Our minds are flowing in one stream of consciousness or another constantly. When our energy is focused and we naturally are picking up signs and getting ideas. When we are in the flow, we have a rhythm and the rhythm feeds the flow.
When we have a break in the rhythm, that is when another stream flows in. Notice when this happens. What streams do we find ourselves flowing into most often?
Notice how our state of mind flows with the changes of the day. We may have not just a change of clothes, but a change of mind when we go to work out. Bringing our focus to the workout part of the day lets other parts of our mind to relax for a while. It is that relaxation of one stream of consciousness that allows new ideas or messages from spirit to flow in.
One stream of consciousness may lead us down a flow of random thoughts on which we float with memories, humor or sorrow, which may be triggered simply by an image.
Streams of consciousness are created when we are reading a book. Then every time we pick up that book to continue reading, our mind returns to that same place.
When watching a movie, we might experience the triggering another stream of thoughts. One image or scene from a movie can launch a whole different stream of consciousness branching off from the movie.
When we are engaged in a guided meditation, this same flow is in progress, where another person's words bring us to a place in our mind where our consciousness flows. Sometimes we need that other voice to take us into meditation because our minds are so busy.
When we write, it is common to fumble around at first, before a writer finds their voice. Once they find their voice they have a stream that they return to at will.
Listen to famous musicians describe how they came to create songs that became tremendously popular. They often talk about how they were just noodling around with an idea, when suddenly a wave of melody flowed and opened the way for the lyrics. They shifted into a different stream.
When I drum, finding a rhythm is all about allowing a flow that is non-verbal, yet moves mind and spirit into new streams.
When a person is recalling a past life, the stream of consciousness shifts, then rejoins other streams.
Streams of consciousness make it easy to navigate and explore all aspects of life. You can feel those transitions, can't you? Notice what methods you use to set these flows free and how it feels to ride these streams which are always moving.
Streams always find ways around obstacles which is why they are the perfect vehicles when we are trying to solve problems or find another route forward. What streams keep coming back now? Where do you feel your best flow?
I always love hearing from you, so if you feel like sending me a note, calling or coming to see me, please do!
Have a wonderful day! |
