Guidance & Reflection – Week 116

WEEK 116

God, what is your guidance for me today?

Go with the flow of divine guidance…

not just the effort of your own will.

Let your consciousness be open and expanded,

much like peripheral vision. Be in the world

while remembering your divinity.

Allow yourself to be sensitive to The

Presence, which guides and is 

full of wisdom and grace.

To do this is a great spiritual skill.

It is not easy at first but

yields much fruit as one commits

to staying connected to the divine

realm moment by moment.

Your effort mixes with the grace of

divine flow and life becomes more

graceful and beautifully lived.

You become a more powerful being in service

of Divinity… of Divine Will… of Love;

and the energy of your intimate connection

is carried into all of your affairs.

Today, use flow…

and enjoy moving in the graces

that fill it.

Watch what happens.

Evening Reflection 

To go with the flow is actually an exercise in letting go. It is telling the ego to lay low in favor of another master.

There are spiritual mystics who describe reaching levels of divine oneness whereby their consciousness is almost entirely in the divine realm, and their body runs on automatic, knowing what to do and say. Much of our body is already on automatic – from our heartbeat to breathing; even our brains are chatterboxes. We can drive somewhere and upon arrival wonder how we got to our destination, realizing we had somehow zoned out as our body knew how to drive without our full attention!

Going with the flow is about expanding our consciousness to include divine guidance as we live our day. The more we practice this skill the better we become at it. The temptation is to become so hooked into the world that we lose track of our divine side. This is a good reason to wear a symbolic, spiritual piece of jewelry or to have something concrete and visible that reminds us to remember who we really are.

I was able to stay expanded off and on today for a few hours at a time. But the demands of the day did hook me often enough. Fortunately, I wore a bracelet that reminded me to reconnect.

How was this for you?
