Dear Ones, we understand that waiting for things to break through into your conscious awareness is one of the most frustrating things for you to navigate. Understanding the traits of the flow will help you identify where you are on your journey.

We have often spoken of how the flow consists of both action and lull periods. This is designed to create overall balance and support. If you were all action all the time you would get things done but you would become exhausted and out of alignment. If you were all lull, you would have plenty of time for introspection, rest, and alignment, but nothing would get done. Each aspect of the flow serves the other and creates a sustainable model of progress.

Typically action phases are preceded by the feeling of impatience, anxiety, and excitement. Lull periods often come with feeling tired, bored, or a lack of interest. Again we refer to taking a flight. During the action phase of going to the airport you are likely feeling excitement and perhaps a little nervous. After takeoff, you shift into the lull phase of your travels. The work part is taken over by the pilots and flight staff, and you get to nap, read, meditate, or watch a movie. You yourself are still while the bulk of the progress is happening. But as you near the end of your flight, you are more than ready to be released from what has felt like a confined space and feel that excitement again as you prepare to launch back into action.

Do you see? How you are feeling and what is energetically supported are indicators of where you are in the flow. Fatigue and a need for introspection and quiet helps you embrace lulls. Feeling antsy, anxious, and excited are a sure sign an action phase is on the way. Both aspects of the flow are equally important and support you in more ways than you realize. And if there is one thing you can count on it is if you have been in one phase for a long period and start to feel the emotions that connect you to the other phase, a change in your flow is sure to come. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
