnetizing for yourself. You’ll be tested and distracted, as that is what the Universe does once declarations have been made. “Really? You want this and this? Hmmmm, what if throw *this* enticement at you?” Don’t you find? But we shall not be distracted, because we know, deep in our hearts and being what we Truly want for ourselves. And, as the inner creates the outer, all~ways, we shall Lovingly, consciously attract our heart’s desire. In Loving Gratitude and Perfect Timing!

Love and Many Blessings,
Antonia
