I talk a lot about Flow state, and what that means. 

We understand that Flow state is a state of uber connection to the Universe. 
But how can we tell when we're in it? 

The most simply put is this: We know we're in Flow, when we don't feel separate. 

There is a kind of magical expansion that happens when we enter Flow state, where we feel connected to everything all at once. We become so immersed in this enlightened and expanded state, we forget to think all the old thoughts and misbeliefs that so frequently scurry about in heads all day long. 

We are so busy feeling awe and wonder and magic and love, that this is where we exist. 

If you haven't felt expanded in a long time, find something or someone who will take you to this state. It is not expensive or difficult. It is about simply opening up to the marvelous beauty of this extraordinary Universe, and knowing you are part of it all. 

As part of my focus on spiritual growth, I am commited to being in nature as much as I can. This means in all weather!

My favorite form of moving meditation is biking or walking at the nature preserve near my home. Rain, snow, heat—I am out there in all seasons!

It is truly thrilling to be on the path, riding your bike in the snow! It makes you feel like you're 12 years old again—fully yourself and fully connected all at once. 

My experience has been is that there is something about moving meditation in nature that shifts us immediately into a state of pure Flow.

Our thought loops quickly come to front of mind where they can be easily dismissed. We begin to experience a sense of expansion. We open to the many consciousnesses that are always available to us. We begin to exist as soul first, rather than ego or personality. 

It is not just about endorphins either. It is about tuning into nature itself, knowing ourselves as part of it, and dropping deeply into this Flow state. 

Of course, this translates into more Flow state when we come back inside. The more we experience flow, whether this is in meditation or movement or dreams or however we let our selves open, the more this becomes our go-to state. 

As some of you may know, I have devoted this year to my spiritual growth. 

This means I am dropping out of many distractions and duties, and seeking a pure connection to the Universe in all the ways that this can happen. 

I am seeking to clear, heal, let go and release anything that is no longer serving me. I seek to live from soul essence. 

For many years, we have all been releasing "stuff", which has often been our physical stuff, our habits, toxic relationships. This has been a challenging journey, and have all done a good job of this! 

And yet now, there is a deeper level or layer that calls me—and I would guess it calls you too. 

We want to get really clear from all the thought loops, the misbeliefs, the triggers, the past wounds, the old stuff that fills our memories and our minds, and just step forward so we are not living in that place any more at all. 

And we begin to live in freedom, as spiritual beings who truly recognize we are spiritual beings—not the egoic or personality or worldly identity—but truly as souls first.

I don't have a plan, except connecting with the Universe.  I know many of you are on this same path this year, and I look forward to hearing about your experience.

We all have deep karma with many people in this lifetime. 

We might call these karmic crossings, or say we have karma with a person, or in cases of love, we might say someone is our soul mate or even our twin flame. 

The thing to know is this: just because you have karma with someone, does not need you are meant to spend your whole life together. 

Karma means soul lessons learned over time. 
Karma doesn't mean put a ring on it—or whatever phrase you might use to talk about commitment. 

Instead, we are here to work with each other, until we complete our karma—our soul lessons—together. That means:
 
• When we complete our soul lessons, it's normal for the relationship to end. 
• If we are so dysfunctional we can't work on our soul lessons, it's normal for the relationship to end—we'll pick up those soul lessons in the next lifetime. 
• When we can cooperate with someone, we can work on our karmic lessons for many years, even a lifetime. 

If you are looking at someone as a possible soul mate, look past the ideas of how similar you are, or how you're "twin flames".  Look instead at your ability to work with this person, on the karmic lessons you're learning. 

To work with someone at the deepest level requires consideration, coorperation, vulnerability, safety, transparency and respect. Those are the characteristics to look for, when you seek your soul mate. 

It's easy to get into the habit of feeling we're lost. 

We don't know what to do next. 
We're not sure where we're going.
We don't understand our path. 

However, these statements are incorrect. 
You're actually not lost. 
You're right here. 

