Q & A

What is meant by 'being in the flow'?

Being in the flow refers to when we are aligned with and going with the current of energy from our soul. It feels like inspiration, excitement, passion, appreciation - states where we have energy and momentum behind our actions.

How can going against our soul's intended path for us make life more difficult?

Going against our soul's intended path creates resistance and lack of energy/inspiration. Things become much harder and we may end up exhausted, stressed out, or even fail.

Why is it important to align our internal energy with external currents?

External currents represent the flow of energy in people, conditions, and situations around us. By aligning internally and externally we can effectively move with different energies instead of fighting against them.

How can we identify when we are out of alignment or flow?

When out of alignment we feel internal resistance, tension, frustration, feeling stuck or drained. These are signals we need to pause and address misalignments before proceeding.

What is one key thing we can do to get into flow?

Prioritizing how you feel above all else. Don't take actions until you've addressed negative feelings and are in an aligned state - inspiration/excitement vs resistance/doubt.

Why is fragmentation an obstacle to being in flow?

When parts of our own consciousness conflict, such as one part wanting something and another part opposing it, it creates tension and circular momentum. Aligning these fragments is key.

What is the benefit of complete presence when taking action?

Being completely immersed in the present moment focuses all our energy on the activity. This allows our actions to be powered and backed by the universal energy flow.

How can we use synchronicity as a flow marker?

Moments of synchronicity show us the interconnected flow between our internal state and the outside world working to meet our needs. It confirms being in alignment.

Why is daily introspection and meditation important?

It allows us to tune into our subtle internal energies to sense when we feel alignment vs misalignment. Most people are too externally focused to notice.

What does it mean to 'follow your joy'?

Choosing thoughts, words and actions that align with our deepest desires and passions. It means making choices based on what feels good and right to us, leading to a more fulfilled and joyful life.

🤔 What is 'being in the flow'?

This opening paragraph defines what 'being in the flow' means - it is when our actions align with the energy current of our soul, resulting in positive emotions like inspiration and joy. Going against this flow causes resistance and negative emotions. An analogy is given of facing upstream against a powerful river current.

05:01

😊 How to get in the flow

The second paragraph provides 10 practical tips for getting into the flow: prioritizing feelings over all else, getting clear on desires, integrating fragmented parts of self, being responsive to conditions changing, acting quickly when inspired, practicing presence, following intuitive rightness, seeing synchronicities as a flow signpost, daily meditation, and accepting alignment as a lifelong practice.

10:03

🐟 Go with the flow like a fish

The third paragraph uses a fish metaphor to illustrate the importance of flexibility and responsiveness. We are part of a larger organism where all is connected. To align with our own flow and the universe's currents, we must be willing to change course at any moment, rather than rigidly sticking to plans.

15:06

😊 More tips for flow

Additional tips in paragraph four include: act immediately on inspiration before momentum is lost, be fully present in each moment to direct energy effectively, become familiar with the feeling of rightness to guide you, and see synchronicities as evidence of being in sync with the flow.

Transcripts

When it comes to success and Happiness nothing is more important than being in the flow

Being in the flow is one of those catch phrases that you hear floating around society

but most people have no idea what the hell that means or

how to be in the flow today, I'm going to clear that up for you completely

To get your mind onboard with this talk I want you to imagine that your soul is like a current of energy water

That is flowing from a higher dimension into the physical dimension

Just like a current of river it has momentum to it as it flows down here into the physical dimension

Your physical self that you call by your name was an essence of thought created by your soul

It is a second point of perspective and it has free will

Because of that free will the you that you called by your name in this life can consciously and more often than that

unconsciously choose to think and say and do things that cause you to go with

Your soul's current or to think and say and do things that cause you to go against that soul current

When we are going with that current it is said that we are in alignment

When we go against that current it is said that we are out of alignment

When we are going with the current we know it because of the way that we feel it feels to us

internally like the sensation of relief

It feels the same as being in a very strong stream of water

Where you're fighting against the current to the point of exhaustion?

