<p>People often want to know how to get started Flowdreaming. So, I&#8217;ve put together the simple program that follows.</p>
<p>The technique of Flowdreaming has three components:</p>
<p>1. Awareness of Flow energy</p>
<p>2. Strong, directed emotion</p>
<p>3. Guided daydreaming</p>
<p>First, remember that your mind or consciousness is already adrift in this Flow. After all, it’s<em> made</em> of this energy. Your brain creates, stores, and synthesizes data, but it does so more like a quantum computer would—using quantum Flow energy instead of regular electricity. So your mind is already in the Flow, at all times. But you need to convince yourself of it, so this where guided daydreaming comes in. When you daydream, your mind seems to “detach itself” from your exterior surroundings. It “goes” somewhere, and you often don’t even realize it. Well, instead of “drifting off” unaware into a fantasy, in Flowdreaming, you pay attention to where you’re going. You still drift—but you watch where you’re drifting, similar to having a lucid dream.</p>
<p>This means you close your eyes, and let your mind wander. Daydream. Bring up an image that makes you think about the concept of Flow. Maybe you see a beautiful, winding river of light with an internal “aliveness” so it knows exactly where it’s going. Or, you see a starry sky with a glittering path that weaves through space, surrounded by strings of light energy moving in and out of complex and beautiful patterns all around you. Or maybe you see an ocean of light, with a current that tugs and pulls you gently toward a perfect destination.</p>
<p>Put yourself into this place, and<em> feel this direction,</em> like a bird on the wind. Feel yourself carried. Feel how expansive this place is. Feel how it’s the place “before” everything you see around you. It’s the germination point. The blueprint or matrix <span id="more-204"></span>of it all.</p>
<p>Give your mind plenty to see and feel here. This isn’t mediation. Don’t clear your mind. <em>Open it</em>—see, feel, and hear whatever images, emotions, or sounds that come to you. People with very busy, creative minds love this aspect of Flowdreaming.</p>
<p>The next part of Flowdreaming has to do with emotion. So, you know what Flow is, and you’ve “daydreamed” what this place is like. Now, how do you communicate with it? What kind of paint do you use on this canvas? You use your emotion.</p>
<p>Emotion is the universal language—not just between all mankind, but within the universe itself. A thousand words can’t describe the immensity of one single, strong feeling. The Flow responds to emotion as if you were to drop food coloring into clear water. What you feel, your Flow becomes. If you feel joy, your Flow radiates that joy all through it, and the physical things that manifest in your future must somehow align or support that joy. If you feel “release,” then your future holds opportunities for you to let go of things. If you feel rich (and the feelings of safely, relief, and excitement the idea of “rich” generates in you), then your future has been coded for more of these feelings and will generate opportunities for you to experience them.</p>
<p>I call this emotional communication method, “pre-action.” Unlike <em>re-</em>action, which is what we do 90% of the time, <em>pre-</em>action means that we’ve given ourselves permission to feel an emotion before there is any triggering event in our life to justify that feeling. For example, in reality, let’s say you’re ill and usually feel tired, heavy, depressed, and sick. You react to your illness with those heavy emotions all day long.</p>
<p>But you want to change that. So, you might go in your Flow and feel radiantly healthy, alive, and full of energy. You are pre-acting what you want to feel in your future. If you feel happy, light, freed, and healthy in your Flow, you are tasking the universe to figure out a way to translate that into your physical life. Your flow must then <em>match you.</em> Your Flow <em>must </em>match your exterior state to your interior state<em>.</em> So changing your interior Flow through pre-action forces your exterior life to match whatever has been pre-acted in the interior.<em> </em>Now you may have heard of this idea before: that <em>you are what you think.</em> However, you’re doing more than just thinking here: you are<em> being</em> it, in your Flow—the genesis point.</p>
<p>So here you are, in a Flowdream. You imagine or daydream what you think the Flow looks like. And unlike most daydreams, at first it feels odd, since you are aware of yourself doing this (whereas daydreams just “happen”). And so you might feel a little self-conscious. You might be saying to yourself, “What do I do next?” You might worry that you’re not “deep enough” in.</p>
<p>I say, relax. Flow. Daydream. Allow yourself a few minutes or however long it takes before your mind lets go of its self-consciousness. Create a picture in your mind of the Flow—however it presents itself to you. Then begin to feel, or pre-act, your goals and desires. Feel the emotions of them, not the actual “things” that you’re desiring.</p>
<p>In other words, if you want a wonderful new romantic relationship, feel how you are deliriously happy. Sense a “presence” with you in your Flow, a partner, and how you’re adored. Don’t spend time on how this person looks. Don’t think about how you’ll meet. Don’t worry that this person hasn’t arrived yet. Let your Flow figure all that out. That’s the job of your Flow—to look at all the infinite possibilities present every moment as our futures are all rolling rapidly forward, and it weaves in the most accurate, perfect route or path to fulfill whatever emotional directive (blueprint) you’ve given it.</p>
<p><em>This is really important: </em>Flow does the <em>how, where,</em> and <em>when</em>. Your job is to describe the <em>what. </em>You are the designer—your Flow is the builder. You can’t possibly forecast all the potential ways that a situation could develop in your life. The logistics are mind-boggling. But Flow has no physical limitation. It simply hears and responds, using itself as the medium to fulfill your wishes. If you want a better job, it “hears” your desire as a call for security, happiness, appreciation, and abundance in the form of income—then looks at all the flows of possibilities out there. Businesses and corporations all have their individual “flows,” or energy signatures. Every person has their Flow. Events have a flow of energy. Thoughts are flows of energy. Combine people, events, and thoughts . . . and there are so many ways situations can come together.</p>
<p>This means that when you Flowdream, don’t say or feel things like, “This is so unrealistic! How can this possibly happen?” Whatever you put in your Flow is what you are telling your Flow to do for you. Put in worry or doubt, and you’ll receive that back in your life. Put in feelings of fulfillment, or that your prayers have been answered, and your Flow can do that <em>just as easily</em>. You can see why so many people’s lives are filled with misery, bitterness, and unhappy events. They expect them, so they receive them.</p>