You can never be lost on your path, because your karmic way is always unfolding or revealing before you—it's the red thread of destiny, and it's impossible for you to miss anything you need to do or experience, anyone you need to meet or be with, anything you're here to understand. 

The Universe leads you to that, without fail. 
So you can never be lost. 

You can however, be in a state of waiting for what's next. This can feel like being lost. 
Remember: we are not here to hurtle through life doing, doing, doing one thing after another with never a moment to pause and reflect and integrate. 

If you think you're lost, you're not. 
You're just integrating what's happened already. 
Your next step will be clear soon. 

"There is only one path to suffering and this arrives from the belief that separation is real. Nothing can be healed with this understanding. 

There is only one path to joy, and this arrives from the belief that Oneness is real. Everything can be created with this understanding. 
 
As you reject the misbelief of separation and accept the truth of Oneness, you begin to notice that you have turned a corner. By you we mean collectively. By you we mean all souls. By you we mean all of you: human, animal, plant, all sentient beings. We also include non-sentient beings for they are also part of One. We also include multidimensional beings including those from other galaxies and those in etheric realms for they are also part of One. 
 
Every aspect of everything is One, and you are beginning to know this. Not intellectually, as you once did. But as a feeling, a truth. You feel it in your heart now, and you know that others are feeling it too. You have collectively turned a corner, because you are finally beginning to sensing each other, and you are beginning to understand your Oneness. Collective soul is recognizing itself!  It has taken generations to get here! It has taken profound evolution, and the continued support of all those beings who are working nonstop to assist you.

Many in the Universe understood Oneness long before humanity began, but each community of souls evolves in its own time, and humanity is also evolving. You now have collectively turned a corner, and by this we mean Oneness is in the air. It is in the vibe. It is the flavor of the day. It is in every noticing and every event and every synchronicity. It is in the great swelling up of collective activism, of collective inclusion, and of collectively turning from the old ways of drama and destruction. 
 
Relax into this new sense of Oneness. Trust it. Align with it. Work with it. This is how things will be from now on. Oneness is here, and collective soul is sensing it, and there is no going back into darkness. 
 
What is Stuck Falls Away
 
You are currently being asked to release relationships and situations that many of you never thought would end. The Universe is moving very quickly in this process, preparing for The Aquarian Age. This grand releasing means that everything that is not meant to stand will no longer stand. This is going to happen fast. It may have happened already.

What is over will disappear. Walls will tumble. Coalitions will fall. Relationships will end. The big structures will groan and shift and dissolve into nothingness. This is true on the big scale, on the world stage. It is also true on the personal stage, the stage of your own life. Everything that has not yet fallen away that needs to fall away, will disappear soon. Everything that is stuck will disappear. There is nothing anyone can do to stop this. It is the natural order to release and make room. What is new is arriving even now. 
 
This releasing is something you did not expect. You may be shocked! Yet even as this releasing happens, at whatever level it happens to you—on the world stage or on the personal stage—you recognize at a soul level that it is necessary. You know this, and yet the speed at which the release is happening may be disconcerting or even uncomfortable to you. You may feel you are in a dream, all of these structures and constructs and identities disappearing so quickly—did they ever really exist at all? Did you really live in that paradigm? Were you really that person? Was it really how life was? The dream feeling will pass, as you orient yourself to this new expansion.
 
The other difference in this releasing, is that even though you did not see this change coming, or not all of it, even in the middle of the confusion of the loss of structures and identities, you see a new way. It is thrilling! There is a great relief in finally being able to follow what is true! There is a great relief to look around and see so many other souls also sensing this Oneness, also sensing this releasing of the old and this growing toward the new, and the knowing you are doing it together.
 
At last, collective soul knows itself. Soul recognizes itself as One soul. It has been many generations, many centuries, to bring this about on Earth. Now, this year, as everything shifts and shakes and resettles in new patterns, you recognize this is the beginning of the new paradigm, and you also have the knowing that what is new is connected, whole and streaming with Light. There is no fear here. It’s what you’ve been waiting for. It’s why you came here. It is something collective soul is doing together."
