Don’t Do Something-
Just Sit There

Yes I know, this might sound contrary to what we normally hear, “Don’t just sit there, do something.” Well, last night I was totally inspired by the Twitter EpicChat conversation that really got me thinking about being in the flow and being spontaneous. So lets chat for just a moment about this whole notion of NOT doing something and JUST sitting there.

The question was brought up, does it take planning to be in the flow of life? Does is take planning to be spontaneous? There are so many ways to look at those questions a a million ways to answer depending on who you are and where you are in life…but it just got me thinking and here are my thoughts.

I think that in this day and age, slowing down is not apart of most people’s daily regime. It’s go, go, go, all the time from the time they get up to the time they go to bed. I know myself personally can get this way and then I eventually awaken to realize I’m living life with very little consciousness-that I’m not in the flow of life and things are a “push” to get done.

It’s not that the flow of life ever went away or even slowed down, it was just that in a matter of sorts I turned away, didn’t recognize, didn’t tune into the flow of life that’s there to help my Divine Journey of Bliss. It could be argued that some don’t have “good” flow in their life-that everything always goes wrong for them. (I have a certain someone in my family that is much like that and sometimes I just want to ring their neck). But even that “not so fun” flow is a flow, RIGHT? Might not be the most desireable flow but it’s still there none the less.

How I Get In The Flow

You know for almost 30 years I never even knew there was a wonderful flow that’s “on my side”…it wasn’t until November of 2008 that I began a journey of self healing, learning tools that connect me to my highest self and Divine Purpose in life. I began a regular practice of meditation which allowed me, for the first time really in my entire life, to feel that flow running through me, around me, and in every aspect of my life like never before. So it wasn’t as if the flow wasn’t there-it was and is ALWAYS there-I just had to find tune my consciousness to even realize it was there and understand how to ease my way into that flow of ever so beautiful energy that helps me in every way.

Meditation to me is a fantastic tool and practice that helps quiet the massive thought traffic that really never stops, but meditation quiets that and allows me to heal, connect to Spirit, it imparts in me Divine Inspiration, allows me to have creative solutions, meditation has cultivated more patience and understanding in my life in every area of my life. It’s not in meditation that all these things happen but most of the time in my every day life-the FLOW!

Everyone Get’s in the Flow a Little Different

So on Sunday’s my neighbors don’t ever work, not even a little house cleaning, no working on the yard, or even a bike ride…Sunday’s are set for day whole day of Spiritual Worship. My neighbors are of the Mormon faith and although that’s not my way of Spirituality there is something to the Sabbath concept-where they allow themselves to get closer to Spirit, they do nothing so that the rest of the week provides everything they need in this journey.

My father, I’m not sure that he has faith at all of the traditional sense but he is ALWAYS in the flow…he is a brilliant man who is super creative, works hard, has many many friends, tons of money, loves helping people and is just a great man. However, he does “just sit there” a lot and I believe that’s why he has flow working in his life the way anyone would want. He sits alone writing every single day of his life, not like in a journal like most but he prefers 3×5 index cards-just writes and writes and not just for a minute each day but ALL day long. As thoughts come into his mind he takes a card out and writes. He takes those quiet “just sit there moments” and really pays attention to what he’s guided to do or create by writing it down. The flow in this man’s life is amazing and anyone can see it.

Don’t Fight the Flow

733971 ms Dont Do Something Just Sit There Just like the Ocean the Flow of Life is always there weather we like it or not. And much like the rip currents of the Ocean we can experience the not so thrilled “rips” in the Flow of Life…it’s when we begin to fight against the current that the rip tide will take us down and sometimes never to return. Understanding the powerful, beautiful, amazing Flow of the Ocean and just being in that flow you will eventually be taken to safe ground. But that only happens if we let go, allow fear to leave our bodies even when it’s uncomfortable-knowing that the Universe always has our best interest at hand and will do everything to help us in this journey to evolve to our highest self and Divine Purpose.

So when someone just sits and meditates, or takes a whole day devoted to their faith, or perhaps someone journals a lot we should no longer look at that as people being lazy, quirky or silly for taking that time, because it’s in that time that we are truly nurturing ourselves, we are aligning with the “current” Flow of Life so that it works in our favor.

In life it’s not all about the doing, so we don’t just have to go do something to get what we want, sometimes it’s in those quiet and ever so still and seemingly doing nothing moments that actually create our dream life. We are incubating as Jana calls it. Incubating on the possibilities of our Divine Purpose, incubating on creative ways of staying in that Flow of the Universe to truly live a Blissful and Loving LIFE!!!
