Episode 30: How to Achieve the Beautiful Energy of Flow
3 Plays1 year ago
The idea behind the "energy of flow" is that this state of optimal engagement can create a positive and energizing experience. It often leads to increased creativity, productivity, and fulfillment. Many people seek to find activities and tasks that allow them to experience this flow state regularly.
If you have been in a state of flow, you can easily confirm how good that felt and how optimistic you were. It's a state we all wish we could be in forever, but the fact is, sometimes, we'll have the opposite of that, which is the energy of effort. With the energy of effort, things feel like an uphill climb.
In this episode, we share our experiences with the energy of flow and effort, how we reclaimed our power from the energy of effort, and how you can quickly achieve the energy of flow. Listen in and learn.

Magical Quotes from the Episode:
"When I feel like I'm in a state of flow, I feel like I'm not paying attention to it. Like, I'm not forcing something to happen. I'm trusting."
“Flow is all about creativity, nurturing yourself, intuition and being present in the moment.”
"When you're constantly feeling like you're hitting a wall, or you're not making progress, it's the energy or it's the universe showing that you need to redirect your energy elsewhere."
"A lot of good things can be manifested from that frequency that people run at when they're in the state of flow."

00:00:05
Speaker
Welcome to Psychic Girls Next Door.
00:00:07
Speaker
We are your hosts, Shannon Miller and Lily Hiberino.
00:00:10
Speaker
This podcast is for all spirituality enthusiasts and psychics next door to share tools, experiences, and spiritual practices that align with your highest vibrational self.
00:00:21
Speaker
So on today's episode, we will be chatting about the energy of flow.
What is Energetic Flow?
00:00:27
Speaker
What it is, like what is energetic flow?
00:00:31
Speaker
uh experience our experiences with it and then also like what is the opposite of energetic flow so good question yes so by the traditional definition flow is a state of mind where one does not worry about time money or material possessions so basically instead you decide to relax and take life as it comes oh that is that's ideal yeah
00:01:00
Speaker
They're like a theory.
00:01:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:02
Speaker
Oh, that's amazing.
00:01:03
Speaker
I would love to never worry about money or time.
00:01:07
Speaker
I mean, most of the time I don't worry about time.
00:01:09
Speaker
But, you know, other life responsibilities get in the way.
00:01:12
Speaker
True.
00:01:13
Speaker
Yes.
00:01:13
Speaker
I mean, if you think of us as humans.
00:01:16
Speaker
I mean, those concerns, it seems like they're always going to be there in a way, a societal, there's always this programming conditioning, right, that kind of runs in the background of things.
Personal Experiences with Flow and Anxiety
00:01:30
Speaker
Although I have to say, like, I lately, you know, I've had a lot of...
00:01:35
Speaker
life's events and transitions and changes that have happened that I've noticed that when I am, and again, I'll talk about one of the definitions that could be defined as the opposite of flow is effort.
00:01:51
Speaker
When I'm in effort and I'm like trying to force things and I'm like in survival, basically.
00:01:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:59
Speaker
So say, for example, I was transitioning from one job to the next, and it was part of me that I was freaking out.
00:02:09
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:02:10
Speaker
How could you not?
00:02:11
Speaker
I mean, that magically worked out.
00:02:13
Speaker
Yes.
00:02:14
Speaker
You figured out a flow.
00:02:16
Speaker
I sure did.
00:02:17
Speaker
And I started looking at this energy because this energy of effort for me sits in
00:02:26
Speaker
pretty much in my, I would say my lower chakras.
00:02:29
Speaker
So if you're not familiar with chakras, we have the seven main chakras that are placed throughout our body.
00:02:36
Speaker
And the lower chakras, they're basically located, you know, around like our belly button, like the base of our spine and around like where solar plexus is.
00:02:45
Speaker
And it's all related to body level functions.
00:02:49
Speaker
So, you know, when you feel a lot of anxiety, when you feel it, oh yeah, like that.
00:02:54
Speaker
You're not safe or like, yeah.
00:02:56
Speaker
Yeah, you feel that little butterflies in your stomach and everything's like kind of like down in that area.
00:03:01
Speaker
So these are the chakras and, you know, all these energy centers that get kind of triggered.
00:03:06
Speaker
And I could feel it.
00:03:09
Speaker
There's like, you know, this tension bubbling.
00:03:12
Speaker
The weight of uncertainty around.
00:03:14
Speaker
Oh, it was heavy.
00:03:16
Speaker
It's kind of just like it's it's.
00:03:18
Speaker
Oh, heavy.
00:03:19
Speaker
But again, like all my energy, my attention, it wasn't this energy of effort, like, oh, like what is going to happen?
