MASTERING THE ART OF LIVING IN FLOW

The Tao teaches us that: “Adversity or misfortune arises if we react badly to inevitable change."

Misfortune is simply how we fight against necessary change. When our reaction becomes a defense; clinging to the past and rooted in cemented beliefs.
The difference between reaction and response is our ability to feel and use our senses and not our ‘memory mind’ while observing. When we learn to cultivate a calm response to life’s unfolding, we tend to react less and observe more. It’s often through observing with composure those situations that we cannot change that we discover how life can guide us.
We can become so attached to our ideas of what we think we want that we miss what life is offering us, and don’t see what we need. Sometimes, adversity can serve as a gentle reminder to us let go of the past and open up to what’s new and in front of us. An invitation to sit still, look around, and see what messages life is sending our way..
It might seem a bit idealistic that Spiritual Masters often dismiss the outer world, yet many of us overlook the incredible power of our inner landscape. In Yoga, the Autumn season, when everything dies back to prepare for renewal in spring, is the season for us to turn inward and rejuvenate our inner world. Autumn is a time for reflection and stillness. By balancing our inner world, we can find balance and harmony in our outer lives. Think of thoughts as an energy field that shapes how we create and interact with the world around us.
If we are looking for direction, we will always find it through intuition and inspiration. And when we align these inner signals with what’s happening around us, we’ll often find synchronicity lighting our way.
This is also the theme of our Autumn Weekend Retreat from 23rd to 25th May 2025, where we’ll explore the theme of FLOW as we transition through this beautiful season.
Take time to be still and cultivate patience so that we deepen our personal connection to what is unfolding around us. Because life’s power comes from within. Let's move into the world from the inside ~ out, and learn to flow with life...
