#441 Booster Show! Take The Crazy Out (Total Destress)

Flow Dreaming.

It's a show where we talk about the power of your mind to change your world around you, to literally affect the fabric of your reality. We talk about this feeling of hope and joy and relief. And that is what being aware of your flow does.

It gives you a feeling of power.

Again in your lives.

Oh, my God. You were so on target. You are so amazing. I can't thank you enough. Breathe.

It is the feeling that you bring forward. It is your emotional connection that really.

Sets the tone for what is going to be happening to you and for you. And you know that feeling, when you.

Touch it, it just spreads through you.

Thank you for taking my call. I don't know why I feel like crying. I think I just feel your love.

Of course.

And I think I'm gonna get some ANSWERS.

I'm Summer McStravik and welcome to another.

Episode of Flow Dreaming. Welcome to Flow Dreaming. And oh, boy, do we need some Flow Dreaming this month. I know the holidays often starts to make us feel a little bit scrambled. So we're going to descramble, relax, chill, get into a state of alignment, into a state of flow, into a state where the end of the year should wrap up the way. Well, really the way a year should wrap up, which is with a sense of peace and closure. Now, it's funny, you know, in our Western society here in the United States, for sure, we tend to try to wrap up our years with an escalating sense of frenzy. And I don't think it was always that way. I think this is something that's new. And we've put all these practices together with gift buying and parties and New Year's and so on that have really.

Magnified it over time.

