Conscious Awareness: Flowing With Your Vision

Have you ever had one of those days, seems to be an entirely ordinary day but as it progressed you began to wondered if you had somehow slipped into another dimension where things look the same as ‘home’ but for some reason you are at odds with everything around you? There are times when I’ve fallen into my bed at night wondering what was wrong with the world, the people around me, even my dog! Of course, the truth of the matter is that there isn’t anywhere but ‘home’ and there is nothing wrong with any of it – I’m just not resonating with my world in times like that.

So what exactly do I mean when I say resonating? It can be a bit complicated to explain but it’s easy to understand once you get the idea. I’ll attempt to keep it simple, it’s like being in harmony with your life. That is resonance. I also call it being in the flow – you know those days when everything just comes easily, even if you have hard ’stuff’ to do, it just seems to get done. That is resonance.

Now of course it’s much more than that and if you’ve been reading anything about the new quantum understandings coming out of the scientific community it can be a little daunting – however, if you can get your head around those couple of examples then you have the seed to understanding resonance within you.

It can be tough when you have a bout of discordance (not being in resonance) and in my experience, it can take me a little while to remember that it’s not the world that has changed overnight, it’s probably me. This can be a little unsettling, disturbing even but I’ve come to really welcome these times (once I recognise them) because they are like signposts to me that my journey is taking a quantum leap forward.

Recognition is the key here.

• That is cultivating your conscious awareness and recognising what it is that is happening right when it’s occuring. Not later, with the benefit of hindsight, but right then and there as you are experiencing your resonance with life, or your lack of it.

• By being aware of what is happening you can gradually find the areas where you need to do more inner work, or where you have actually already done the work which may have resulted in you no longer having a resonance with a situation or person or activity in your life. This can be such a validation of what you have been doing, a reward for your personal practice, be it meditation, yoga, journaling, personal development, spiritual practice or even persuing further education in a new field of endeavour.

That being said, these periods when you are out of resonance, or you have begun to resonate with a new energy can be a bit unsettling. It is during these periods that we much remain in touch with our vision, staying focused on whatever it is you are working to achieve – your highest vision for yourself, your masterpiece life. One way we can do this is to practice non-attachment to the little dramas that are created during these transition moments in your life – don’t give them your precious energy, you need it for much better things.

During such periods it’s vital to maintain those practices that sustain you. Pure food and water, gentle exercise, meditation, inspiring reading and real connection with those I love each and every morning. This gives me the resonance I need to sustain me for almost anything the world has to show me each and every day. Develop your own recipe to sustain your resonace and help you develop your practice to help you stay ‘in the flow’ as each day of your life unfolds.
