How to flow vs push working with the universe

Flowing with the Universe will change your life...

In the West, we are taught that winning is almost everything. At a young age, we are expected to do good in school, sports. How well we do, how popular we are, defines who we are and our self-worth. As we grow older, we are taught to attend University, or to get a job. We are rewarded for pushing our way to the top. In an effort to get to the top, to do good, we try to control our environment and make things happen, the way we think they should happen.

You see this in the Spiritual world as well. Many, for example, feel they need to play the system, to get the likes so their channel will grow. You hear you need to do this, or you need to do that, to become a better, more enlightened individual. So, you do this, or you do that. You work on manifesting your perfect partner, your perfect job, your perfect life. You are put in the driver’s seat attempting to manage/or control your reality.

This method of life, which most of us are trained on from birth, can be exhausting. With the quickly changing world we live in, these beliefs are coming into question by more people.

So, take a deep breath, all the way in to your lower belly and blow it out and relax.

There is a different way.

You can flow with the Universe.

I understand that flow may sound a bit airy. What does that mean exactly? I’m referring to working with the Universe, listening to the Universe.

Let’s start with an example of pushing, or not working with the Universe.

Let’s say you are vying for a promotion. You do everything you can think of to get the promotion. But, it is given instead to a colleague of yours. You are understandably upset. But, you decide that you just need to work harder, and then you will land the next promotion. So, now instead of working 50 hours a week in your job, you are working 60 hours a week. You have networked with all the decision makers in the company and figure that your promotion will be a done deal, but it isn’t. Now you are really upset. You talk to your boss, who tells you the other person was more qualified, and you talk to a few others in the company who tell you the same. You know this isn’t true, but you don’t have much recourse. So, you keep on working harder until you eventually burn out and are admitted to the hospital with chest pains. In the hospital, you are told you need to rest. But you can’t rest, or take a month off to recuperate. You need to get back to work so that you can make a good impression. It is what is expected, so that is what you do. After only a few days of recuperating, you go back to work. Only two weeks back at work and you are shocked, along with most of the employees and the stock holders, to get news that the company you work for has gone bankrupt, and you no longer have employment, nor any severance pay.

In this example, we can see how this is pushing towards what you want. The not getting the promotion the first time, could have been a gentle nudge towards another path, or another company. The Universe may have been helping you to see that perhaps this was not the right company or job path for you. As you can see, the messages got stronger, until you had no other choice but to find a new job or path.

Okay, that is just an example of course and simplistic. But it illustrates the point. I can attest myself to, in my past, receiving nudges from the Universe, which I did not understand, until I could not ignore them.

The difference between pushing and flowing is that when you push you are making it happen, and when you flow, you are in harmony with what is happening. In the example above, the first time the promotion did not go through, or even before, if one had been in connection with listening to the Universe/ their higher self, one may at that point have noticed that the job position they held was not right for them, and something more aligned to their being was out there waiting.

To flow it helps to have a practice to clear and ground you, so that you can be connected to your higher knowing, or as I like to say, so you can talk to the Universe.

A daily practice doesn’t have to be long or elaborate. Frankly, if it is, there is a good chance most people won’t do it. Keep it simple, as the saying goes.

I would suggest:

- Grounding/Earthing when you wake up and as needed throughout the day. https://www.sara-estey.com/post/how-earthing-can-change-your-life

- Meditation or just checking in with your breath when you wake up and as you ground. Be sure to breathe all the way into your lower belly as you connect. https://www.sara-estey.com/guided-meditations

- Protect your aura daily so that energy that is not yours does not filter in. https://www.sara-estey.com/post/protecting-your-energy-field

- Connect to your higher heart and send and receive love from the Universe.

This can be Metta/loving kindness practice or something such as this short meditation I recorded. https://soundcloud.com/user-56944463-623995338/heart-connecting-meditation/s-Zyv7cAyri0v

The above will help transform you, and clear your mind, so you can hear what the Universe is saying. Or, tap into what your higher self tells you is a good practice.

What does it mean to ‘talk to the Universe’?

It means listening to a higher guidance. You can hear this through how you feel in your heart about something. It can also come in the way of ‘gut’ instinct. But to feel and recognize this, we need to be in touch with our bodies. We also need to be able to hear what our higher self, our solar star(Alpha) and our earth star(Omega) have to say. Be open to hearing what the Universe has to tell us.

We are all energetic beings and are connected to all. So, if you look at it even from a scientific level, it makes sense to tap into Universal knowing and love for guiding your life. When we just tap into our knowings, complete with the programming we have from just this life alone, our options can seem limited. What is available is limited. Just turn on any news channel and you will feel it is the end of days, very warlike and destructive; but if you make ‘x’ amount of money and buy all this ‘stuff’ you will be happy. That is a very limited view, and not a love based view of the world.

Tapping into the Universe, all things are possible, and love is unconditional and the world is abundant. This is a much different frequency than the one we are conditioned to live in.

In addition to the daily tools I listed above, you can do several things to clear your stuck energy and baggage to tap in to the Universe and flow. Theta to release subconscious beliefs is good. Feeling work, to release the stuck feelings (stories) from your body, and DNA light activation to release all attachments and raise your vibration. I can help you with these, if you desire. My work is to help empower you to move forward, on your path, with tools you can continue to use, as your baggage releases and your vibration rises. Other methods are also available. Tap into what you are called to. Listen to your inner guidance as you move into flow with the Universe.

Much love and light,
