Flow…… Grace & Abundance

Sunday, 09 February 2025               

Day 23066

As we go from moment to moment, the recognition of the life-force or praana that flows through us is most relevant. That is the really subtle energy form that determines the existence of the life within. 

As any physics student will tell you….whenever something is “static” even if it has energy, it is just “Potential” energy. Only when it is mobile and it moves, does it morph into “Kinetic” energy. The sense of movement is vital and that is what we experience as “flow”. A stagnant pool of water v/s a flowing brook or stream will show Life in different forms. 

When the flow becomes easy and smooth, it gives a different experience, something like a laminar flow. If the flow is chaotic and unruly, it is a turbulent flow. Would we not want to experience life in a “grace”full and genteel manner? 

I start my day with this small reminder:

Grace & abundance are all around me. It is this grace & abundance that has made me what I am and it is with me right now

It is this grace & abundance that is helping me to connect with more beings and enabling me to help them Live Life To The Maximum!

And by doing so, I Live Life To The Maximum! 

Lokaa samastha sukhino bhavanthu 

And my first recitation each day is focussed on aligning with THE Flow…. Aligning my miniscule energy with that of the energy all around me.  

Sahana Vavatu, Shanti mantra from Taittiriya, Katha Upanishad and Shvetashvatara Upanishads.

ॐ सह नाववतु ।                                oṃ saha nāvavatu

सह नौ भुनक्तु ।                                  saha nau bhunaktu

सह वीर्यं करवावहै ।                            saha vīryaṃ karavāvahai

तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु मा विद्विषावहै।     tejasvi nāvadhītamastu mā vidviṣāvahai

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥                 oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ

May the divine protect both of us. May the divine nourish both of us (with knowledge). May both of us make effort for the capacity (for knowledge to take place). May what is studied by us, be brilliantly clear. Let not have any misunderstanding. Let there be freedom from three possible obstacles (the forces over which we have no control, adhidaivika; from the beings around us, adhibhautika; or from factors centred on ourselves, adhyatmika.) 

Starting the day with kriyas to activate the flow and eliminate blockages in joints etc…limbering up with upayoga to kick-start the flow. Aligning my posture consciously throughout the day to: “maintain” the flow. 

Remember this always….Recognise that it is not YOU, It is the flow, you are just the medium, the pipe…the conduit…It is grace & abundance flowing thru you that makes your every moment. 

Live Life To The Maximum!
