Riding the waves~ Ebb and Flow~

Relationships can sometimes be as stormy as a tidal wave, with currents so strong that they can take us under, not sure which way is up and down.. and they can also sometimes be as serene and calm as a smooth lake. We may believe that if we are in a relationship with someone we should always love them the same, every day and every moment, although the deeper LOVE is unchanging, the emotional body is constantly in flux.

As beings made primarily of water element we too are experiencing the rivers of change within us, when we honor this flux within ourselves and thus within our relationships we honor this Ebb and flow of current, we begin to allow each other the space to move in closer and then move out...just like the wave...

when we truly can pick up on these subtleties of energy, prana (life force energy) we honor the receptive nature we have and build trust and even deeper vulnerability within our connections...

These currents can be felt like the changing of the seasons or the time of the day, they occur in cycles...sometimes we can feel so close and intimate and others we may feel so far removed...just like the sun and the moon, day and night...these ranges of feelings come in waves...solitude and intimacy, day and night, light and dark...

When we can truly honor these cycles within our own being we can also reflect back our need for both moments of closeness and moments of withdraw.

The more we trust in the ebb and flow the more we can realize that sometimes there is nothing to solve but rather a poignancy in being with what arises in each moment.

Riding the waves, becomes part of the dance, just like sometimes we need to pause to tune in, and allow the energies of tejas, or magnetism to unfold, sometimes we need to connect to the fire within and move with Prana or life force energy.

This energy can be connected to this very cycle of time as we are reflected back this dance between all that is unchanging and all that is ever changing, the beautiful dance of shiva and shakti.

On one hand we want to be stable and connected to all that is unchanging, grounding and and also lean into the tides of change and release old patterns of being...

Let yourself feel everything and then let it all go...

Release who you have known yourself to be, let yourself release old contracts, let go of old stories that keep you locked, give yourself to the unknown...

How can you draw on this wisdom in your own life?

Perhaps solitude is a way for us to source from within and thus connect to our deepest and most authentic self through breath, prayer, mindful walking, meditation...

connecting within reminds us that we are perfect just the way we are—deeply and profoundly loved and lovable, no matter what the status of our relationship is.

Reflective solitude provides a deep grounding and re-charging. It provides clarity–the ability to separate our stuff from our partner’s. Solitude also reconnects us with our dharma or destiny. This allows us to consciously move forward with intentions that will make our dream a reality, rather than being unconsciously carried away with the current.

Remembering we are the dreamer dreaming our dream into being.

i invite you to connect with the first and second Chakra at this time, surrendering to the tides of change and also embracing what is supporting you and giving you sustenance, honoring both...knowing when to hold on, when to let go, when to just be, when to act, when to be ahead, and when to fall behind...trust in the way that you respond to these life impulses...go deeper, retreat, and then fall back in LOVE all over again and go as deep as the Ocean.

The beautiful alchemy of surrender and embrace ...Ebb and Flow.

Attachment and connection, followed by detachment and disconnection. Up and down, back and forth, give and take, push and pull. Such is the rhythm of life—a necessary process to prevent stagnation and promote the evolution of our consciousness.
