I woke up this morning with the thought of going with the flow so I decided to write a post about this feeling of flow and how I apply it to my skating and beyond which enables me to feel flow and not just think about flow.
To me; flow is like being, and being to me has no resistance to it.
Water has no resistance when we go with the flow of the water and not fight the water.
Riding waves in the ocean is to me the same as I go with the waves rather than fight the waves or the current of the water.
I have also experienced fighting the water and I almost drown, because I tried pushing and fighting with the water.
Being merely is, and because being merely is the way we apply being in our lives could make a difference as to how we relate our experience of feeling flowwhich to me is lack of friction, and lack of friction has less stress, and brings me peace.
The idea of merely being for some folks feels threatening because resistance seems to be the way we as humans like to process our stuff.
I am also using my heart center to guide me as well as Course in Miracles
Which uses ideas like The Holy Spirit.
We all have this spirit, but call it by different names.
I truly believe that the Holy Spirit is really my imagination.
In my belief system, imagination started everything.
How cool could this be, and how powerful this could be when used to the fullest.
When you discover your imagination, and really use it, your world could change.
Real power to me is gentle, kind, and there is a real sense of flow which to me represents lack of friction.
On the ice, the blades flow, and the friction feels less when my blades feel the flow.
Peace and relaxation are the keys to feeling and following the flow of your life.
This could be why so many people when get out of their own way can do so much with so little forceful effort.
The inner is always quiet as the outer stuff does its dance.
Flow has a language of its own.
Learning about flow to some folks is like learning a new language.

To be in constant flow is amazing. I was experiencing today with putting flow into a smaller space to get power for a take-off in a jump, then allowing it to dissapate into space after the landing. It is like zooming in and out with density of motion energy. It is so cool. Try it.

Uschi, it works with the jumps!
How cool is this. I hope you can read this.
Its the spots and dots, small, bigger, large, space, flowing and floating like a baloon that dissolves itself if that makes any sense.
Love,