But traditionally, the dead of winter is a quiet time. It's a time for reflection, a time for releasing, a time for digesting all those things that happen to you during the year so that when you re emerge in the spring, you're fresh, you're ready. So let's look at things like, from that perspective today as we flow dream that we're going to step out of the crazy for a little bit. We're going to step out of this escalation. And yes, I know we all still have to get our stuff done and be at all of our family events and get all those presents together, etc. Etc. But let's do it with a little more balance and ease today. So the show Flow Dreaming. Welcome, welcome. If you are new to this, a lot of you guys have found this, thankfully, by using the app. You can find the app at Google Store and any place your Android can play it, certainly your iPhones, it's at itunes. And many of you have also found this through the podcast. The podcast is easily searchable through itunes or you can go to my website@flowdreaming.com and those are both great resources for you to find out about past episodes. You know, there are episodes going back to 2009. One every week, 400 maybe, maybe more now. Gosh, it just keeps adding up, and I forget to add them up. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours are there for you. Some of them are located in the premium archives. You can find out information about that less than the price of a latte. You can get all those premium archives available. So my big thanks goes out to all of you who came in through that and thank you who continue to rate it and subscribe to it, because that always really, really, really helps the program. We talk about your mind in this show. Consciousness, your ability to manifest and create, your ability to read information, to absorb, take in another layer of information from the flow. So imagine for a minute here, that flow is a vast sea, right? And the sea isn't an ocean that's separate from anything else. It's an ocean that flows through everything. So if you look around you right now, just pretend there is a net, a flow of ongoing, connected energy moving through everything you see, connecting it to each other. Even the air is a medium of connection. Think of it as like a liquid, perhaps, and there's information passing through it, passing around. I'm looking outside at my beautiful pine tree. It's filled with flow energy. It's moving back and forth, exchanging molecules all the time, exchanging with the air around it. Everything. A living, breathing web. It's not just physical things. You are part of this web. Your mind, your thoughts, your emotions all contribute to this ongoing flush of information that flows and flows and moves. And this information, it's not just sitting here frozen, frozen in time. A snapshot. Now, time is moving us forward. So this flow, this information, is constantly moving forward. You are moving forward. You're flowing. You're literally flowing forward through time and space right now. And as you flow, you are in every second being built, you're growing. You have a whole snapshot of experiences in every second that you go through that gets added into you. Imagine, you know, remember those old Polaroids? You could take those instant pictures and those cameras. Imagine those old Polaroids and you're taking one of them every second, and they're just stacking up and building up around you everything that you experienced in every moment, cataloged, recorded. And what's happening is you're becoming a reflective kind of being because what you are is also being exchanged into the flow. Flow is responding to you as you move into the future. What do you think it is that that your future is referring to? Responding to you as you are. This is why, as a principle of manifesting, changing who you are right now is the key. Manifesting is not about reaching forward and pushing and molding things way off. It's not about, you know, making ourself into a magnet of, you know, happy, abundance and joy. You could do that. But I always tell my students, don't do things that are temporary. Don't do things you have to work at, remember to do constantly. Why don't you just change who you are fundamentally, day by day, increment by increment, so you don't have to remember any of that stuff. Why don't you just change who you are? So automatically as you walk forward into your future, your future is responding to what you want it to be like. And the way we do that in flow dreaming is through our emotional selves, our emotional energetic templates. So the person I am today as I walk forward into my future, I'm not expecting, lack. I'm not anticipating with every breath, every movement that I'm not going to get my needs met. I'm anticipating I will get my needs met. And I'm surprised when I don't. I reversed the roles that society has really indoctrinated most of us with, which is be wary, be cautious, be prepared, brace, always plan under what you think you're going to get or become. And that's why many people live lives exactly like that, under what they think they can get or become. Bracing for the next shoe to drop, ready to go to battle, ready to defend themselves. So to bring it back to our topic today, ready for the stress that's going to be thrown on us, ready to do battle as we go out and shop, ready to even go to the grocery store where we're gonna have to find a place to park. And there's gonna be people who are just grunchy, grouchy, right? All the stuff that drops into our head moment by moment. When you move into flow, you are consciously moving into a state of recreating yourself the way you want to be. Not the way society is, is. Is telling you to be. Not the way you think you should be. No, the way you want to be. And you Want to be at peace. You want to know your needs will be met. You want to know that all of your future exchanges and conversations you have with people will be really productive. They don't even have to be peaceful necessarily. You can have an exciting conversation, but it's productive. You can have a conversation that's difficult, but it's productive. And it makes you feel like, yes, we did something, we solved something, we got. Oh, yes, right. Isn't that a wonderful feeling? I love that sense. Yes, I was productive. That really helped. We figured that out. We moved through that. Now what? Now think forward into your life. What a beautiful feeling would be to have that every day, in almost every situation, everyone, instead of what we often allow, instead, which is, I'm stuck. This thing is at a standstill. Nothing is happening. We're not going anyplace. Nobody will cooperate with me. I'm not getting what I need. The people aren't coming to me that I need to come to me. I'm not getting the help or direction I need. I'm not getting the cash flow I need. I'm not getting the. The love and companionship I need. There's a whole other way to live. And it starts in your flow. In your flow. It's very easy. It's the ultimate manifesting tool. It's the ultimate tool for intuition. Because the way you are, as you move into your future, when you move into the future, once you open up your intuitive self, you start to realize, hey, I can actually read all that information that's out there around me. I can read it too. I mean, it's not just me moving through an ocean, but there's a part of me that can open up like a, you know, think I'm done. I don't know why I'm thinking of those space movies right now, you know, where they always. They open up the little parachute into the sun, and it absorbs all the sun and makes it into energy for the spacecraft. Right? Sometimes that's how I feel I am. I open my intuition like a. Like that parachute ballooning outward to capture the sun's rays, turn them into power. I'm opening my intuitive parachute. I'm receiving information from flow now. I'm receiving information from everything happening around me. And I'm asking questions like, hey, is this the right thing? Should I do this? Should I