Archived Issue #53 - June 2009
Welcome to the June issue of Soul Food!
I'm writing this month's newsletter with song birds birds making a loud
racket as they squabble over seeds at the feeder. They remind me of
humans: when things are bad, we cry about what's bad and when things
are good, we focus on what's missing!
The Buddha taught that this human tendency to reach for what we want
and resist what we don't, is the major cause of human suffering. In
truth, all things unfold in perfect flow. Our sense of lack invariably
stems from the ego's fears and ideas. More about that in the lead article.
In June, I am teaching the popular workshop on Energy Healing again.
If you are subscribed to the workshop mailing list, you'll soon receive
a separate announcement. Otherwise, you can read about it or register on-line.
I am also teaching four mini workshops on finding inner peace, power,
freedom and healing this summer. This is the last time these workshops
are offered this year, so be sure to sign up if you'd like to
participate.
That's it for now. May you flow beautifully with the process of life this month!

Living In The Flow
by Ada Porat
According to the Taoist book of Chuang-Tzu, some pupils of Confucius
saw an old man swimming in a raging torrent when suddenly, he
disappeared. The pupils rushed to save him, but the man reached the
bank entirely unaided.
Asked how he had pulled off this remarkable feat of survival, the man
replied that he had simply let himself go with the descending and
ascending currents in the water. The true Taoist, in other words, molds
his senses, body and mind until they are at one with the currents of
the world without.
In the Hindu Bhagavad Gita, Krishna stressed the need to let go of
resistance in order to stay in the Eternal flow. He said, “You must be
free from the pairs of opposites. Poise your mind in tranquility.”
The flow of water in nature serves as powerful reminder that life
exists in a constant state of ebb and flow. You and I are intimately
connected to this process of flow because our bodies consist of more
than 70% water. Flow is our natural state of being.
To resist the process brings pain; to move along gently with it
facilitates the emergence of your true potential. When you do not trust
the process of life, you’ll fear the future, the outcomes or the
process. That resistance to what you fear blocks the flow of life and
causes stagnation in yourself and in your life; over time it tends to
create the very painful outcomes you have been afraid of!
All spiritual teachings share the principle that we do not have to live
in resistance or fear. Growth in consciousness requires that we learn
how to overcome our resistance to change, because it is rooted in fear.
It is our very resistance to what we fear, that attracts to us what we
fear – yet we can choose to focus on the perfection of the present
moment and flow with that instead.
How can you stay in flow, then? Continue Reading online »
