Allowing the Good: Open to the Flow of the Universe

A Dog joyfully allowing the rain to fall on herJust as we allow the rain to fall on the earth and nurture the land, we can allow the good to rain down on us from the Universe without effort.

We have entered the rainy season – at last – here in drought-stricken Northern California. We had our first good rain a few days ago and I was filled with gratitude. I opened my arms wide and let in the sweet droplets of life-sustaining water.

It caused me to reflect on the process of allowing. I’ve written about receiving in my blog, but allowing, although similar, addresses the idea of receiving in a different way. Allowing has many powerful meanings that can open us to the Divine Flow of the Universe.

To Do More, You Need to “Be” More

a fountainIn order to do more in your life, you need to fill yourself abundantly by “being” more. Here’s how.

Most of my adult life, I have had a compulsion to do. It’s this nagging feeling that I’m not doing enough and need to keep doing more. Then I tend to overcommit myself, get overwhelmed, and have to clear the plate again to find my balance.

I’ve worked on the roots of this issue for some time. I have embraced doing less and enjoy that! My sense of self is less defined by doing, and more by who I truly am.

But what about when I actually want to do more – not just the compulsive fear of not being enough driving me, but a deep inspiration and desire to share more with the world? How do I make sure I don’t overcommit and spin myself into that excessively-busy, overscheduled and burned out experience?

Make Time for Timelessness

Feeling stressed and short on time? The best way to shift out of overwhelm and find fulfillment is to stop completely, unplug outdoors, and open up to timelessness.

It was a Thursday morning, and I had just dropped off my daughter at her internship at a nature preserve. The perfect time for me to visit the lake at Foothills Park, just 5 minutes away. I relished the idea of alone time outdoors.