try this? Is this person good for me? Are they telling me the truth? Should I give this person my trust or my faith? Should I work with this person? Should I love this person? Should I allow Myself to be loved by this person. Should I try to become friends here? Should I try to impress this person? Or should I just relax about it, not do anything? I'm always asking, hey, flow, give me the extra information that's built in, that's inherent in everything around me. This is really a critical piece. It's not just the physical things. Remember I said your emotions, your feelings. Think of a conversation you had a week ago, it could be a couple days ago. Think of a conversation that's still sticking in your head, still there, right? It happened, it existed. Even though it's technically gone, it's not captured. You didn't screw it into a little bottle and you know, close the lid. That was my convers in there. It still occurred. It changed things. It changed the very fabric of you. You took that information in, the other person did too. And you've probably made different choices or choices based on that information, based on that knowledge. That's a very real thing. You bet. That information is still hanging around out there, active and potent. Well now think about reading that intuitively. You can go out and read that conversation. You can read a conversation from two months ago, two years ago. And why not try reading a conversation that's about to happen, that's most likely to happen. That's what's called reading the future. And the other thing that was called reading the past and reading the present is extraordinarily easy because it's happening right now, it's right next to you, it's in someone else's head, or perhaps it's in a non physical form of some type as a, as a person, a loved one. This is a glimpse of how I use flow and flow energy, kind of giving you a little backdrop from what we're going to do today, which is to just relax, release. You don't have to be caught up, you don't have to be caught up in the energy around you. And now that I've explained a little bit of what that energy is giving you some context. Notice during different seasons of our year, the collective energy changes around us. When you have a million people feeling frenzied, pressured, rushed. When you have a million people who are suddenly having to take money out of their bank accounts to buy gifts they don't necessarily even want to buy, they're feeling the pressure to do so. That financial anxiety is escalating all around you, even the stores. You walk into a store and it's feeling a pressure. I've got to make my sales quota today. We've got to pay our employees, we've got to sell X number of units of, you know, this widget or that. Everywhere you go there's increased pressure. It's like, it's like barometric pressure, right? We don't really have that in California. Everybody in California doesn't know what I'm talking about. But if you live where it rains, where there's snow, you watch the drops in pressure like a hawk. Say, ah, big storms are coming. There's a kind of flow pressure out there as well and we get swept in it. So that's the first thing I want you to think about as you start to relax today and unwind from this. A lot of this pressure, it's not you. It's not you. It's not your pressure. You're in a pool, a sea of pressure. The pressure is around you, but it's not you. You just maybe got a little confused because you've been wading through it. You've been, you've been swimming through it, going to work, getting on the, getting in the traffic and you know, picking up your groceries. It's around you and it's getting tighter and denser and squeezing more, but it's not you. So take a deep breath with me and release it. As we breathe, our body is taking in not just oxygen, it's taking in energy flow. Oxygen is energy. Everything is energy. Everything is flowing. You're interacting with the energy around you, the emotional energy around you as well. Think about that. I'm fortunate right now. I'm sitting in an office by myself, but often I'm looking at email. Every time I look at an email, I'm taking in someone else's emotional energy. It's being transferred to me. Phone call, same way. I'm not isolated from it. Maybe you're sitting in a place right now where there are people around you. Notice their emotional energy. Everyone pretend every person is sitting in a funnel of light. And that light has all different colors. Some people's lights very, you know, constricted and kind of murky. Some people's light feels very clear, bright, transparent. It's all over. A lot of them have pressure. Is that your pressure? No, it's theirs. Doesn't belong to you. You have nothing to do with it. Remember that breath you just took? Take another. And as you do feel your pressure begin to fall. Like that screen of light, that halo of light surrounding you. Ah, anything in it that feels heavy, confused, resistant, any part of it that feels compressed, squeezed or the opposite, that feels braced on guard, it drops around you, drops in a circle around you, around your body, down to the floor, reabsorbed into the flow beneath you, the earth beneath you, grounding solid energy. Now here you are. What are you? You're back to yourself. You're back to yourself. You're not unshielded, you're not vulnerable. You're back to your own internal, perfect, beautiful set point. And that set point of who you are, that relaxed being of who you are, it's like having skin on your body, right? Your skin does a marvelous job. How could something so seemingly soft and fragile do such a good job protecting us? It's kind of a marvel, right? We're not covered with scales or armor. Our skin is, it seems like, how does it prevent the world from getting into me? How does it keep my insides from spilling out? Yet it does. Keeps bacteria away, keeps loads of things away. Well, that's how your own internal energy is as well. It keeps everything at bay that needs to be kept at bay. It's perfect just as it is. It has an internal equilibrium, a set point. That's what you're feeling inside yourself right now. There's no need to send out any extra. You just write. As you go through your day, you're noticing people around you and you're noticing how they're feeling very in alignment with their flow or out of alignment with their flow. And you can tell the difference. You can sense it instantly. It's more than mood, it's more than personality. You know that there's an awareness. Either they are forgetting that they're part of something bigger and they've allowed all these other people's feelings of pressure to kind of invade their own or their own. They're already in their own internal set point and they're gliding through and they're laughing and they're happy and you want to engage with them. You just want to give them a hug. You want to share your energy with them. That's what giving a hug is. It's an energy exchange. I want our energies to touch and commingle because I like you. Ever think about somebody you don't want to hug? Right. It's not the physical act of touching. You're just being careful about who you're co mingling your energy with. You don't want to pick up their energy. Or maybe you do if you love that person, if you like that person. So this sets the framework for today's show as we continue to de stress ever deeper, deeper and deeper layers. I'd love to take your Calls today. Just so you know, we're having a little difficulty with the phone system, so I'll get as many calls in as I can. But if you don't get through, that's what's going on. You can always go to my website, flow dreaming.com and you'll find out when I air my show live, as well as the correct phone number to call during those hours. And one thing before we go to a quick break, I wanted to let you know that the MI School of Flow is now enrolling. The spring session has just opened and we are bringing students in now. The last time I opened it in the fall, it sold out. I opened more slots, those sold out.