00:03:27
Speaker
Oh, am I going to have money for this and that to pay my bills?
00:03:30
Speaker
So it's always kind of like putting this energy in the future and you kind of try to control also things, you know?
00:03:37
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:03:38
Speaker
We do tend to go into that space when you analyze a lot of this stuff, like, and you go back into the past.
00:03:45
Speaker
It's kind of, I think it goes like back and forth with past decisions, future decisions.
00:03:52
Speaker
But I have a really great friend of mine that is also psychic that he was...
Advice and Humor from Friends and Felines
00:04:00
Speaker
We were chatting about this space where he's like, wow, you have a lot of this anxious energy in your space.
00:04:07
Speaker
I'm like, I am anxiety in person.
00:04:09
Speaker
I'm walking anxiety right now.
00:04:14
Speaker
And I was like, you know what?
00:04:15
Speaker
That's okay.
00:04:16
Speaker
I'm feeling anxious.
00:04:17
Speaker
I'm not going to like let this energy kind of like, you know, take over.
00:04:22
Speaker
all over my space.
00:04:24
Speaker
So he said, you know, it will look good to tap into the opposite of that.
00:04:29
Speaker
You're just going to explore it.
00:04:30
Speaker
How would that feel in your body?
00:04:32
Speaker
Because your body, all it knows and the brain's default is also this like the alarm bells that goes in your brain.
00:04:40
Speaker
Like, oh my gosh, there's change.
00:04:42
Speaker
It's threatening.
00:04:43
Speaker
And it goes into all the survival pictures.
00:04:47
Speaker
What if we would tap into flow?
00:04:50
Speaker
How would that look like?
00:04:51
Speaker
How does your body feel like around this being in flow?
00:04:55
Speaker
So, and I did my homework.
00:04:58
Speaker
I did my diligence and I sat in meditation and I'm like, I'm going to say hello to this energy of flow.
00:05:05
Speaker
How is it going to feel?
00:05:07
Speaker
How is it going to look like?
00:05:08
Speaker
And so on and so forth.
00:05:10
Speaker
You know, oh, sorry guys.
00:05:11
Speaker
If there is a little noise in the background and a little scratchy scratchy and meows, it is Zoe making her presence known.
00:05:22
Speaker
She loves this energy.
00:05:23
Speaker
So she wants to also...
00:05:26
Speaker
share her own information about how she flows.
00:05:30
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:05:31
Speaker
She just went to the bathroom.
00:05:32
Speaker
There you go.
00:05:33
Speaker
That's a different type of flow.
00:05:36
Speaker
Not on today's episode.
00:05:38
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:05:39
Speaker
Rated R. Yeah, rated R.
00:05:42
Speaker
Anyways, but that's just kind of like how my recent experience has been with flow.
00:05:48
Speaker
But what about for you?
00:05:50
Speaker
How does, how do you, how does flow feel for you?
Flow in Career Transitions
00:05:53
Speaker
I feel like, well, as a water sign, I love flow.
00:05:56
Speaker
I love floating on the river.
00:05:59
Speaker
I love float.
00:06:01
Speaker
I mean, flow is in floating, right?
00:06:03
Speaker
Like when I feel like, you know,
00:06:06
Speaker
I'll talk about both like the energy of effort and resistance that actually gets matched when you are in the energy of effort.
00:06:14
Speaker
Yes.
00:06:15
Speaker
So when I feel like I'm in a state of flow, I feel like I'm not paying attention to it.
00:06:21
Speaker
Like, you know, I'm not forcing something to happen.
00:06:24
Speaker
I'm trust.
00:06:25
Speaker
I'm trusting.
00:06:26
Speaker
I'm trusting that I'm getting the information I need.
00:06:29
Speaker
I have the resources I need.
00:06:31
Speaker
Everything's working out for me.
00:06:34
Speaker
you know, rather than, oh, why is this happening?
00:06:37
Speaker
I have to, because right now I do, I am interviewing and I'm looking for a new job and I have my last day and my current job is going to be September 1st.
00:06:46
Speaker
And, you know, I feel very grateful to know that
00:06:52
Speaker
my current cycle is going to have an end date and I'm going to start something new.
00:06:57
Speaker
Like how great is it to have a new opportunity just waiting at your door?
00:07:04
Speaker
You know, whether it, whatever it is, I don't know.
00:07:08
Speaker
So I have been surprisingly in a state of flow when it comes to trusting that I will be getting interviews and really practicing, uh,
00:07:21
Speaker
the discernment around the types of jobs I'm interviewing for, as well as not trying to, trying to try too hard to get a job.
