Hello beautiful souls. I hope you can hear me.
I'm driving on the highway just doing a little audio recording
and wanted to share how impactful and and meaningful and
helpful this flow state process has been for me.
If you're not familiar, the best way is to.
I'll put it in the show notes. It's a 28 minute podcast audio
recording that I did a few months ago.
It's it's on the Unite show and I'll link it, link it in here.
But that really gives like a deep overview of like exactly
what I'm talking about and and what I do.
And yeah, I guess for this one I just wanted to share a little
bit. It just feels like when I'm
having a rough time or feeling not fully primed and ready to go
and having a down day or just feeling stressed or triggered.
I've got this practice now that feels like it's so helpful and
it just feels like having a warm bath or like someone just, you
know, loving you and taking care of you and saying all these nice
things to you. It's just such a lovely thing.
So I'm going to, I'm going to just talk out loud what I
usually do in my mind when I do this practice, just to kind of
give you a sense of it. And I usually do it when I'm
driving. For some reason.
It's the it's the sweet spot where I'm I can just really flow
into it. And I'm, I'm not distracted on
devices. I'm not kind of tempted to just
do something else like you know, I just have to like sit and
drive. So it's it's seems to be really
helpful. The other time is walking, but
sometimes that can be a little bit more distracting or it's
harder for me to get into it. So for whatever reason driving
has been a really great way to to really like get into it.
I can do it at home or or walking or whatever.
So whatever works for you. But yeah, for whatever reason
this has been helpful. So when I when I start and
basically just the whole time I'm meditating, I'm focusing on
my breath and just the goal is to be still and open and
receptive. And then what happens is when I
hit that point in meditation where I'm feeling so good that
these impulses of movement and thought that are so juicy and
joyful and lovely that feel so good, just kind of bubble up and
they just sort of happen. And I'm, I'm not doing anything.
I'm not trying. I'm not forcing.
The only thing I'm trying to do is focus on surrendering and
being stable and clear. And and once in a while I'll
kind of step out of it and check in and just make sure that I'm
still in that nice, clear place. And I'll, I'll, I'll kind of,
you know, demo how I do that. So here we go.
So I'm just focusing on my third eye.
If I was not driving, I would close my eyes, but I I won't
hear. So I'm just kind of opening my
field of vision. Breathing.
I got a little neck movement, like my head went back
involuntarily. Almost feels just like energy.
Wants to move and words are starting to come and know I'm
enough. I love myself so much.
So blessed, so worthy. So now I'm talking.
So as you can hear, it's just like if it, if it.
If you're not getting like that, you're probably not in the
receptive mode. Like it just feels like love and
ease and lovely and so nice. But I've also found sometimes if
I've got some specific triggers, negative stuff coming up, that
if I do a similar practice, it can kind of guide me around that
and soften the edges a bit and it'll sound a bit different.
It'll be more soothing about a specific thing, like it's OK you
don't have to do everything, you're not bad if you're not
focused all the time, blah blah blah.
But right now this is where I'm at.
So but the the the practice the basic practice is simply
surrender. Try and find that sweet spot
where there's no thought, where you're meditating and just
really focus on breath or one thing like really really in that
like deep, nice meditative state.
But then when the impulses and the nice feelings and thoughts
arise just let it happen. Just sort of be open and
receptive to that and and if when you meditate you just want
to like start crying or the the thoughts that come up are really
negative it's like OK you can you know do whatever feels good
to to move through that situations.
Of course crying is great and sometimes it's helpful to kind
of like you know be mad but that's a different that's a
different process that's like you know kind of moving moving
up the scale. This is this is more of anyways
I guess it's all the same so but sometimes I have found that if I
am in a if I'm in a wobbly state and I have some negative stuff
going on and I try and do this and the energy is really intense
and it feels like I have to like push through it.
I can kind of go for a bit but then I end up feeling like burnt
out and tired and just triggered and sad and upset about it.
Whereas this almost always leads to this like higher and higher
and higher better better and better feeling state.
So yeah I think you get the point I won't, I won't keep
going. But basically what happens is
I'll go from this general like, and sometimes I'll do this for
like hours. It's just so, 'cause it just
feels so good. And that's why driving is nice,
'cause I'm like, I'm not doing anything, I'm just going to
drive and it just feels so good. And then so like phase one is
I'll go from in, you know, in that everything I want is coming
to me so blessed. I know I'm enough.
It might sound silly it might sound whatever, but the idea is
that I'm focusing on things that are non resistant and that feel
good and or I'm not, I'm not focusing on I'm just allowing
them. But that there's something about
that that kind of builds this foundation of momentum.