We're going to go to a break and we'll be back right after this. Hi.

It's summer, but on break. And I know that summer some of you are still wondering what is Flow Dreaming and what is MI School?

Because I refer to both of these.

Quite a bit in my podcast. Me School is a transformational program. It's a gorgeous and deeply revealing, empowering online school worldwide where I teach you how to remodel your life in any way you choose. You using the technique of Flow Dreaming as well as a bunch of other deeply powerful life changing processes. So ME School is either enrolling or it's accepting names onto the wait list. And that means that I'm accepting students who work with me for the year and you can learn how to do.

What I do in life, the way.

I think, the way I build things, make things, heal things. Everything I talk about you will learn directly from me how to do. You're going to create some amazing things. My MI schoolers, their lives change way beyond the norm.

And you don't even have to be.

A superstar when you go in. Some of you are, and you're ready to go bigger, play in that bigger field. And some of you are just saying, hey, help.

What's next? Where should I go?

And both are fine. Both are great if you're ready to go big. But you know that you need to deepen your own spiritual practice and your personal growth, because that's where it all comes from, Right? Then this is where you need to be. Your life only grows as big as you do. So here's what to do. Go over to flowdreaming.com and click on MI School. And during these enrollment periods, you can actually set up a free phone call with me or my staff and we'll talk about it.

Is it a fit? Is it interesting?

During wait list times, we just put you on a list of people who've expressed interest. So we can notify you as soon as the doors open.

All right. I look forward to hearing from you.

And even more to getting to know you as one of my personal students in me school. Now let's get back to the episode.

Foreign. Welcome to Flow Dreaming. Welcome back. That is. Let's see, I do have some calls here. Lisa, you're calling from Connecticut. How are you today? Hello. Hi.

Thanks for having me. One thing I would like to make sure I don't take into the next year is whatever's holding me back in my animal massage business. I do animal massage and Reiki and I've been playing with Flow Dreaming with animals and really love to do your me school in a couple years. And to do that, I need to get some more clients. And I seem to stall when it comes time to doing the things that I need to do.

So, you know, the things you need to do already or just not able to get yourself out there to do them.

Yeah, I have a list.

Are you checking it twice?

And I have your mind Valley course. And interesting clue is when I go to listen to, like the procrastination one, and then I feel this little bit of fear that says, oh, I might listen to this. I might actually do the thing. And so there's definitely some kind of block.

