[Daily OM]: The flow of the universe moves
through everything. It's in the rocks that form, get pounded into dust,
and are blown away, the sprouting of a summer flower born from a seed
planted in the spring, the growth cycle that every human being goes
through, and the current that takes us down our life's paths. When we
move with the flow, rather than resisting it, we are riding on the
universal current that allows us to flow with life.
Many people live their lives struggling against this current. They try
to use force or resistance to will their lives into happening the way
they think it should. Others move with this flow like a sailor using the
wind, trusting that the universe is taking them exactly where they need
to be at all times. This flow is accessible to everyone because it
moves through and around us. We are always riding this flow. It's just a
matter of whether we are willing to go with it or resist it. Tapping
into the flow is often a matter of letting go of the notion that we need
to be in control at all times. The flow is always taking you where you
need to go. It's just a matter of deciding whether you plan on taking
the ride or dragging your feet.
Learning to step into the flow can help you feel a connection to a force
that is greater than you and is always there to support you. The
decision to go with the flow can take courage because you are
surrendering the notion that you need to do everything by yourself.
Riding the flow of the universe can be effortless, exhilarating, and not
like anything that you ever expected. When you are open to being in
this flow, you open yourself to possibilities that exist beyond the
grasp of your control. As a child, you were naturally swept by the flow.
Tears of sadness falling down your face could just as quickly turn to
tears of laughter. Just the tiniest wave carrying you forward off the
shores of the ocean could carry you into peals of delight. Our souls
feel good when we go with the flow of the universe. All we have to do is
make the choice to ride its currents.
