Hello There!
Are you Ready to R.O.W. into F.L.O.W.??? Hope So…:-)!
I often get asked “What is the one thing that is on top of the list of requirements for people to get into the flow of everyday life?”. My answer is “We gotta ROW before we can FLOW”! R.O.W. means we have to be Ready Open Willing to take the optimal steps to clear the way to the type of flow we are wanting to create more of in our life. Once that commitment is made…the F.L.O.W. (Free, Loving, Open, Wonderment) actually already begins!! We need only be ready, open, and willing to take the guided steps into the next phase of our “in the flow” journey…
Sometimes that ROWing may take us through some rough waters! However, it is truly how we respond to the waves that allows us to stay in the flow…no matter what shows up!
When we intentionally step out of the chaotic mind games and observe ourselves (even when we are in those rough patches) and tap into our Heart-Center for guidance, the journey can become a playful game of curiosity, connection, and creation…
OK…you may be saying to yourself “OH REALLY…suffering is part of life and this is what gets me where I want to go…gotta suffer, gotta go to those deep dark places, gotta be hard, gotta gotta gotta???” I totally get that this may be your experience and it may be your purpose in life. And…it may be the most optimal way for you to live life’s waves. And…I truly do honor and respect the choices and directions people take on their life’s path…
And…in my experience and the experience of many of my ROWing Clients…these types of “gotta’s” have been seen as beliefs that are ready open and willing to be cleared in New World Ways. Suffering and dark nights may be what we were taught or forced to believe is necessary to create the life we were born to live. However, if some ‘thing’ does not feel like it is serving us any more in the now (no matter who spoke about it or wrote about it as truth) it may be time to take another look, check in with our heart’s intuition, and explore other possibilities… We truly do have choices to clear old habits/patterns/beliefs, calm the waves, and move on to the next phase of our human experience…in the flow of it all…
Trust Me…My R.O.W. took me to and through some rough waters for sure! However, it is when I began to see these rough waters as stepping stones and ways to bring beautiful transformations, clarity, and flow into my life that I became grateful for them. I started enjoying the ride more and more and more… Sometimes even bringing in the oars and riding the waves…WHEEEEE!
As I continued to practice being in observing mode, I began to notice the waves in a different way. I became aware of them…felt them splashing away…and then addressed them…before they got to the deep dark dungeons of diving despair! Typically, this renewed awareness brought me to a playful place of FLOW (Free, Loving, Openness, Wonderment) in order to take the next guided step in calming the wave that just popped up! In other words, brought the calm before the storm could even manifest…
Are you in R.O.W. mode? Are you ready to step into F.L.O.W. mode? One of the most exciting and rewarding things I do in my practice is help people avoid the deepest, darkest, dungeons of diving despair by catching it early, addressing it playfully, and then moving into creating more of what they want in their personal or professional life… Whether you are in a dark place or feel stuck or want to discover creative ways to catch the next waves before they become a storm, feel free to contact me to schedule a FREE 33 Minute “Discover your Next Step” Consultation!
Thanks for taking the time to read this message! Here is a little Secret: Since you read it all the way to this sentence…you are most likely already in ROW mode…YAY FOR YOU!!!
Until Next Time…Have Fun ROWing with the waves and Letting Go to the FLOW…
In Appreciation and Joy,
Kathy Larsen
