Getting into the flow of an abundant life is a part of the natural flow of life. That means that there are times of being really busy and active, with other times of being in a restful emptiness. This flow provides for synchronicities to appear that carry our life beyond what would be expected. It's easy to fall out of your natural rhythm and flow with so much going on in the world and your basic needs need to be met through working and earning money. So how might you get back into your flow? Well, in this episode I'm sharing an old blog post that I wrote when I was travelling through Central America, and in here I'm going to offer up some prompts for you to open a question and see what arises as an answer without using your mind. So in your childhood flow.

Speaker 1: 1:53

I remember as a child I enjoyed time alone to dance around in my room to myself. I would use movement to work through my emotions. My natural movement was always very flowing. It had few jumps and spins and was more of an adage pace. I loved the sensation of a gentle flow, a lulling cocoon of freedom within stability. I would often be in trouble for walking too slowly with my family and my school reports noted my daydreaming tendencies. I would love to spend time watching the animals and nature moving at its own pace, and I could get really over excited and hyperactive and very impatient too. I loved these moods where I would spin myself almost sick with dizziness in the kitchen, but the speed was often short-lived unless I desired attention, like all kids do. A journal prompt do you recall what pace and rhythm was the flow that you enjoyed as a child? How to rediscover your pace?

In July 2016, I experienced a setback in my recovery and was retraumatised by sound. The symptoms had me lost on the tube home, wandering down streets, confused, crying endlessly in an agonising pain. I was frustrated to revisit my symptoms from two years prior with my head injury, and it ignited that determination in me to fully heal. I recognised that the longer I continued on my current path, the more occurrences would appear. Through my yoga nidra practice, I sought the answer in meditation and it told me be free through travel and teach. My gut knew this was vital, but I also recognised that this sudden change of heart in my life would impact people around me. I also had very little cash, since I'd found it very hard to save since my injury and travelling without income was probably the last of my concerns, but a very real problem. So slowly I allowed the sense of what I was seeking to take. Next. I would use the intention from my yoga teacher training to settle into my travels and find a way to make it tax deductible so that it was a bit more financially viable. I also realised that I needed more than five weeks to return to my flow, and how was I going to make my money last even longer? How would I make ends meet?

Speaker 1: 4:37

My need to control and organise my life really kicked in. I prepared plans A, b, c pretty much up to maximise the experience and really be able to come back to England with these accomplished goals and to mitigate my finances and not worry about running out. And as I researched the options, a flood of overwhelm in the choices created so much anxiety. I just could not choose and I realised that any decision would be influenced by my current situation and the growing desperation to feel free from my current cycle and situation. I realised that when I'm overwhelmed and anxious, the best decision is no decision. I would let time unravel with the events, as was meant to be. Seven years later, I still have this impatience to know an outcome, to not have to wait for things to run their course, and I want to plan for all options. The insight is that it is my impatience that leads me to want to decide and that I'm not in the flow of allowing abundance when I'm impatient. And it's in these moments that I'm letting fear pervade into my present. I'm not simply allowing the current flow Journal Pumped. Do you jump into action to make it an exit plan without making space for rest, reset and magic, a pause for your soul?

As I travelled in Costa Rica, I felt the anxiety of money and so I decided to head to Nicaragua as my destination. After my training had completed. I had put some feelers out but refused to decide until I found clarity. Did I want to work in a yoga studio? A horse farm, a surf house, volunteer for permaculture? I didn't know my intention to fully heal through travel with work had been really challenging to visualise. I felt anxious that I could not see my dreams and future. To make this journey fulfilling, I agreed to stay a night with Grace in her gracious living oasis home style retreat centre near Chinendega in the north of Nicaragua.

Speaker 1: 7:07

It was a long way for me to travel and the work commitment was vague, outside of potentially teaching yoga. I wasn't sure how much rest I still needed, since I was really eager to get back into the mode of working in a healing environment. Apprehensive. I arrived unsure. She asked me to teach a yoga class to the staff and within 24 hours, grace had asked me to stay for another three weeks. I grounded and settled. The days were busy outside of teaching yoga. There was a lot to manage as her team, but within five days of settling I felt a joyous emotion of nurture, fared, nutritious meals all day long, supported when I felt tired to meditate and have time alone, and encouraged to join the activities offered to guests. I felt truly blessed to have been given this space to work and heal simultaneously.

Speaker 1: 8:00

Journal pumped your soul is calling you. Have you made space to listen to it, merging your inner rhythms? Another job appeared to teach. Now, down in Costa Rica, I have another few months of work in retreat centres, and this focused on a full person's return to health. I could not have visualised a more perfect scenario for my journey to truly heal. My anxiety about not being able to visualise the future fell away. I understood that my larger goal was being met when I trusted that my heart, combined with my gut instinct, would lead me to the right decision, made for the most perfect experience, at ease with the experiences presented themselves. And it took me no effort. In fact, every place was purely fun and joyous. To find your flow requires listening to the heart, gut and mind. When you take the idea, connect it with the heart's desire and allow the courage of the gut to move you forward. It provides for synchronicities and magic to arise in your life, and this is how you find flow. Journal prompt when you set an intention, where does it rise? From within you the heart, the mind or the gut. Note the difference in how it feels, depending on where the intention arises from within you, bringing in Abundance.

Throughout this period, there were many conversations around the furnace of exchange for paid retreat teachers and volunteer exchange placements. Each retreat centre offered their perspective on the value of the exchange that you brought to their business and how they would cost your accommodation, food and transfers for their business. My approach was not to search for a numeric value of payer exchange, but to pursue my highest good to be of service to all that I would meet and to heal myself. My initial expectation had been a very low quality experience of rice and beans and maybe a hammock to sleep in when I would teach yoga every day. And apparently my soul was not interested in this. As I set boundaries for a clear yes or a clear no to what physical environment I wanted to be in and what hours I wanted to work, the type of clients that I wished to support, the universe served me with a much greater abundance than I could have sought. To some, my exchange undermined proper pay, but to me, I lived abundantly. I had hours to read, practice and meditate and play, and whilst enjoying fine food, great company and places to tour with the clients, I felt more abundant than I could have ever dreamed.

Speaker 1: 11:06

Your abundance arrives when asserting clear boundaries, even through lots of no, with clarity of what lights you up and how you direct your energy and flow. Abundance rolls to you in waves, but not always how you expected it. Journal prompt when have you been clear with what you want and received abundantly for asserting your heart felt desires, boundaries. So how can you go and find your abundant flow? Number one recognise if you're going around in circles. Number two get quiet and see what presents itself to you as the answer and don't be afraid to go big. Number three if nothing seems right, don't do any of it. Leave and wait. Number four be open to things that may initially seem against your usual choices. Five be generous with your energy and gifts. You are here to share your life. Number six be effortless. There is no price to pay for happiness. You deserve it. It should just fall into your lap. Trust your pure heart's truth. Your gut may be full of fear and your mind can be busy with judgement, but your heart always knows the balanced path.
