i've started subscribing to a website - thedailyom.com. the daily messages are so uplifting and POSITIVE - something we all need more of in our lives! today's message was about going with the flow - not resisting. that's something not easy for some of us - that would be ME! LOL

you can explore the site and give opinions, etc. i found the message on "self-love" to be of incredible value and insight for me. actually, most of them hit home and are written in a way that are easy to understand.

the site is spiritual.

Woah! I just found this post and you know what? I discovered this website on the SAME day! My boss forwarded me the 10/27 DailyOM (this was the first day of my recent episode) and when I read it, I burst into tears. It was like they wrote it just for me...just for us...

Enjoying the Ride
The Flow of the Universe

The flow of the universe moves through everything. It’s in the rocks that form, get pounded into dust, and are blown away, the sprouting of a summer flower born from a seed planted in the spring, the growth cycle that every human being goes through, and the current that takes us down our life’s paths. When we move with the flow, rather than resisting it, we are riding on the universal current that allows us to flow with life.

Many people live their lives struggling against this current. They try to use force or resistance to will their lives into happening the way they think it should. Others move with this flow like a sailor using the wind, trusting that the universe is taking them exactly where they need to be at all times. This flow is accessible to everyone because it moves through and around us. We are always riding this flow. It’s just a matter of whether we are willing to go with it or resist it. Tapping into the flow is often a matter of letting go of the notion that we need to be in control at all times. The flow is always taking you where you need to go. It’s just a matter of deciding whether you plan on taking the ride or dragging your feet.

Learning to step into the flow can help you feel a connection to a force that is greater than you and is always there to support you. The decision to go with the flow can take courage because you are surrendering the notion that you need to do everything by yourself. Riding the flow of the universe can be effortless, exhilarating, and not like anything that you ever expected. When you are open to being in this flow, you open yourself to possibilities that exist beyond the grasp of your control. As a child, you were naturally swept by the flow. Tears of sadness falling down your face could just as quickly turn to tears of laughter. Just the tiniest wave carrying you forward off the shores of the ocean could carry you into peals of delight. Our souls feel good when we go with the flow of the universe. All we have to do is make the choice to ride its currents.

I would recommend that EVERYONE going through this program should sign up for the DailyOM. It is fantastic and very uplifting.

Thanks for the info on this website. I signed up for the daily inspirations. A Tao visualization that would go with "The Flow of the Universe" is to visualize a fast flowing river with a strong current and you are hanging on to the side in fear. Visualize yourself letting go of the side banks and allowing yourself to calmly flow with the river. This symbolizes flowing with the river of life instead of against it. This visualization can have a very calming effect when you start to feel you are resisting everything and just can't seem to let go.

I just came across their book at Barnes and Noble. I already have several books that are similar but if anyone is interested and you don't want to order on line - it's available at Barnes and Noble.

You have no idea what this thread has done for me. I checked out that website and the course on self-sabotage stood out to me. I decided to look up self-sabotage online and found that our subconsciousness has these rules and this script it follows and it causes us to choose the choices that make us fail and can even make us sick to avoid succeeding!! We do this because we feel subconsiously that we do not deserve this and these come from traumatic events and such.

I've become alot more intuitive over the last year and so I just asked myself about my own subconscious script and now i know why i haven't gotten better and why I don't feel that i deserve a good life that is full of happiness and joy.

Now I need to go talk to someone about this in person.