And then you let go and you let the current take you

Imagining that this current was taking you in the direction of everything you wanted

This emotionally translates in our bodies as things like inspiration excitement joy passion and appreciation

We then say we are in the flow

When we are going against the current we also know it because of the way that we feel it will feel internally like resistance in

tension

This emotionally translates in our bodies as things like feeling stuck frustrated powerless depressed anxious or other painful emotional states

It can literally be compared to facing upstream against a very powerful

If any of you have done that you know that it ends up exhausting you stressing you out and in some cases drowning you

So let me give you an example

Let's say that your souls in tension before coming to this life on earth was to be a teacher

Now let's say though that you encounter parents growing up who say

You have to do something that can get you respected and the only things that get you respected or jobs that pay a lot of

money

So thinking that thought

Which is against the stream of the current of your own soul?

You will most likely take actions like going to law school

Now passing the bar exam is gonna be 50 times harder for you than it is for say somebody else who's in

alignment with their soul when they're going to school to be a lawyer so

It's gonna be a lot of effort. You're gonna be miserable

it's gonna pull you in the opposite direction of the current of your own stream of energy and

As a result you're gonna feel negative emotion

Being in the flow also relates to things in the external world

Everything in the world essentially has its own current of energy so you're interacting with those other currents all day long

Being in the flow in the world is about aligning your own internal current to the currents that are around you

For example let's say the weather decides to create a hurricane

it's not been possible for you to be in the flow if you continue to push against that and demand for an outdoor wedding to

Take place despite that fact. You would then be fighting against the external current that exists and this always ends very badly

So staying in the flow requires a readjustment, so you can be in alignment with your own flow in the direction of your own desires

while not going against those of others

Relationships are essentially all about this. It's about a person staying in alignment with themself as well as staying in alignment with the other person

Being in the flow which is also referred to as being in the zone when it comes to performing activities

Causes us to enter physiological and physical state where when we are doing something

We're completely present with it instead of divided in any way

There are no contradictory energies interfering with the flow of our focus either in internally or externally

Nothing is preventing us. We feel focused completely energized and in full enjoyment of the process of the activity

It takes almost no effort to do that thing and our productivity goes through the roof

The energy that we extend towards that thing feels good and fulfilling instead of depleting

It's as if doing the thing in and of itself re news you

When we are in the state it is almost like our soul is saying. Yes. This is what I came here for

the most

Successful people in this world have managed to think and say and do things which cause them to be so much so in alignment

that they have the energy the current of their own soul and

the universe at large backing every action that they take

So now that you understand the basic dynamic that is occurring within the state of flow how do you get in the flow?

number one the single most

Important thing you will ever do to get in the flow is to prioritize how you feel above every other thing on earth

Do not take a single

Action until you are in alignment on an emotional level

your emotions will always without fail tell you whether you are in the flow in a state of alignment or not if

You feel any of that resistance

You have to get to a state of relief before you take any action

Otherwise that action will yield undesirable results and you will be working 400 times as hard

for this much outcome I

Am literally telling you this today the most successful people on this planet. This is what they decide to do

I'm gonna give you an example for my own life

When I'm writing one of these asked heal episodes

I refuse to write one unless I really want to if I don't feel the inspiration. I literally won't do it

So what I do is I give myself an entire week

Knowing that on one of those days

I will write the episode if I wake up and I don't want to I will not touch my computer

The same principle applies to my events not just relative to myself

Relative to other people everyone on my team knows this that if there's a lick of resistance

I will stop everything in order to focus on what the issue is and create resolve so that all members of the

Team have their energy flowing in the direction of an event

This is how to pull off an event where there's no contradictory energy is going into the event and that creates instantaneous success

To get a handle on what you desire

desire is what creates the momentum of the stream of energy that you can either turn against or go with and

It works a hundred times better if you're aware of your desire and thus going in the direction of it

But one thing you have to accept is this universe knows what you desire

Often better than you do the more conscious. We are of what we desire the less we interfere with the current of energy

The more that we can understand the universe is actually onboard with our desire

And thus that current of energy the more that we can trust that if something changes, or falls through is actually

Taking us in the direction of our desires instead of against it

So many of us are not living in the flow suddenly because we're too terrified to follow our desires

We don't get on board with them

We may know that we want to be a musician, but we take a job we freaking hate

Anyways, it is impossible to be in the flow if you're not in alignment with your own desires

3 we need to become aware of and integrate our own fragmentation

one of the reasons

It's almost impossible for people in today's world to live in the flow is because their own consciousness has broken into so many different

Parts as if it's not bad enough that we turn against the stream of the current of our own soul

Our own perspective that does the turning against also fragments into several different parts

