Water......finding your flow

Dear Yogis,

 

This weekend was the Women’s retreat in Rehoboth, where I and a magnificent group of goddess yoginis, headed to the beach…to the water, to submerge ourselves.

And that we did.

 

With earth we got so still and silent that we noticed the unbelievably infinite vastness we are part of.  Filled with limitless possibilities in which to create. 

With water we now take that awareness and open up to “feel” it.  Feeling that space.  Feeling who we are.  Feeling what it is we truly desire -  what we long for.  Just plain feeling. 

So this weekend was filled with water.  From diving into the October ocean to go deep (and those of you who have been to the ocean with me know this was a big step!!!!)……. to lying drenched on the sand with no chair and no blanket, just  to feel the sand on our backs and the sun on our face…... being watched over all day long by the moon in the daytime sky……...to the very next day, walking to yoga class in the cold fall rain. 

But water is even more.  It is about finding your flow.  Finding that exact radio frequency on the dial that is yours and yours alone, to let go into.   

Today’s world would have you believe that life is about struggle.  Struggling to “get ahead” .   That “working hard” is the way to  succeed.  That the “daily grind” is required and necessary.  Swimming upstream.  “Fighting” your way to the top.  That is takes “toughness”, “grit” and “sweat” to make it.

But the journey I am on, and the one I hope to share, does not abide by those rules.  Life is not a test.  It is a magnificent, beautiful winding path that you can choose to create.  First by finding what it is you desire.  Don’t try to “think” of what that is.  Don’t analyze it or come up with a million reasons of why it can’t happen.  For now, just FEEL it.   And let go.

Not swimming against the current, but giving in to its flow. AAAaaahhhhh….
