Ebb and Flow

It would be nice to think that life is a straight line - that once you accomplish something you are done and you get to move on to the next thing.

Life isn’t like that.

There are natural cycles of ebb and flow. Each repeating cycle provides lessons so you can learn and evolve spiritually.

When you are in a flow phase, your energy is open and you receive positive reinforcement. Things come together easily and you feel connected and energized.

When you are experiencing flow, it’s a great time to trust your intuition and be bold.

Most of us (myself included) love going through a flow phase.

Going through an ebb phase is a bit different. Life can feel overwhelming and nothing you do seems to work out. You feel like you’ve been in this place before and it’s uninspiring and tedious.

If you find that you are experiencing an ebb during the holidays don’t give up. Here are 3 ways to get through the tough times.

BREATH

During an ebb, you want to align with your spiritual energy. You can use your breath to open up and get yourself flowing again.

Keep it simple. Find a quiet place, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Spend the next five minutes breathing deeply.

If you find your mind wandering - gently bring it back to your breathing. You should feel calmer and less stressed.

CONNECT

Trust that the ebb cycle is here to teach you something. When you’re feeling stuck, sad, lonely, or when you have the feeling that you’re not on the right path, you want to slow down and get reconnected with your soul.

This connection allows you to feel more secure and calm. Tapping back into your energy will help you relax and gain new perspective.

LEARN

Don’t beat yourself up if you find that you have acted out the same pattern once, twice, or so many times that you have lost count. These repeating events give you the opportunity to learn something new about yourself and grow.

Your soul is here to evolve. You might be carrying energy from this lifetime or a previous lifetime. When you realize this, you might resolve a long-standing problem.

Pay attention to what your soul is trying to teach you.