00:07:31
Speaker
Cause I know that I will get a new job.
00:07:33
Speaker
It's an only matter of time.
00:07:34
Speaker
I'm very fortunate to have three interviews on my horizon that are scheduled.
00:07:39
Speaker
Um, so, um,
00:07:40
Speaker
That has, I've been very appreciative of that.
Creative Flow vs. Effort in Writing
00:07:45
Speaker
Right before this episode, Lily actually gave me a reading and it was amazing.
00:07:49
Speaker
And it's more about the creative flow and tapping into my feminine channels.
00:07:55
Speaker
So I feel like with my, you know, my work mode self is more operating from my masculine energy where I'm
00:08:04
Speaker
It might feel like effort in the moment, but it's just like it's doing, it's taking action.
00:08:09
Speaker
It's like making things happen.
00:08:11
Speaker
It's like getting that energy to keep flowing, I guess.
00:08:15
Speaker
Yeah, the more analytical.
00:08:16
Speaker
Yeah, the more analytical side where I feel like my creative, I haven't been paying attention or really operating from my feminine flow and like making it...
00:08:30
Speaker
Making is also a masculine word.
00:08:33
Speaker
You know, just basically paying attention to receiving the flow of information that I need in order to write my young adult multiverse book series.
00:08:47
Speaker
And I have been...
00:08:51
Speaker
It's not that I, I don't feel like I've been resistance or resistant to having, or just have the, the language that I'm saying.
00:09:00
Speaker
It's like, oh, all of these words have resistance in them.
00:09:03
Speaker
Like having to write this book, that alone, I'm just dissecting it live with y'all listening right now, but having, having to write the book.
00:09:11
Speaker
No, I want to write this book.
00:09:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:13
Speaker
Effort.
00:09:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:14
Speaker
It's a chore.
00:09:15
Speaker
It's effort.
00:09:16
Speaker
So, um,
00:09:17
Speaker
that's been blocking me from being in a state of creative flow, feeling like maybe it's a, an unreal, it's like an untrue belief, a limiting belief that it's going to take a lot of effort for me to, to write this book.
00:09:38
Speaker
Maybe it's, I don't know.
00:09:40
Speaker
Well, we went into it in the reading and
00:09:44
Speaker
We can dive into that, but it's not really related to the topic.
00:09:47
Speaker
No, it ended up being somewhere else.
00:09:49
Speaker
We flowed somewhere.
00:09:50
Speaker
Yeah, you're just flowing with whatever your energy is going.
00:09:53
Speaker
Yeah, but I agree.
00:09:54
Speaker
I think flow is all about creativity.
Identifying and Redirecting Blocked Energy
00:09:58
Speaker
It's about nurturing yourself.
00:10:01
Speaker
It's about intuition.
00:10:02
Speaker
Being present in the moment.
00:10:04
Speaker
It's just like things just kind of have this fluidity to it.
00:10:09
Speaker
I think another word that also would be the opposite of flow is stagnant.
00:10:15
Speaker
And interestingly, I see that.
00:10:19
Speaker
when I read other people's energy, was the energy, I think that's kind of like a way that I would describe it.
00:10:27
Speaker
The energy is being stuck or stagnant.
00:10:29
Speaker
And it's a lot related to people being kind of really either fixated or really like hung up on pastime experiences and memories.
00:10:43
Speaker
And therefore, whenever they want to either create or they wanted to manifest things or make changes, they end up going to pastime information.
00:10:57
Speaker
So that also creates an imbalance of how you kind of want to be in this energy of flow and how you want the energy to flow because you cannot like create from...
00:11:07
Speaker
things that are stagnant, you know, and if you look at a, whatever, you know, river or a pond that is stagnant, you don't want to like dive into that, you know, that looks yucky.
00:11:20
Speaker
Yeah, that would give me the ick.
00:11:22
Speaker
Yeah, you're like, gosh, no, I don't want that.
00:11:25
Speaker
And you want like something, you know, energy that is refreshing, that is clear.
00:11:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:31
Speaker
That's where you want to draw your energy from.
00:11:34
Speaker
So I think a good, um,
00:11:37
Speaker
maybe step for people is to look at where in your life that you have been like, you know, whether it be a belief, information, or people in your life or situations that you keep like still thinking,
00:11:58
Speaker
putting a lot of effort into.
00:12:00
Speaker
Or it's almost like you're hitting a wall with either someone, if you're trying so hard to make a relationship happen or a job happen, any situation, like, you know, being in the energy of effort, it can just become repetitive.