Yeah. So you're already kind of digging deeper, which is what I like to do because, you know, people come to manifesting, think that they can just think what they want, and boom, it's going to happen. And it's funny. It's like, well, sometimes it does. But if you're not able to grasp it, hold onto it. It won't stay with you. And other people, they say, I want something, but then they realize I'm actually really afraid to get that or I want it, but I have all this other stuff that I'm also feeling at the same time that's in conflict with it. And that's what you're doing. You're seeking out the energy, the feelings inside yourself that are in conflict with this other feeling. So your one feeling is, I want to be very successful with my animal massage and Reiki. I want to help, you know, creatures of all kinds through this energetic means and physical. Yet when I feel myself going out and approaching those owners, I get nervous, I get scared, I get fearful that they'll reject me, that they'll say no, that they'll say I'm too expensive, that they'll say their animals are not worth it. Like, you can. You could. You could write up a list in front of you right now. It'd be actually a good thing to do. All the things that come up in you, the emotions that say no, and, you know, put down the ones that are even weird, you're like, I can't believe I feel that. But I feel that it's okay. Like, no censoring. So you get to see this other part of yourself that is doing the procrastinating. Because procrastinating on the surface is. You can't. It's not like you can just say, stop procrastinating. Boom, okay, I'm done. Right? That's. If it were that easy, no one would really procrastinate. It's because you have these heavier emotions that are tugging you in the opposite direction. And the lighter emotion of your growth and your work is trying to pull you into the future. You see? So the heavier ones are winning right now. They're like the heavier rock inside of you. Okay, so, Lisa, do something with me. Close your eyes. Just relax and take a deep breath. Allow yourself to feel a little bit of flow, a little bit of energy moving forward. You're in Connecticut. You know what ice skating is? Mm. Pretend you can ice skate. Pretend you are marvelous at it, and you're just flowing and you're on endless ice. This lake has no end. It's a field of energy through the sky, and you just move, move, gliding effortlessly forward. Just kind of that rocking feeling of speed and direction. You don't need to know where you're going. The. The way will form in front of you. Your flow, your direction, your greater self will Give it to you. And you're looking at the palms of your hands, through which all of your healing comes. Reiki comes through here. Your massage comes through here. You can feel your hands filling with energy, filling with this light. And you know who should be receiving this? You know all the little creatures that you come in contact with, they should be receiving this. Yet you notice something inside of you, something that starts to slow you down a little bit. What is that? What's that feeling? What's the fear? Because you notice it's tied to a fear. I fear that. And you fill in the emotion. You fill in the name of the fear, the thing that you fear. And after a while, you realize you could fill in a lot of things, but those are just the surface fears. There's some underneath those, deeper. The root. The root is something more like, I fear I won't be good enough. I fear that I won't be able to support myself. I fear that nobody will want me. What are those fears? Because those fears are energy. And you're manifesting those fears. And you can almost look outward with your eyes closed. It's like seeing through the light, through the energy, you can see how those fears hold you back in the form of procrastination. Something is stopping you. An invisible hand. And now you know that you can decide what to do with it. How will I change that? Will I go into it? Will I encounter it? Will I engage with these fears? Or will I do like a lot of people do and just turn my attention to something else, something that's easier in my life, where I don't have to look at stuff like that? Just go get a regular job, Something that's maybe on the surface miserable, but doesn't provoke me to go deep. And that's the last thing you do. You make that choice inside you, in your heart, your feelings. Am I willing to engage with these and get the payoff that that will ultimately bring that big, beautiful career? Healing and helping. My name everywhere. People referring me friend to friend to friend. You must have her over. You must allow her to do this. You must do distant healing you must do. You can see how exciting that would be. Or do you say, nope, I'm not going to do that. I'm not ready. And give your decision to flow now. Give it fully and completely to your flow. If it's a yes, say yes, I'm ready for this. Take me on. Take me to the next place. Take me to the next point of my learning. And now open your eyes. Still there? Yeah. So I Kind of assumed you were going with the. Yes, yes. I was sort of giving you the option, but you could tell there wasn't much option in that option. Okay, see, so that is the point where you need to go next.

