A Simple Step to Embody Flow: Don't Lose Yourself

In the medicine of flow, there is a continual interplay between your inner state and external activities in your daily life. Similar to patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time, this interplay is a continual practice to do two things at once: awaken to and deepen your awareness of a oneness state, while simultaneously engaging in life. It could be washing the dishes, going to a doctor's appointment, taking medications and supplements, or taking a walk. This oneness state can shift your brain- and heartwaves so your whole body comes into flow. And flow is peak healing.

To cultivate this state, you can begin by reflecting on this question: What is the relationship between this inner state of oneness and the relative dimension of life, which expresses in polarities like light and dark, fast and slow, up and down, you and me? How are we both the whole and an individual?

I invite you to watch this 2-minute video, twice. The first time, focus on one singer from start to finish. The second time, observe the whole choir as one organism.

When one singer harmonizes herself, can you appreciate her effect on the whole? Alternatively, can you appreciate the harmony of the whole to support each individual singer to come into and maintain her own harmony?

While toggling between individual and the whole is a wonderful exercise, it occurs at the physical dimension of life. Try closing your eyes to allow the physical forms to dissolve. Can you experience a unified song? Can you experience yourself as energy vibrating and merging with their vibrations? Going deeper yet, can you recognize how all of their vibrations arise from silence — a singular silence that pervades the universe?

This inner state of oneness is unbound by time and space. And it is the catalyst for embodied flow and peak healing.

Enjoy playing with this in all aspects of your healing journey!
