Hi,
This is Karin Hindräger and today I'd like to explore with you a state of flow.
How we can be in flow and what is preventing us from experiencing flow in life and how we can change that.
What do I mean with a state of flow or experiencing flow?
Flow for me is when no matter what happens,
I'm okay with it.
No matter what happens,
I trust that everything is working out and that everything is good for something,
Even if I can't see that at this particular moment.
Often we are so tied up that we believe everything needs to be perfect for us to be okay and we think we need to be a certain way for us to be experiencing flow.
But in my experience and in my point of view,
It's the opposite.
It's when we become okay with no matter what is happening,
We are experiencing flow.
Because there is no agenda,
There are no expectations how things need to look and be like for us to be okay.
We come to a place where we trust we are okay no matter what.
That everything is always working out for us and through that surrender,
It's a natural consequence that we are experiencing flow.
Let's reflect for a moment on what is holding us back from experiencing flow in life.
What I notice most often is that we are in a state of fight,
In a state where we are either fighting something in particular because it is not in alignment with our view of how things should be or we are fighting ourselves or our experience.
As long as we are experiencing a state of fight,
We don't trust that things work out.
We are in a constant state of stress and our nervous system is usually triggered if not shut down.
We are disconnected from who we truly are,
Even though often we can't feel it yet.
We are because we are occupying or better said,
Distracting ourselves so much with being in this state of fight and don't allow ourselves to experience the feelings that like to be witnessed.
We can't experience flow in this state.
We might seem to do all the so-called right things to try to manifest a state of flow and over trying,
Over doing to make things work.
But as long as we experience a state of fight in one or more areas in our life,
We never really experience flow because there is no trust.
We feel like we are having to take care of things instead of trusting that whatever needs to come will come through at the right time.
One of the things to look out for is if someone shares their truth with us and we feel like we have to argue it or if there is something general out there that we as a single person can't change at this moment and we go all in fighting it instead of witnessing what this brings up within us.
That doesn't mean we can't ever change it,
But at this moment we can't change it.
It's just how it is.
And allowing ourselves to witness what is happening within us instead of fighting it changes how things are taking place as we raise our frequency.
When we are trying to fight it and we try to go out there and make it happen,
This shows us that we are not really speaking our truth.
We are not allowing ourselves to speak our truth and experience our feelings because when we allow ourselves to speak our truth,
Then we allow everyone else to do the same.
And as we allow everyone else to do the same,
We start to honor who we truly are.
It's like a little bit of a coming home within.
And as we come home within,
We allow everyone else to experience their truth.
There is no need to fight anymore.
This is when we can experience flow because we know everything is always working out for us.
We know even the things that are happening that don't seem to be good at this moment.
They will have a gift or an opportunity later on for us.
Maybe it's a lesson.
Maybe it's something we have to work through to witness and to allow ourselves to be seen in our messiness so we can be more of us.
I invite you to just notice in the next little while,
Are you fighting something outside of yourself?
Or are you disagreeing with people in need to fight to argue your truth?
Or do you just think it is your truth?
But deep down,
You know it is not your real truth.
Let me give you an example.
A relative of mine that is really dear to me is so tied up in what is happening or what has been happening in the world in the last few years.
It just doesn't fit her world view.
Or better said,
How she thinks things should play out.
Don't get me wrong,
I agree with many of her points.
But I do not need to argue,
Fight or convince anyone about my truth.
So no matter what,
She's fighting it.
She always has to argue about it.
She always has to rebel against it in a sense.
And you could say that that's her truth.
And she for sure believes that it is her truth.
But I bet there is more behind it.
Maybe there is a fear behind it.
Maybe there's something else behind it.
I don't know.
We don't always have to know.
But I bet if she would allow herself to speak her truth in a sense that she acknowledges what is actually really happening within her,
She would not have to fight it anymore.
And she could come back to a state where things start to flow.
So I invite you to see where are you fighting in your life?
And what are you trying to not look at?
And allow yourself to notice this just for a moment.
What could be waiting for you?
And as you start to notice and allow yourself to feel whatever is happening within you,
You open up the opportunity to come to a place where you can start to speak your truth,
Even if it's just a snippet of it to start out with.
And the beauty in that is as soon as we start,
It builds momentum.
And we are allowing ourselves more and more to be seen for who we truly are.
And we come to a place where we can allow this beautiful state of flow into our life because we know everything is always working out for us.