Okay.

Right. You're already on the path to know what that is. But once you move through that energy, that's like the holdup that will. That's what's blocking your manifesting. After you get through that, then, yeah, you can use any of those flow dreams, the ones that say, bring tons of customers and clients to me and they'll come because there's nothing now repelling them.

And when you say engage the fears, is there active work to be done there, or is it.

Yeah, boy, I know you said you want to do me school in a couple years, but that's what we do in MI school. We engage, we bring flow in, and we say, look, I'm ready for this now. Look, I'm ready for this now. Look, I'm ready for this now. In fact, you could just say that sentence to yourself, you know, write it down and tape it up on your wall or make it the screensaver on your phone. Yes, I'm ready for this now. And it's a constant reminder that instead of retreating and going small, every time something that makes you nervous pops up, you go, okay, I'm ready for this. Because the way a flow dreamer thinks, the way a manifester thinks is anytime something comes up for me in my life, I'm ready for it. I don't have to spend time getting ready. I'm ready. If it came to me, I'm ready. The work was already done in the past getting me ready. See what I'm saying? You're ready to do this now. It's just a matter of consciously reminding yourself and go into your flow, flow dream. I'm so ready for this. So ready. All right, Lisa, thanks. Gives you a lot of direction. You can pull that apart. Take care. Thanks for today. I wish you so much luck with this. You could have a beautiful career in it, by the way. Thank you.

I'm having some real luck with the flow dreaming for animals, too. Some amazing things.

Oh, good, you're reminding me. I actually have a wonderful client who she had a goldfish for 20 some years. It was remarkable. And she would get that fish Reiki healings twice a week, distance healings twice a week. Because that was an old goldfish. And she was like, you're not going to leave me now.

Well, I just had a client, and sometimes I get these Little messages. Two months ago, I went and got one for a dog that said, this is this dog's last year. And I didn't know what to do with that. And the dog actually died four days later. And then I got it again a couple weeks ago, but this time I knew how to flow dream. I said, I'm not going to stand for that. And so we. I flowed. And I imagined us meeting happily three years from now and being all excited about it, and. And they found cancer the next week, but they got it in time and.

They got it all.

So.

So look, you. You are proving to yourself you're good at this. You need to be doing this, you know, for the world, for all of these pets. You've got to get over yourself. Yeah, right. And listen to that podcast, too. I did it a couple weeks ago. It's called Get Over Yourself. It's kind of a funny way. Oh, good. Yeah. Get over yourself. Okay. All right, go spread. Go spread your light. Bye, Lisa. Take care. Bye now. All right, we're going to go ahead and go to another quick break, and that's going to allow me to bring some more callers on, because, like I said, we're having a funky phone day. So go ahead and give me a call if you'd like to have me work with you here, give you some advice, direction, do some flow dreaming, do some intuitive work. I use the flow in many different ways, so again, you can find that number by going to the website flow dreaming.com, look up radio podcasts, and that's it. So stick with me. We're going to be doing a flow dream, too. And if I have time, I'm going to give you some more techniques for releasing stress. We got to do that fun one right at the beginning. I hope you're already feeling different, by the way. I am. So we'll be back in just a moment.