00:12:15
Speaker
And it's the universe showing you
00:12:18
Speaker
When you're constantly feeling like you're hitting a wall or you're not making progress, it's the energy or it's the universe showing that you need to redirect your energy elsewhere.
00:12:28
Speaker
Well, yeah, because whatever you are that you've, you know how people say, well, if you're stuck or you basically energetically, you might be stuck.
00:12:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:38
Speaker
I don't say like in a way that you don't have any alternatives or any other options, but it's pretty much the space where you kind of limit yourself.
00:12:48
Speaker
So you limit yourself to this space where it's like, oh, it's this.
00:12:52
Speaker
This is my life.
00:12:53
Speaker
Right.
00:12:53
Speaker
It's a belief like, yeah, this is the best I can get.
00:12:56
Speaker
Yeah, this is it.
00:12:58
Speaker
This is this is my life.
00:13:00
Speaker
I wake up.
00:13:01
Speaker
I have this routine.
00:13:02
Speaker
I'm miserable.
00:13:03
Speaker
I hate my job.
00:13:04
Speaker
So this becomes your narrative around it.
00:13:08
Speaker
And therefore, you kind of dictate the energy around it.
00:13:11
Speaker
It's like, well, this is it.
00:13:13
Speaker
So you don't give space or you don't allow space for other things to come.
00:13:18
Speaker
And it's also like, I think, when you are fixated or you are just putting a lot of your energy and attention in things that are not working in your life, everything that is like, ah, this job sucks, this relationship is horrible, the friends, you know, that...
00:13:38
Speaker
are not serving you, whatever is not serving your life, you put a lot of the attention in that.
00:13:43
Speaker
So that's where it's going to stay.
00:13:45
Speaker
You know, energy stay in that space.
00:13:48
Speaker
And again, it becomes a stagnant pond, like, you know, metaphorically speaking.
00:13:54
Speaker
Therefore,
00:13:55
Speaker
There's no space for flow of energy to come and maybe clean out and refresh things, you know, or recycle.
00:14:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:06
Speaker
Recycle things around that.
00:14:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:08
Speaker
It becomes really murky.
00:14:09
Speaker
And so then you get stuck in this like narrative or this like stagnant energy that you're just, you've become so used to.
00:14:17
Speaker
It's almost like...
00:14:18
Speaker
I think we've talked about this before on that, on a few episodes of being comfortable with discomfort and like being not even realizing like that there could be something completely different and better aligned for you, whether it's a job or, you know, a new, you know, relationship or just being alone.
00:14:39
Speaker
Like, you know, let's talk about that.
00:14:40
Speaker
Like being like, for me, I am actively not dating.
00:14:45
Speaker
And that is where my energy is present and it's flowing.
00:14:51
Speaker
Like I'm not trying to have a relationship anymore.
00:14:55
Speaker
For years I was trying, always in the state of effort of trying to set up dates, trying to get somebody to message me back.
00:15:03
Speaker
trying to like trying too hard to look a certain way or, you know, I would practice for these interviews.
00:15:10
Speaker
Like, so naturally I would be like, I don't know what to say.
00:15:13
Speaker
Like, I don't know how to do this.
00:15:14
Speaker
And so when you're in that energy of uncertainty, it can feel almost like you're stuck or have limited, you know, resources in that situation.
00:15:25
Speaker
It was like topics of conversation where like my limited resources were like, yeah, I'm like, I can talk to anyone about anything or
00:15:33
Speaker
wherever, like regardless of like who I'm with, but I'm also not operating from a place of like trying too hard to get somebody to want to be with me.
00:15:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:44
Speaker
Because you means basically you're forcing.
00:15:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:48
Speaker
You're forcing things.
00:15:49
Speaker
And it's kind of that picture of like trying to force doors.
00:15:53
Speaker
They're not meant for you.
00:15:54
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:15:55
Speaker
And I've seen that a lot too lately.
00:15:58
Speaker
I was actually giving, and again, like going back to the energy readings, I was reading someone not too long ago and this person kept like insisting about this one particular field or career that she wanted to go in.
00:16:14
Speaker
And I kept seeing, I was like, listen, it's like you keep trying to...
00:16:22
Speaker
open doors where your keys don't fit and you know and this door is not meant for you and there's like thousands or infinity of doors like around it but you just kind of like all your energy is this door that is not meant to be open it's not for you
00:16:41
Speaker
So how about we expand that?
00:16:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:44
Speaker
So I think it's about like expanding your perception, expanding the things outside, whatever it is that you like, you know, you put all this, all that you like can think of.
00:16:55
Speaker
And again, I'm guilty too.
00:16:56
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:16:57
Speaker
Like, you know, I'm speaking from experience.