So the you that you call by your name is not just one individual. It's many and many have contradictory ideas

For example

One part of us wants to be on the stage and other ones to hide

One part of us wants a relationship the other hates people

Noticing contradictory energies whether they come from inside or outside is the best way to identify that you're not currently in the flow

these contradictory energies within us creates a

Horrible condition, which is the opposite of being in the flow? I'm going to give you an analogy

imagine that you're in a boat and you're in a stream of water and

Some people in this boat or paddling upstream some are paddling downstream the boats gonna turn in circles

It's gonna get stuck. It's gonna move forward kind of then. It's gonna go upstream

That's the life that we are living relative to the flow when we have contradictory energies occurring within us

We have to get these contradictory and polarized energies within us to a place where they can align and agree upon a singular

Direction to understand this concept in depth I want you to watch my video titled fragmentation the worldwide disease

For be like a fish in the ocean currents

in reality

All beings in this universe are part of a larger organism, so you can see the universes itself as one organism

And we are a part of that organism all things are connected

Naturally as a result of that truth

responsiveness

To other parts of us is a natural part of this universe but most of us are not very responsive

Most people think they are above the need to be responsive when conditions change. They don't want to change with it

They want to be independent

agents

When we are doing this we're a bit like a fish that has decided upon a course of action so we swim in that direction

And when we encounter a shark because we previously made the plan to go that way we continue swimming

the topic of commitment is something else entirely I want you to take that concept and just put it to the side today because

People who avoid commitment, that's a separate conversation

Today we're going to talk about the people who are so committed to their own way of being that they're not

Responsive to any energies within the universe and that makes it impossible to be in a state of flow

Our number one priority and commitment needs to be to staying in alignment with ourselves

Staying in alignment with the people around us that

Is what will create success for us in this universe?

But this requires flexibility it requires us to be able to change with the tides

To be truly successful you must be able to change your plans at a moment's notice so that you are always

Working with your own internal current with the currents of other people and with the currents of the universe at large

instead of against any these currents

to be in alignment with yourself with other people and with the universe at large you have to be able to stop dead in your

tracks

Reevaluate and completely change course at a moment's notice

This is exalted spontaneity

Now many people in the world get very nervous at this because they know that being spontaneous in this way adds an element of unpredictability

and uncertainty to the equation

But they are actually in unsafety

The safety that we actually do have is

Responsiveness otherwise we are literally that fish swimming in the direction of shark

You are connected to everything in this universe everything is interdependent

And so responding to the shifts in those currents is responding to your own current, so there's actually no contradiction there

We are part of something bigger than ourselves

five act fast on inspiration

This is another one of the major mistakes people make when they are not living in the flow

They take too long to act on inspiration

This is a little bit like a surfer who's sitting in the water and a giant wave comes and he sits there and sits there

And sits there and waits for it to pass then goes you know maybe I should get up and now there's no momentum

You have five seconds

Five seconds when you have an inspiration to take your first action doesn't matter whether it's writing something down or taking some other action

five seconds is what you have to do that and

People who are very successful they become adept at doing that

They get up on the wave as fast as it hits them

And they write it all the way through to the completion of the task instead of allowing themselves to become totally distracted by other things

It's with single focus writing the wave and letting it pull you all the way to the completion of the project

six practice being completely present

When you use your focus to come into your body and into the moment that you're in

You are focusing that very strong stream of energy into your physical

Embodiment this makes it so that every action you take is backed by ten times the energy

This way of doing things is best seen through the analogy of an ass

I want you to imagine an athlete who's completely in the game

He loves what he's doing and so all of the energy is flowing into this moment nothing outside this moment exists

He's completely engaged in it

Now imagine that same athlete, but this time he's stressing on top of acting here in the present

He's stressing about whether he's gonna stay with his wife or not

or imagine an athlete

Who's thinking about whether he's gonna win or lose you can see that that actually Rob's energy from his physical embodiment

And when there's not as much energy flowing into your physical embodiment in the here-and-now where you're completely present all of your actions

Are not backed by Universal energy

And so it will take 10 times the effort to do something that another person backed by Universal energy would feel like

Takes no effort

The same principle applies to relationships

if we are in the room with someone we need to be fully there with them and immersed with them if

We cannot be we need to address any resistance

That's preventing us from doing so so that we can be fully present in this state all

Doing naturally arises as a result of being and the doing is therefore much more powerful and effective

