You know when everything feels connected? Maybe you’ve run into a long lost friend at the grocery store who you’ve been meaning to catch up with. Perhaps your yoga class focused on the exact part of your body that needed your attention. You feel like you are in the right place at the right time, and things are going your way. I like to refer to this experience as “being in the flow.”
Being in the flow is when there is a sense of ease to your way of life. You listen to the plan of the universe, and you act accordingly. Rather than exerting a lot of energy to create what you think you want, the universe effortlessly provides you with what you really need. The truth is that being in the flow just feels good.
Currently, I am living in Costa Rica on retreat with True Nature Education, and life here is different. Conversations with people who I just met begin to feel like talks with old friends. I practice yoga effortlessly, and my ability to listen to my body is more attuned. My rhythms for sleep have matched those of nature; I wake up with the birds and the sun, and the stars and crickets lull me to sleep. Life has become a living meditation, and this is what being in the flow is all about.
As I experience this way of life in Costa Rica, I aspire to create a life at home that feels as consistently connected and in the flow as I’m experiencing here. True Nature is giving me tools to be able to tap into living with this essence of ease. On retreat, I practice yoga, have communal meals, and spend my time outdoors in nature. These are all meaningful ways that I will bring home with me, as a way to connect with the flow of life.