00:17:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:01
Speaker
Guilty.
00:17:01
Speaker
I mean, I've been there, done that not too long ago.
00:17:05
Speaker
I had a lot of resistance, like even changing from one job to the next.
00:17:09
Speaker
And and I knew it in my heart that it was, you know, things like.
00:17:15
Speaker
They were meant to, there was a cycle of completion that was meant to happen.
00:17:22
Speaker
And then, and again, as you mentioned, you know, you go into this place of uncertainty, oh gosh, what's going to happen next?
00:17:28
Speaker
I don't know.
00:17:29
Speaker
And all this fear that just kind of creeps up.
00:17:33
Speaker
But trusting and trusting, you know, people might say trust God, trust the universe or whatever it is that you believe, trust life, that it will kind of guide you for a lot of people.
00:17:43
Speaker
And for myself included, it's there's a lot of fear around that.
00:17:46
Speaker
And it's the uncertainty or not knowing where things are going to lead next.
00:17:52
Speaker
It's releasing control.
00:17:53
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:17:54
Speaker
And you just want to make sure that things are going to remain the same, but different.
00:18:00
Speaker
Right, right.
00:18:00
Speaker
Like make sure you're still able to like live the life you're living or whatever that means for you.
00:18:05
Speaker
The way that you've been doing, but you want it different.
00:18:08
Speaker
But there's no way that this is going to happen.
00:18:10
Speaker
You have to, it's kind of closing that chapter of your book.
00:18:14
Speaker
And in order for you to move on to the next chapter, you do have to finish it.
00:18:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:19
Speaker
And you got to turn the page and then start like writing a new story for yourself.
00:18:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:25
Speaker
However you want it.
00:18:26
Speaker
Right.
00:18:26
Speaker
You know, so I think it's about also you expanding that there's, oh gosh, unlimited possibilities in this world.
00:18:35
Speaker
in this universe because we are very bounded by this physical experience that we have, right?
Trusting the Process and Letting Go of Control
00:18:42
Speaker
You only kind of, we can only like gather what we see with our physical eyes, but also understanding there's way more than that.
00:18:50
Speaker
Oh, there's so much more.
00:18:51
Speaker
Yes.
00:18:52
Speaker
Oh, it's just a matter of like taking a step back and out of the situation.
00:18:57
Speaker
And I think I'm handling like my work situation and transition.
00:19:01
Speaker
So,
00:19:02
Speaker
Not seamlessly because I'm not perfect, but like I've just been in a state of flow around it because I was able to take a step back and like my body, I felt it, my body, my body was like, girl, this is not the place for you.
00:19:17
Speaker
Like you deserve better, whatever, you know, like recognizing your worth.
00:19:23
Speaker
Because if you're in a situation where you don't feel like you're being appreciated, you're being seen, you're being valued, heard, whatever it is, like you need to take a step back and energetically remove yourself from that situation as best as you can so that you can see clearly and neutrally and take a look at the situation.
00:19:44
Speaker
Yeah, step into your worth.
00:19:46
Speaker
Yeah, step into your worth.
00:19:47
Speaker
And say, you know, I deserve better.
00:19:49
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:19:49
Speaker
I deserve to be with people that respect me.
00:19:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:54
Speaker
And they want to be around me and appreciate my work.
00:19:58
Speaker
Totally.
00:19:58
Speaker
Or myself.
00:19:59
Speaker
Don't treat you like trash, you know, or whatever it is.
00:20:01
Speaker
Appreciate you as a person.
00:20:03
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:20:04
Speaker
Or just being who you are.
00:20:05
Speaker
Yeah, well, interesting that you've mentioned that, but I think it's also letting go of this attachment.
00:20:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:10
Speaker
Yes.
00:20:11
Speaker
That we have to things.
00:20:12
Speaker
And of course, like say if you've been at a job, like I've been at my last job for four years.
00:20:17
Speaker
Wow.
00:20:17
Speaker
And then there's, you know, there's a certain level of attachment to the people that you work with, to the job that you've been doing, to the routine that you've had throughout the years and changing that.
00:20:30
Speaker
There's a lot of resistance.
00:20:31
Speaker
Oh, totally.
00:20:32
Speaker
Especially if you are one who likes routine and you rely on routine.
00:20:36
Speaker
And like, um, for me, I do like a general idea of what I'm going to be doing.
00:20:44
Speaker
Um, but I think when it comes, maybe I've been practicing this state of flow around work in general.
00:20:51
Speaker
I mean, the environment I'm in now, I have to just be in a flow state and kind of go with the flow because it's just every day is different.