7 become familiar with the sensation the feeling of rightness within your being

Now this is very distinct from the idea of what's right

We can have an idea that something's right when in reality when we're really honest with ourselves

It feels completely freakin wrong now

I know that all of you have watched these movies where it's obvious that someone's making a huge freakin mistake

But they're doing what they think is right my favorite example of this is I'm gonna have to break up with them

We shouldn't be together anymore, and you can tell that internally everything in them is screaming

oh

that person's not in the flow the feeling of rightness is like an internal yes without the

contradiction of an internal no somewhere

It will feel expansive. It will feel like relief it says to us

I don't necessarily know why this thing feels right, but it just does

Keep following that feeling of rightness

8 the road marker or Karen 4 flow is

synchronicity

Now what is synchronicity exactly?

Synchronicity is a meaningful occurrence that

Cannot be explained through cause and effect

You cannot do anything to directly cause synchronicity to happen and yet it does and it does so to meet our needs

it is in these moments that you can see the

interconnectedness between your own flow and the flow of the universe at large

I'll give you an example of a synchronicity. There's so many it's absolutely ridiculous, but here's one. Let's say that somebody

You know is suffering from cancer, and it's stressing you out a lot

And you just so happen to sit on the airplane next to the person whose entire specialty in life is

alternative remedies for solving cancer

Synchronicity often shows up as fortuitous events

notice and follow

Synchronicities they mean you are in the flow flow allows you to be in the right place at the right time

it allows you to feel good and act at the exact right time and to act in alignment with universal timing I

Will warn you once you start living in the flow?

Synchronicities will not be that rare in fact your entire life will be nothing but a series of them

9 meditate daily or do some kind of introspective activity with no distractions whatsoever

so many of us

Do not know what our internal flow is doing whether we're in alignment or not because we are so externally focused

We're caught up in doing we're following our task lists

We're suppressing our emotional state and so the last thing we're doing is coming into alignment with ourselves

This is what meditation and introspective exercises are created for

When you start to tune into this on a regular daily basis these subtle energies within you where you're like wow yeah

I guess I was feeling not so good will feel like freaking tsunamis

It's really it gets to the point when you live in the flow or when people say oh my gosh

That's really subtle you're like. Oh my god. Not subtle at all you're just not used to feeling it

Most of the people in society today are living and taking actions and saying and thinking and doing things that are completely

Out of alignment with themselves and they have no idea

So when they get sick and things like that happened, they go, I don't know what happened

Introspective tools of any kind are the best Arsenal in your bag for coming into alignment with yourself

10 except that getting into the flow is not something that you do and then it's done

It is something that you will be doing for the rest of your life there will never be a day

Where your life won't be about?

Coming into alignment with yourself coming into a lane with yourself coming into a line with other people coming into a limit with universal arms

Coming into alignment with yourself that is literally your lifelong practice

like a current

Everything is constantly in motion in this universe constantly changing constantly mutating

Nothing is static ever

Every moment of the day is an opportunity to be in the flow or out of the flow with yourself and other things

The waves never stop coming desires never stop arising conditions never stopped changing

Self-discovery and increasing awareness never ceases so being in the flow is not something you can ever stop

It's like surfing

Somebody who's a surfer never stops writing ways?

They never stop having to adjust to the currents

But what happens is over time it becomes second nature

They become so incredibly adept of feeling every single one of these currents

That's going on that they become adept to coming into alignment with it and writing it that

Is what your life is going to be like if you commit to being in the flow?

Eleven follow your joy. How you feel matters more than anything else on this earth

Following your joy is the North Star of being in the flow?

This means think thoughts and speak words and take actions in the direction of your personal joy

Your purpose on this earth in this life cannot be separate from your joy is a vibrational

Impossibility because of the way that this time-space reality and life itself was designed

Therefore the way to find your purpose and stay in alignment not just with yourself

But with every current that exists in the external world is to follow your joy

it is worth every risk that you could ever take I

Cannot tell you how?

successful, and how feel-good and how in alignment your life can be if you prioritize being in the

Flow and make an absolute practice of it

Every video that I ever have created or ever will create is designed to help you try to

Come into alignment so that you are in the flow

Now this is the point at which I tell you

By committing to coming into the flow you will discover the highest truth of your physical life

Which is that you were meant to live your dreams?

It's your birthright

Have a good week.