Welcome back to Flow Dreaming. Are we starting to feel good? Starting to feel relaxed? Making a commitment to ourselves to let this year unwind for us the old fashioned way, which is to allow things to slow down, not escalate, to allow things to sink in, to allow ourselves time for reflection. Even if it means that you become your own oasis and the world is swirling around you, let it happen. Being in Flow means that your life is moving along the best possible path in every possible moment. It means that whenever you bump up against resistance or stress, you instantly let it go. You allow it to wash away, recognizing you don't need it, doesn't need to be there. It's by choice. Everything you've created, the deadlines, the responsibilities, at some point along the way, you said yes to them. You. You said yes. These are not things out of your control. You said yes. Yes, I'll go to school and I'll realize I have exams I'll have to take. Yes, I'll take this job and the pressure and the deadlines that it gives me. Yes, I said I would go and have that family dinner, getting everything ready for it by then. Yes, I said I'd have these kids and I'd help and support them through all of their pressures and stresses and messes. Yes, I stood up and volunteered. Even the things that sometimes feel out of your control, the Illness that comes on, the trouble that someone else is having in their life, that you care and you worry about that person, you're still saying yes to dealing with it. Yes to loving them, yes to caring for yourself. You say yes all the time. So it's a matter of becoming very clear and conscious what you've said yes to and the burdens that you're allowing it to bring with that. Yes. Think for a moment. Is it possible to decrease the burden of the yes? You said yes, but you didn't say yes to whatever may bring. Keep saying yes as you go into it. Yes, I said okay to this. But you know what? It could be easier. Yeah, this could be more in alignment. Yeah, this could be more in flow. You know, we could do it this way instead of that way. Yeah. Ah, do you see this line of thinking already your shoulders are dropping down, they're relaxing. You're relaxing. Ah, yes. Everything in my life is percolating along the way. It should. Even situations that right now may look unresolvable, that I just can't figure out. Even those. Yes, they're coming along. They're resolving. They're resolving behind the scenes right now. I can't see the resolving yet. It's perhaps still happening energetically. It's being put together, formed. My future is going to happen, and it's going to be mixed in with a bunch of other people's futures too. Because that's what we do here when we live. We mix our energies up with other energies, our flows with other people's flows. Like a bunch of tiny little streams merging together, sharing an experience for a while and then departing ways. So do you still have stress? Ask yourself. Feel it. What's the level check in what I've been doing here through the program. By the way, in case you ever thought to wonder, does she have a plan for this? Sometimes I don't. But today we walk through a first technique, right? Which is the one where you become aware of the pressure around you, the stress of other people, and then you become aware of your own stress and pressure, and you're able to drop your own and come back into equilibrium, at which point you can look around and see everyone else for what's really going on. That is so, so valuable. It's a variation on one of the techniques that I teach in MI school. The next thing that we're doing that I just shared with you was how if you begin to look at the world in terms of these flows, and you've chosen each of these flows, your involvement to some extent or another. You can also choose how you want to be involved with them. Instead of feeling like, ah, now it's just spinning out of control. Like, no, you've already, you've already built all of these yeses to things. You've already created a collection of things in your life. Why do you selectively then say, but that one's out of my control? No, it's not. You are still energetically interacting with it. What you are is impacting it. If you are stressed out coming to it, then you're going to just inflame it. Pour a gasoline on the fire. But if you become water, you pour yourself, you pour your own water on it, what happens then? You put it out, you tamp it down. That's within your ability, that's within your power. What a beautiful thought. What a beautiful understanding. Everywhere you go, I am water to this. I am water to this. I can put this out. If I don't choose it, I put it out. Now this is manifesting. This is manifesting the way I do it, which is a day in, day out, ongoing, continuous way of being something I don't even have to think about. Why? Because I've practiced my thinking enough over the years that it comes naturally to me. And yes, you know, your body biologically hardwired to look for things that are going to hurt it. Hardwired to remember the negative over the positive. But that doesn't mean it has to dominate you. It means it will always be there. There will always be the little whisper of something saying, watch out, don't put your hand on the stove. Don't run across traffic. That's your body's job. It's always looking out for you. Thank God for it. Just like as parents, we're always looking out for our kids. It's our jobs, can't help it, but it doesn't take over our lives. That is the alert system. Right? It's good to have a fire alarm in the house, but