00:20:57
Speaker
Every day's every hour is different.
00:21:00
Speaker
something new and then there's reactive and I just gotta be agile and flow with it and that's okay like I've been kind of that's that's how I've been surviving in this job but I haven't been able to thrive because there isn't any structure
00:21:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:16
Speaker
Well, it's not intentional either.
00:21:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:19
Speaker
You kind of, that's a good one.
00:21:21
Speaker
You just, you're going with the flow, but you're going with other people's flow.
00:21:25
Speaker
Other people's flow.
00:21:26
Speaker
Ooh, let's talk about that.
00:21:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:27
Speaker
So I think when you are intentional with your flow, you flow with your own energy.
00:21:32
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:21:33
Speaker
I see that a lot because I work with children and I cannot think of anyone else that is more in flow than children.
00:21:41
Speaker
You look at children, they absolutely, you know, don't care.
00:21:44
Speaker
And they just kind of really live moment to moment and they're very present with whatever they're in.
00:21:51
Speaker
And it's kind of like how it is.
00:21:52
Speaker
But I think us, of course, as we grow older as adults, you know, we do have a lot of responsibilities.
00:21:59
Speaker
But when you set the intention to just tell yourself, you know what, whatever happens, I'm going to be okay.
00:22:09
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:22:09
Speaker
Everything yourself that you're fine.
00:22:12
Speaker
You just kind of have.
00:22:13
Speaker
And I think that's where I also like I told myself.
00:22:18
Speaker
I have been through a lot of challenging situations.
00:22:21
Speaker
Right.
00:22:21
Speaker
And I survived all of them.
00:22:23
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:24
Speaker
So whatever comes, I'm going to be okay.
00:22:27
Speaker
I'll figure it out.
00:22:28
Speaker
You know, I think we do also tap into our resilience, of course, our strength.
00:22:35
Speaker
And you have to have the courage to.
00:22:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:38
Speaker
Right.
00:22:38
Speaker
To tap into all of this.
00:22:41
Speaker
Because if you stay in a place of fear and where you kind of either make yourself smarter
00:22:48
Speaker
or you let other people like walk all over you, whatever it is, you know, it's basically you tell yourself, well, I don't deserve all these things.
00:23:00
Speaker
I don't deserve the flow of things because flow is also abundance.
00:23:04
Speaker
Yeah, that's very true.
00:23:05
Speaker
It also matches with the energy of abundance because it's this constant flow of giving, receiving, you know, so it kind of taps into that too.
00:23:15
Speaker
And when I was...
00:23:17
Speaker
Having my conversations with God or the universe.
00:23:20
Speaker
I was having a lot of conversations lately.
00:23:22
Speaker
Like, excuse me?
00:23:23
Speaker
Frequent callers.
00:23:24
Speaker
Yes.
00:23:25
Speaker
It's that universal hotline.
00:23:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:27
Speaker
That's where I've been calling.
00:23:28
Speaker
Like, hello.
00:23:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:32
Speaker
I need help here.
00:23:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:33
Speaker
And it's okay to ask for help, guys.
00:23:35
Speaker
You know, you guys will say, ah, you guys are psychic.
00:23:38
Speaker
Just manifest a look into it.
00:23:40
Speaker
Not that simple.
00:23:41
Speaker
Right.
00:23:41
Speaker
We're humans.
00:23:42
Speaker
We get in our own way.
00:23:44
Speaker
We sure do.
00:23:45
Speaker
I think everyone gets in their own way.
00:23:47
Speaker
Regardless with our psychic abilities or not, I mean, I'm glad that I have psychic friends that I can kind of, you know, ask for help.
00:23:53
Speaker
Tap in.
00:23:54
Speaker
Okay, trust God or whatever is a higher source that you connect with for help.
00:23:59
Speaker
But I say, listen, I need some assistance here because I believe that I don't think we can do things alone here in this physical plane.
00:24:08
Speaker
I think we do need a little help.
00:24:10
Speaker
Divine guidance.
00:24:11
Speaker
I agree with you.
00:24:12
Speaker
You know, we do need some divine guidance.
00:24:14
Speaker
And I had my chats and I said, you know, just please show me everything that is good that can possibly happen in my life.
00:24:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:26
Speaker
And just like, okay, I'm open.
00:24:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:29
Speaker
and I'm ready to receive it with my eyes my arms like wide open like give it to me yeah yeah and honestly like that does work like I all not always but a lot of the time like when I feel like the energy's not moving it's not flowing I will say universe please show me how good it can get and I truly wholeheartedly believe that and then it feels like I literally felt the release in my heart chakra right now like
00:24:59
Speaker
just a release of it just opens up and it just chills out a little bit.
