While riding the
wave of life you also must practice stillness, so you can flow with — rather
than resist the wave’s motion. Our lives are continually in motion, buoyed
by the wave that is the universe’s flow. As the wave rises and falls, we are
carried forward through life’s high and low points. The universe’s flow may
take us to a place in life where we would rather not be. As tempting as it
can be to fight the direction and size of this wave that propels us, riding
the wave is intended to make life easier. When you ride the wave, your life
can evolve naturally and with minimal effort. Riding the wave, however, is
not a passive experience. It is an active process that requires you to be
attentive, centered, and awake. You also must practice stillness, so you can
flow with — rather than resist the wave’s motion. Because life is dynamic and always
changing, it is when we try to make the wave stand still or resist its
direction that we are likely to get pulled under by its weight. If you try to
move against the wave, you may feel as if you are trapped by it and have no
control over your destiny. When you reach a low point while riding the wave
and find your feet touching bottom, remember to stay standing so that you can
leap forward along with the wave the next time it rises. Trying to resist
life’s flow is a losing proposition and costly because you waste energy. Riding the wave allows you to move forward
without expending too much of your own efforts. When you ride the wave, you
are carried by it, and your head can “stay above water” as you go wherever it
takes you. It can be difficult to trust the universe and let go of the urge
to fight life’s flow. You may find it easier if you can stay calm and
relaxed. Riding the wave will always take you where you need to go. |
