When I distribute the gift of good wishes, positive energy flows through my relationships.

The free flow of energy of any kind is vital to the health of all things. Our blood needs to flow, our breath needs to flow, water needs to flow. The creativity of artists, writers, and musicians needs to flow, for that is when there is harmony and beauty. 

However, as we all know, life, situations, and relationships throw up all kinds of blockages, obstacles, and potholes. Is there something we can do to remove these obstacles? Is there something we can do to guide this desired free flow? Is there something we can stop doing that may be adding to obstructions?

There are specific areas we can explore and work on.

1. Letting go – this is two fold. Either I am holding on to something I need to let go of, like a bird holding on to a branch while flapping its wings expecting to fly. Or something or someone is holding me in its grip. In the first instance, it could be something as simple as a deep-seated belief about myself. Or it could be letting go of a habit that I come to realize is damaging me.

   On the other side, we find ourselves tangled in the web of relationships and situations that make us feel like prisoners. It can feel as if a huge wall is obstructing my moving forward; so high, it seems impossible to surmount. What can I do to free myself? We may choose, or need, to stay, but I then understand that I can see myself beyond the wall; I am not defined by this situation. I may have to stay for one reason or another, but I can keep contentment and peace flowing. Nothing stays the same forever, and there are many things to learn. When the situation eventually ends, then let it be with gratitude for what I have become because of it all.

   Flexibility – and with that, acceptance. A river begins its life high in the mountains as a small, bubbling fountain emerging out of the ground. As it flows through hills and valleys towards the sea, it encounters many obstructions and yet, its destiny is to reach the ocean, and it does. That certainty that the river will meet the ocean can be used by us to elevate our thinking. Wherever I am right now, whatever obstructions appear, I accept that I will eventually reach my destination. On the way I can enjoy the journey; value what I have gained in self-respect as I navigate the world, and share what I have learnt.

   Being undisturbed, anyway – I can learn to be calm and at peace, whatever suddenly appears to block the flow. Whatever disturbances there are, we need to come out of the turbulence and move into damage control. It is important to keep my energy flowing in the direction I would like and return to my peace and calm, not waiting for things or people to change; I do not need to wait for anyone or anything.

All this needs preparation. First, I need to set my intention before starting a task or conversation. What is my intention, what do I want to come out of this, can I generate my highest intention? Setting intention really changes all the feeling with which I do things. I can let my highest energy flow and generate good wishes for those around me.

Secondly – set my practice. How do I want to ‘be’ in that situation. Who am I when I speak to my colleagues, or when I speak to a relative, or when on vacation? Can I keep my energy flowing, distributing the gift of good wishes; the energy of peace? This keeps energy flowing.

Finally, the connection with the source, the Supreme Energy, through meditation. I may be able to use my own spiritual power to a certain extent, but because I am learning, I need to connect heart and mind to the source of love and peace and wisdom, especially when I cannot find the love or energy to face something. Energy flowing from the Supreme Being to me does not just help me, it helps all around me to keep good wishes, spiritual love, and a deep sense of peace flowing in and around all.
