A Daily Om foward:


Let Yourself Be Carried
The Flow
Of The Universe

The flow of the universe moves through everything. It's in the
rocks that form, get pounded into dust, and are blown away. It is the blossoming
of a flower born from a seed planted in the spring. The growth cycle that every
human being goes through is part of this natural flow. The current that takes us
down life's paths is this flow. When we move with it, rather than resisting, we
are riding on the universal current that allows us to flow with life.


Many people live their lives struggling against this current. They try
to use force or resistance to will their lives into happening the way they think
it should. Others move with this flow like a sailor using the wind, trusting
that the universe is taking them exactly where they need to be at all times.
This flow is accessible to everyone because it moves through and around us. We
are always riding this flow. It's just a matter of whether we are willing to go
with it or resist it. Choosing to go with the flow is often a matter of letting
go of the notion that we need to be in control at all times. The flow is always
taking you where you need to go. It's just a matter of deciding whether you plan
on taking the ride or having it take you there with you dragging your
feet.

Learning to step into the flow can help you feel a connection to a
force that is greater than you and is always there to support you. The decision
to go with the flow can take courage because you are surrendering the notion
that you need to do everything by yourself. Riding the flow of the universe can
be effortless, exhilarating, and not like anything you ever expected. When you
are open to being in this flow, you open yourself to possibilities that exist
beyond the grasp of your control. As a child, you were naturally swept by the
flow. Tears of sadness falling down your face could just as quickly turn to
tears of laughter. Just the tiniest wave carrying you forward off the shores of
the ocean could carry you into peals of delight. Our souls feel good when we go
with the flow of the universe. All we have to do is make the choice to ride its
currents.
