Flow & Alignment

So much talk about flow and alignment and it seems they are interchangeable, but are they? Nope.

You can fake alignment with good flow… but aligned flow is something far powerful than either are independently.

Flow is defined as a “steady continuous stream” of something. Like being on a roll knocking out tasks in the office. And alignment is defined as both “in correct or appropriate relative position” & “a position of agreement or alliance”. to me, this is aka “rule following”. And for those in the energetic space it’s “being connected to source”. Whatever name you give that… Mother Gaia, God, Universe… you are in agreement with your expectations and beliefs connected to that source.

I had a long career in retail that was at times great fun, at times great demand and I’ve had a long career in property management that’s also been at times great fun and at times a great demand. I have had moments of great success & failure in both. And in both I’ve been highly productive. From the outside both paths have appeared to be what I was meant to do. But in truth, although each have served purpose and I landed in each with ease; I had no intention behind either choice. There was no connection between the work and my moral compass or belief system. It was a task list path to a paycheck. But lately, as I’ve been laying the groundwork to the launch of my own business I’ve noticed some undeniable energetics.

For the first time, outside of the office, I was creating something that even stemming off of a framework built by someone else, I was making uniquely mine. And I had follow through. Website is up. The LLC is formed. The membership to the American Association of Drugless Practitioners is in effect. And as things progressed in my personal business development, timelines at the office sped up as well. A redecorating, de-cluttering and re-organizing started and even with the messiness of the progress a lightness began to drift over me. And I realized that my drive to create my own business it’s both to support others and to have the ability to spend my days “working” in an environment that was supportive of my parasympathetic nervous system and pleasing to my eye. And that redesigning/de-cluttering office task load was going to create an office environment that I would find appealing to my eye and with the de-cluttering a support of my parasympathetic nervous system (I’ve never been much at ease seeing clutter or having to work amidst it).

This observation to me, indicated I was in alignment. Not simply with source, but with the essence of who I am. My taking steps to create a life that aligned with my own essence notified the universe that I was ready for my work environment to be peaceful for me. So both of them now will be! And here is where flow really picks up. When you are in a space that you find comfort in, doing something you love (or doing something you simply do well) so much more can be accomplished and with greater ease. And within the energetics of that, more of the same is created.

And here you find the real powerhouse combination of alignment and flow. Independent states that are meant to be married.