00:25:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:04
Speaker
That's wonderful.
00:25:05
Speaker
Literally on urban dictionary, like someone, uh, we were looking at like, you know, uh, state of flow definitions earlier.
00:25:15
Speaker
And, uh, the example is, uh, an unhappy person says life sucks.
00:25:21
Speaker
And then the person next to them, like bro saying, nah, man, just chill and go with the flow.
00:25:27
Speaker
I love that.
00:25:27
Speaker
Literally like that.
00:25:29
Speaker
I feel like that's my spirit guides are saying like, just chill and go with the flow and like everything's happening for you, not to you.
00:25:37
Speaker
And then you can take your power back.
00:25:40
Speaker
Cause a lot of the times like people feel powerless when something doesn't work out or like something didn't go according to plan that they didn't foresee or properly prepare for.
00:25:51
Speaker
And it can be feel it can be like a very just jarring feeling.
00:25:55
Speaker
And then they feel you can either feel powerless and then you go into victim mode.
00:26:00
Speaker
So in order to get into a state of feeling like not a victim, which is, you know, you never want to feel like a victim.
00:26:07
Speaker
Take your power back.
00:26:09
Speaker
Like I was talking to one of my friends like the other day and they were talking about their work situation.
00:26:15
Speaker
I'm like, take your power back.
00:26:17
Speaker
And then it's like something like shook off of them and they're like, oh my God, like I am giving away my power to the opinions of these people or whatever it is.
00:26:27
Speaker
And I think that can be a very, you know, pun intended and empowering feeling.
00:26:32
Speaker
Yes.
00:26:32
Speaker
When you take your power back and you realize like, you know, because when you are in a state of flow, you're not worried about that stuff.
00:26:40
Speaker
You're not worried at all.
00:26:42
Speaker
You're just literally chilling and going with the flow and allowing yourself to receive the information, receive the abundance, receive the opportunities.
00:26:52
Speaker
Yes.
00:26:52
Speaker
Well, you're not controlling.
00:26:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:54
Speaker
You know, it's kind of like you're the driver's seat.
00:26:58
Speaker
You're driving, you know, you still like, you know, because of course you are, you know, you drive and you have kind of like, you know, you know where you're going with your life and you're the one that pretty much you paved the way of your own life.
00:27:12
Speaker
But again, you also want to allow life or universe, whatever you believe in to kind of show you which path.
00:27:22
Speaker
that is most aligned with you as you're kind of driving along, you know, your own highway.
00:27:28
Speaker
And there is no right or wrong with this, with where you're going.
00:27:33
Speaker
And people might say, ah, that didn't work.
00:27:35
Speaker
Why?
00:27:35
Speaker
It's just a detour.
00:27:37
Speaker
Turn around.
00:27:39
Speaker
And keep moving forward.
00:27:41
Speaker
Because I think also when people say, ah, that didn't work.
00:27:45
Speaker
Oh, that always like, I think it's a lot of scarcity.
00:27:50
Speaker
Didn't work.
00:27:51
Speaker
I didn't get the job.
00:27:52
Speaker
And I've also been through this, like, you know, not too long ago, you know, you do go through some interviews and it's like, ah, you know, you get a no.
00:28:01
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:02
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:03
Speaker
I was like, well, that was not meant to be.
00:28:05
Speaker
Exactly.
00:28:06
Speaker
And that's it.
00:28:06
Speaker
And then, okay, what's next?
00:28:08
Speaker
Let's move forward and just move forward.
00:28:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:12
Speaker
With life.
00:28:12
Speaker
And don't, I stopped on like undwelling because people, I had friends that were like, well, do you know why you didn't get the job?
00:28:19
Speaker
Or why did they say no?
00:28:21
Speaker
I was like, no, I don't need to know.
00:28:23
Speaker
You don't need to know that.
00:28:24
Speaker
I am not.
00:28:24
Speaker
And I said, you know, I'm going to validate you in some way, you know, and I said, you know, my time and energy are precious.
00:28:31
Speaker
I do want to devote this energy and time to actually align with something that matches.
00:28:37
Speaker
I'm not going to worry about things that didn't match.
00:28:40
Speaker
It doesn't matter why.
00:28:41
Speaker
It doesn't matter.
00:28:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:42
Speaker
Because it's not going to like serve me.
00:28:44
Speaker
Right.
00:28:45
Speaker
And it's if there is a positive feedback, of course, please let me know.
00:28:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:49
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:28:50
Speaker
You know, but if it's, and I said, you know, it's not meant to be.
