One Apple A Day #575 - alignment and flow
Imagine that you have a field full of crops, and they need water to grow. Luckily for you, there is a big lake close by that can provide all the water that you need. To carry the water where you need it, you build a pipe from the lake to your field. Because there is quite a distance to cover, the pipe is formed by a few segments. Unfortunately, the terrain is uneven, and the parts do not align correctly. As a result, a lot of water goes wasted while flowing from the source to the field, your crops struggle and they don't produce all the fruits they could.
Sometimes, I feel like that pipe struggling to get enough water to the crops.
The lake is the infinite source of my human potential, and the field is the manifestation of that potential in the real world. Only when all the parts of me are aligned, that energy flows freely and fully into my actions. Those parts are my soul, my mind, my heart and my body. When they are not fully aligned, part of my energy goes wasted, and I can't express my full potential.
But when they all aligned, oh dear, I can feel the energy flowing through me like a forceful river.
That is the feeling of "flow" or "being in the zone" to me.
Have you experienced it?