And then after I do that for a while, and it all depends on
where I'm at. So, you know, sometimes it's 5
minutes, sometimes it's half an hour, but usually within the
first bit I'll get into this state where I'll move out of
like general just good feeling thoughts.
And I will be drawn to my home screen on my phone and I'll just
look briefly and glance at an app icon and that will sort of
prompt a more specific lot about South.
For the Facebook Messenger icon, it's sometimes about friends and
connections. So it's like, oh, I'm so loved.
So many people love me. So many people want to support
so blessed yadda yadda. And then for the Unite one, it's
like I'm so excited for the United da da da.
So it's it's kind of I get into that state and then usually
after that I will get into a another kind of general but it's
like a higher level like better feeling more clear more precise.
Sometimes I'll be getting specific words about specific
things to either soothe or just goose up and feel better.
And then at a certain point I'll usually, and this all depends on
my energy. Sometimes after a while I'm just
like, OK, that was fun. I'm going to listen to podcast
and watch a movie and and just to know that like, that's OK and
to not worry about it and just like, OK, that's where my energy
is at right now. That's the most helpful.
And I find if I can just follow this, surrender, do whatever I'm
kind of drawn and inspired to. I will eventually like, build up
the good energy or I'll go to bed or I'll something will
happen. I'll be drawn into this really
nice place. Whereas if I try and force it, I
try and like focus and push and even like try and feel too good,
too quick or try and clear stuff when I'm not in the right spot.
It just kind of wobbles and I I don't feel good.
So so then after getting into the specifics more you know,
being drawn to my app screen and specifically thinking about
different things. But again, I'm not doing it, I'm
I'm just being drawn to it. I'm being inspired.
I'm letting the words just come. I'm kind of in a channeling type
state. And then after that I'll often
get to this place where I will be kind of still like Neo in the
Matrix where everything kind of slows down.
I won't be really drawn to anything in specific and the
only words that will come to me are what do you want to talk
about? And I'll just keep getting that.
And sometimes I will prompt a question and then receive an
answer that's different than what I've been thinking usually,
which has has kind of helped me see that this is not just like
my mind. Like I'll get like very specific
answers that don't, that I have to like, process and think about
and it's not kind of what was on my top of mind.
Or sometimes I will be then guided from that place of real
clarity to soothe and clean up something that's been bothering
me. And I found that that's really
the only time. Well, I shouldn't say that, but
I found that definitely the surrendering state is.
It has been the best way for me to handle any of that kind of
stuff where it feels like I need to, like, clean up some stuff.
It's I'm just getting the same old pattern over and over.
And it's annoying. And I'm like, I know there's a
deeper thing here. And I know I just kind of kind
of talk myself out of it and feel better about it and
whatever, you know, move some energy.
So yeah, so that that sometimes happens.
And again, sometimes I'm just drawn to relax and listen or
watch something. Sometimes I'll be inspired to
like a specific action. Like I'll just get like,
whatever. A lot of the time I'll get into
like, brainstorm. But it's not like it's different
than a brainstorm because it's like I just get a very clear
answer. Like a, the brainstorm is like
every idea all at once. Whereas with this I'm like, OK,
what should we do with our events?
And then I just kind of go and I get like very, like clarity.
And sometimes I'll have to like play the game of like hot and
cold question and answer, like, should we do this?
No. Should we do this?
Ah, OK, that's the one. And what I found is that it
feels kind of like I'm any musicians out there will know
this. Like, I'm sort of tuning my
instrument and when it's tuned, it just it just plays
beautifully. Like if you know how to play it
and it's tuned plays beautifully, but if you know how
to play an instrument and it's not tuned, it's going to sound
like shit no matter what you do. Unless you're just playing one
string or whatever. Like it's it's not, it doesn't
sound good. And I feel like a lot of people
are out there with untuned instruments being like, this
song sucks, this partner sucks, this job sucks.
And it's like, well, maybe, but you can also tune your
instrument and then I love, Abraham said.
This thing about if you're in a situation you don't like, the
best way to shift is to make it something that you do like and
to make the most of it, make the best of it feel as good as
possible about it, Just love it if it's not like if it's like a
job or something that you just feel like you can't even just
not do. And by doing that, you either
create this vibration around this subject that is so clear
and pure that only things that match that vibration can now be
part of that subject. If you really do a good job of
it and don't bring in old stuff or focus on the reality of the
now, but are really focused on what you love about it, why you
love it, how it's good for you and others, All that stuff like
really get into a juicy like good feeling place about it.
And either it will sort of come up to meet you and this works
for people to either it or they will come up to meet you and you
will start to see more and more of more and more of that like
juicy goodness or they'll just kind of spiral and spiral out of
your life and and and it'll kind of shift something else.
So yeah, it's really, that's really interesting.
