“Stop fighting. Stop fighting and start flowing.

We feel the resistance to this statement. We feel the tightness around it.

And, for some of you, it's not even like you are fighting. You are simply frustrated. You are feeling an immense need for control.

Some of you even know that the key to this existence, the key to your allowing, the key to receiving, is to simply flow. And, you can know these things and you can feel these things and yet, it can still be challenging. It can still be difficult. It can still offer an immense amount of discomfort.

But we need you to know that you are doing it. You are flowing more than you could have ever imagined. You are riding a wave. You are riding the ups and the downs. You are on the board.

Yes, the water may be splashing all around you but you are on the board. Even when you tumble off for a moment, or many moments, you get back on the board, and you continue to ride the wave. You continue to flow.

The path to flowing more fully, more consistently, in more of the moments of this existence, is to move the way you are moving, is to witness the desire to fight, witness the frustration, feel the feelings, notice it all, and then find your way back onto the board so you may flow.

Oh, we're not saying it's easy. We're not saying it's without effort. We are certainly saying that at some point it gets easier. At some point, it requires far less effort. And you are on your way to there. You are actually there.

And yet, there are moments when it overtakes you. There are moments when the not knowing overtakes you. There are moments when the discomfort overtakes you. There are moments when the ‘two steps forward and one step backward’ overtake you. And they don't hold you down in the water for long, but just long enough to feel and to wonder and to ask ‘why.’

That is a question you never have to ask, sweet soul. You never have to ask why. You know the why. You make the meaning. You are the meaning maker. You make the magic. You are the magic maker.

You get to decide the why, and you may not decide the why for many moons or many months or many years.

We don't need to know how it's all going to turn out. We just need to know that it is turning out in our favor. It always is, even when it feels tight and tender. It's always turning out in our favor.

And so, and so, and so, we want you to know you are doing it, and you can continue to do this. And you will ride this wave, and you will feel the feelings, and you will find your balance again on the board, and you will flow.

You will find your flow. You will allow your flow. You will be the flow.

Remember: some part of you, some part of us, the sweet soul, called all of this in, asked for all of this to be presented to us as life experience, as life lesson, as life expression.

Perhaps, you called it in. We called it in to learn how to stop fighting and how to start flowing.

Maybe that's the why. Maybe that's enough of the why for you in this moment, in all moments.

And if it isn't, we invite you into stillness. We invite you into silence. We invite you into being. We invite you to be open, to just receive this moment, to blend with it, to be with it, to flow with it.

That is the invitation on the altar between us, as she loves to say. That is the invitation before you.

And we love you. We love you so much. We've got this. We've totally got this.”
