Ever been constipated?
Yea, you know the feeling... Sitting on the toilet, forcing as hard as you can.
Maybe you feel like your head will explode or your heart will stop from all the pressure.
Then what comes out?
A tiny little pebble. Or a giant rock that splits you open and leaves you gasping for air.
This may sound extreme, but it's important. It's how you can really feel what I'm sharing with you today.
Flow over Force.
This is a newer concept for me. One that I've heard for years in sayings like "Be like water" or "Go with the flow," but I haven't really understood its importance. I haven't known how to implement it into my life.
This post is to share with you how Spirit and Creator are really asking me to slow down, be present, and stop forcing my agenda where it's not needed.
So, can I allow my life to flow in the direction that Creator has put forth for me? Can I allow that which is meant for me and my path to come to me?
That's what I want to share with you today in the audio note above and the writing below.
Recently, I committed to 65 days of journaling.
The point was to prepare myself for guiding men on a 6-week journey that included a 24-hour solo fast. To prepare me energetically, mentally, and emotionally to be able to hold space and guide them.
The problem was that the journaling felt empty. Meaningless.
I was meeting a lot of resistance with doing it. It wasn't a lack of discipline, as I continued to show up for three weeks. But something internally was off.
This is where I realized that I was forcing my way, instead of listening to Spirit and my inner knowing for how I could truly prepare for guiding.
This was a core message for me. A mirror from nature.
I had been trying to force my way through something that wasn't meant to be. I had to pivot. But more importantly, I needed to listen to what Spirit was trying to tell me.
What I needed more than ever was to slow down. Be present. Be still. And listen.
Stop speaking, stop doing, and simply listen.
So that's what I started doing every morning.
Breathe, pray, and listen
I saw the messages—through cards, prayers, dreams, and the signs and nudges from those around me. "God speaks in mysterious ways"... It's so true.
As I lean into flowing and following these signs, I allow myself to open up to so much more.
This isn't about letting go of everything and all control. I've set my life up with enough structure that now I can allow things to flow within that structure.
There are times that are needed to build foundations and structure. And even in that, there can be a letting go of what you think it should look like. An allowing for the guidance of your inner knowing and Creator to move through you and for you, so that you can expand and serve the mission your soul was sent to Earth for.
This pivot may seem small to some, but for me, this was a huge step in letting go of forcing, like I've always done, and leaning into flowing with where Creator is guiding me.
This is my continual work. To keep stepping into flow over force, and ultimately trusting what Creator has in store for me.
Because it will be much better than what I could ever come up with.
So now I ask you...
Where are you continuing to force things in your life?
Where are you drowning out that inner knowing, that inner voice that keeps saying "this isn't it" or "there's another way"?
Where can you allow yourself to flow instead of force?
This isn't always a simple question, but it can be profound what you discover.
I will tell you now that the stories we tell ourselves of "But I have to do this, or else..." are strong and powerful for a reason.
They serve to protect us from the wounds of the past. The past where we had to force through because the society and family units around us were forcing us down a path that wasn't meant for us.
It was survival.
But now, you have the opportunity to get out of survival mode.
You can step into the faith and knowing that all will be provided for you if you choose to step out of forcing your way through life, and begin flowing with the path that Spirit has set before you.
This path is yours to claim if you're willing to put in the effort it will take to pivot, the time it will take to listen, and the investment in yourself it will take to clear the noise and finally be able to hear what Spirit has been trying to tell you all along.
The Container for Deep Listening
This is the point of the solo fast program I'm preparing myself for.
I want to provide a safe space for you to do the work it will take to peel back the layers and look within. To connect with your inner knowing and clear out all the noise—physical, emotional, and mental—that has been blocking you from hearing.
It's 3 weeks of preparation leading into a camping weekend with a 24-hour solo fast, where you'll face that fear of sitting with yourself and finally start to hear the messages that were meant for you.
Sit long enough in solitude, surrounded by the mother of us all, Nature, and you will hear something. You will begin to feel and understand what it means to be led by Spirit and to follow your own inner compass in this life.
If you're feeling the call for this, then I invite you to apply below and sign up for a 30-minute discovery call with me where we'll see if this is the right fit for you.