your whole house doesn't have to be on fire. The rest of your house is clean and dry and beautiful and in flow. That's the rest of your life. Clean, dry, beautiful, in flow, expecting. Yeah, I'm going to get my needs met. Yeah. This season is going to be the best ever. Yeah, the season is slowing down for me. I have more time. I have plenty of time to get everything done. I have plenty of time to see all my family. I have all the time I need. Pockets of time open up for me. How do I know that? Because I Feel it. I intend it. I know it to be so. So that's the third trick, third technique. It was buried in there. Changing your perception. Now that's not one it's easy to pull off instantly unless you've been practicing a long time. Again, that's something you kind of have to devote yourself to the art of flow dreaming to get to. But once you do, you know, it's like, gosh, you know, your life is just coming up roses everywhere every year. My life is improving, smoothing out, becoming more abundant, more full of love, more full of friends, more full of security. And that is what I wish for all of you. And that's why I teach this. And that's why I've devoted my life to this practice. So let's close our show today with a nice stress relieving flow dream. By the way, I have these flow dreams recorded and they are available@flowdreaming.com some of them are starting to be available on itunes and through various other sources. You can also check that they'll soon be available through an app on your phone. Actually, you can just go right there and see a list of all of my flow dreams. So take a look for that too. I have several of them for stress reduction. One is a flow dream. Meditation means you can fall asleep to it. Then I have another one that's active. It's for the daytime. Complete stress release. This one we're doing together is sort of on the fly. You, me, everyone listening, Everyone who will listen in the future. All of you, close your eyes. Come into me. Come into a circle. Come into my flow. All of us. Imagine a big circle around the earth. Oh, that's right. You guys are everywhere. You're all over this planet. There you are, dotted through the continents. Does it matter that you're far away? No, not at all. In flow, there is no real sense of distance. Like energies pool together no matter how far apart they are physically. And our energy right now is a like energy. Take a deep breath and we exhale. We don't bring any stress into our flow, into the process. Just like that ice skater earlier today, we ourselves feel we're moving forward. Maybe we're sledding, maybe we're ice skating, maybe we're jogging. Maybe we're just being moved forward like on a little people mover, like those at the airport. But we're heading forward. And it's easy and it's graceful, it's effortless. That's us. Here we are, we're going for it. And we're Noticing this path we're on, there's no resistance. There's absolutely nothing holding us back. Nothing. Nothing's getting in the way. We don't have to go around anything either. Nothing to avoid. Our path is totally clear and open. A clear and open path. There we go. Flowing, flowing, letting go, loosening up. Do you feel that? It's like. It's like there's debris coming off us now. Old stuff, like the wind is gently dusting us. There was some stress. A layer of it just peeled off. We don't need that. Over here is a situation. Do you feel how wound up and tight that thing is? Hold it in your hand as you flow with it. Feel it loosen up, relax. Maybe the same people, the same elements are there, but they're just looser somehow. More flexible, more yielding, more apt to change. Oh, yeah, let that happen, too. Feeling your mind release. Unspool, loosening, loosening, loosening. No need for this pressure. No need for this tenseness. Tightness. That was an accident. That was an oops. That was. I wasn't paying attention. Now I am. And I let it go. And I know why I'm doing this. I know why. I'm letting the stress just roll off my body in big sheets and big waves. My shoulders relax my jaw, everything. I know why. Because I have work to do. I have a life to live. I have many things to accomplish and achieve and get done. And carrying this tenseness with me, it's been making me smaller. When things are tight, they retract, they condense, they get smaller. And I. I'm not getting stuck smaller. I'm going bigger. I'm embracing more, which means I have to open up and spread out. It means I allow in things that are right and easy and smooth and uplifting. I allow in opportunities for my growth, for my financial benefit, for love, for my best health, and make good decisions. I move where there is a peaceful sense of restorative energy or an energy of excitement and growth. Both of those feel great. That's where I go. And if it doesn't feel great, I let it roll off me. I can't use you. You don't feel right. You don't feel good. Good. So I don't use you. And that makes sense. The decision makes sense. So I bask in this feeling. I stay in this feeling. This smooth, glowing, growing, expansive, moving state of flow. I don't even have to leave it. Even though I'm going to open my eyes at 3, 2, 1. Now. See how I left you in that state of ease and peace. You don't have to leave it. Watch the rest of your day now form around this notice. If things are different, if things have changed, I bet you they have. And with that I wish you all wonderful merry holidays, lots of free time and good family and that you get everything that you're seeking to make, create, be, have or do.