00:28:54
Speaker
I am not going to be dwelling on this.
00:28:56
Speaker
Not at all.
00:28:56
Speaker
Just I'm going to move forward and say, okay, what's next?
00:29:01
Speaker
Just like and trust that I am moving forward in the right direction.
00:29:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:06
Speaker
The only direction that I'm supposed to be moving towards.
00:29:09
Speaker
I think that's
Psychological Tips for Achieving Flow
00:29:10
Speaker
great.
00:29:10
Speaker
And so something I also researched was on psychology today.
00:29:14
Speaker
It talks about positive psychology.
00:29:16
Speaker
There's a Hungarian-American psychologist, Mihaly... I'm not even going to just say the name.
00:29:23
Speaker
We'll tag it.
00:29:24
Speaker
But we'll just call him MC.
00:29:27
Speaker
And he talked about, like, when artists get in the state of flow.
00:29:31
Speaker
And, like, they...
00:29:33
Speaker
You know, hunger or like being fatigued won't even get in the way because they're in the state of flow, the process of creation.
00:29:40
Speaker
And they give tips on how to actually achieve flow.
00:29:45
Speaker
So the first step, clear goals at every step.
00:29:49
Speaker
So setting your clear goals, setting your intention, intentional flow, intentional flow.
00:29:54
Speaker
Um, and then like immediately see the fruits of one's actions.
00:29:59
Speaker
Cause when you set your intention, you see your, you set your goals and then you properly tangibly see like, what do I actually need to do?
00:30:06
Speaker
So for myself, like, what do I actually need to do to sit down and write?
00:30:11
Speaker
I need to sit down and I need to type a, pull up a, you know, a Google doc.
00:30:16
Speaker
And type away.
00:30:17
Speaker
That's very clear.
00:30:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:19
Speaker
It's like, what do you need?
00:30:22
Speaker
Well, I need money.
00:30:24
Speaker
Okay, what are the steps that we have to take about also bringing in money and being in the flow of having the abundance and prosperity?
00:30:35
Speaker
You know, sometimes you don't even have to know like what it is, but just maybe knowing the qualities around that also helps you.
00:30:44
Speaker
So just being more intentional about what it is that you want to bring in with the flow.
00:30:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:50
Speaker
And another thing that it points out is the process of enjoyment.
00:30:55
Speaker
Oh, it's not a great feeling.
00:30:56
Speaker
It is an awesome feeling.
00:30:58
Speaker
Just a feeling of joy.
00:31:00
Speaker
Joy itself.
00:31:00
Speaker
Like the process of just enjoying the process, going along for the ride.
00:31:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:05
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:06
Speaker
That's a good antidote for doubt.
00:31:08
Speaker
Mm hmm.
00:31:10
Speaker
It's a great, great energy to tap into.
00:31:13
Speaker
And it doesn't mean that you ignore your current situation.
00:31:17
Speaker
I think it's just really making this conscious shift to look at the situation and say, okay, is this teaching me something?
Manifesting Through Life's Flow
00:31:35
Speaker
And what it is that I need to do
00:31:39
Speaker
to be in the state of joy and be in a state of amusement because it's way more fun to be in amusement than it is to be in doubt or sadness or anything like that.
00:31:57
Speaker
And again, it's okay to feel all of that.
00:31:59
Speaker
You can feel sad.
00:32:00
Speaker
I felt sad.
00:32:01
Speaker
I still feel sad.
00:32:02
Speaker
Totally.
00:32:02
Speaker
Yeah, there's some grief that comes when you also make changes from one thing to the next.
00:32:10
Speaker
But I think when you get into this energy of when you flow, oh, you just don't want to be anywhere else.
00:32:19
Speaker
You just always want to be riding that flow of life.
00:32:22
Speaker
You're like, oh my, this is incredible.
00:32:25
Speaker
Right.
00:32:25
Speaker
So you're not worried about time, resources.
00:32:28
Speaker
Right.
00:32:29
Speaker
you know, failure, whatever, whatever it is, like you're just actively in present time tapping into your flow state.
00:32:39
Speaker
And I think a lot of good things can be manifested from that flow.
00:32:45
Speaker
frequency that people run at when they're in the state of flow yes but also look at your beliefs that you have around flow i think that would be also another good step it's just what comes to you when you think about the flow of things do you feel you deserve it that you're worth of being the flow of things where you don't have to worry about
00:33:08
Speaker
about things really flowing in your life because we do a lot of us do have a lot of limiting beliefs that we don't deserve it or it only happens to others so it's a good space to just start start with that and just start challenging those beliefs i love that i know so the small steps yeah
00:33:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:28
