The flow of life

We came here through our parents. As children of our parents we are connected to something vast that extends backwards in time, through our parents we plug into the current of life, which they plug from their parents, ancestors and so forth.

Sensing the Flow - Meditation

Take a minute and feel the connection or disconnection you have with your parents. Regardless of the story you have about them, feel the relationship and how it affects your body physically. Visualize your biological parents standing in front of you, If you have never met them or cannot visualize them, just let your self sense their presence. Hold the image and ask yourself the following:

  • Do l welcome them or do I shut them out?

  • Do l sense them as welcoming me?

  • Do l experience one differently from the other?

  • Is my body relaxed or tight as I visualize them?

  • If a life-giving force were flowing from them to me, how much of it would be getting through? 5 percent? 25 percent? 50 percent 75 percent? Or a full 100 percent?

Depending on the outcome of these questions people will get a sense of how much life flow they have received from their parents.

These four unconscious themes are what commonly interrupt our flow of life from our parents:

  1. We have merged with a parent.

  2. We have rejected a parent.

  3. We have experienced a break in the early bond with our mother.

  4. We have identified with a member of our family system other than our parents.

These themes may unconsciously affect your vitality, health, success and will also show up in your behaviors and relationships.