<p>You have to pretend you are reading a novel. You “daydream” just like you see the characters in your head. You feel or express emotion just like you feel your characters’ thoughts and feelings. You become the story; you believe the story. You don’t sit there the whole time telling yourself “it’s just a pretend story.” No, you give yourself up to it. Do this with your Flowdream.</p>
<p>And that’s it! 1) Flow, 2) strong emotion, and 3) guided daydreaming. Bring all three together, and you have a powerful tool.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re working with one of my CDs, then you&#8217;ll notice that each track on the Flowdreaming CD is specifically targeted to an area of your life. The second track on many of the CDs, Positive Flow, is particularly important. This track aligns you with your Flow in every possible good way. This means that whatever is stuck, out of balance, or not working in your life will be impacted in a beneficial way.</p>
<p>The other tracks pinpoint whatever situation you want to focus on. So, you don’t need to play a whole CD at once. You can and should play just one or two tracks at a time, as you work on just one or two situations at a time.</p>
<p>Flowdreaming is flexible. You can do it everyday, or twice a day, or once a week&#8230;whatever feels right. The more you do it, however, the more organizing and programming you’re doing. Here is what I suggest:</p>
<p>Days 1, 2 and 3:   Play Positive Flow once a day.</p>
<p>Days 3, 4, 5, 6:   Play any track, twice a day. You can choose the same track for both sessions, or different tracks for each, depending if you want to work on just one or several situations in your life.</p>
<p>Days 7 and beyond. Vary it. Sometimes play Positive Flow, and other times play a different track. Do it once or twice a day depending on your schedule.</p>
<p>You can also move on to other CDs in this series, and mix in tracks from those. You can find a complete list here: www.flowdreaming.com.</p>
<p>And yes, if you have more than one CD, you can Flowdream for several different things at once (such as lots of money <em>and</em> great health). Switch up your focus whenever it feels right.</p>
<p>Now, select a track, and start Flowdreaming! All my best wishes go with you. And please, contact me any time to share your comments and experiences.</p>

<p>Flowdreaming is a technique that lets you reshape your world—<em>literally</em>. It’s not meditation, or hypnosis, or based on positive affirmations or any other kind of program you may already know. It’s <em>unique,</em> and its purpose is to help you access the creative, energetic “underside” of life, so you can sculpt and direct your future.</p>
<p>It’s a big promise, but once you learn this technique, it will feel so simple and natural that you’ll wonder how you never knew about it before.</p>
<p><strong>What Is Flow?</strong></p>
<p>Flow is like a net or ocean of energy that runs over, under, around, and through everything in our Universe. It’s an energy of <em>information,</em> or a giant collection of data about everything that is, was, or potentially may be. And this net of energy or “information” has its own kind of internal, intrinsic awareness.</p>
<p>Imagine if every single thing in our universe had an inner understanding of what it was, or an awareness of its internal structure, or a consciousness of itself, on some very deep level. And all this consciousness put together—all this collected information or awareness— is what everything is actually <em>made of</em>. The physical things in life (apples, TVs, thoughts, wind) are just expressions of this awareness that take a physical form.<span id="more-200"></span></p>
<p>Some things, like paper airplanes, have no obvious awareness of what they are, but there’s an intrinsic “something”—a template—that makes the airplane stay an airplane. It has an internal blueprint, so to speak, and this blueprint or template is constantly changing as it continually recreates itself as it moves through time. It is slightly different every second, as the atoms within it move and decay. And so this paper airplane has a trail of information about itself from its past to its future. From the time it was part of a tree (and the tree grew from the earth, and back ever farther) to whatever will happen to it after it’s thrown in the trash—it’s in a state of becoming, and everything that its ever been is recorded. Every single way it has changed is documented in the flow of data. This, then, becomes the information that makes up the personal “flow” of this paper airplane.</p>
<p>Now imagine everything in the universe—even <em>you</em>—with a flow of information about itself, just like this plane. This is your personal Flow, and you can see how all our Flows of “being” are all constantly interacting and changing. This is the stuff we want to affect as we learn to manifest.</p>
<p>The way that we affect this energy is with our minds. Today, there’s a quantum theory of interconnectedness that tells us that when someone thinks about something, they actually affect whatever it is they’re thinking about, or observing. This becomes a problem for scientists who want to objectively measure quantum information. They simply can’t, because by merely observing a phenomena, they become part of the phenomena—a participant in it.</p>
<p>It’s similar to when your friend is thinking about calling you on the phone, and you “sense” it a moment before the call. From the moment she thought about you, your friend becomes part of your phenomena—your Flow. The fact that you register it in your awareness, that you “pick up” on her intention, means that somehow, the two of you are connected. Even though you’re not in the same room, you’re still sharing information, instantly, with one another. Your minds or consciousness are both part of Flow energy, where everything is instant and connected. When you think and feel something, it instantly blooms into existence, both within the Flow (as new data being generated and recorded) <em>and </em>within your physical reality (as a thought inside your head). Your new Flowdreaming practice will show you how to begin creating new data in the Flow that will translate itself into your physical reality.</p>
<p>Ultimately, Flowdreaming is the technique that lets us become aware of our constant coding of this data. Like someone writing a computer program, we write the code of our future through our constant interaction with this cosmic, quantum web of information. We aren’t passive bystanders, we are active consciousnesses, helping to create and shape everything around us, all the time, through our thinking.</p>
<p>Incidentally, many physicists have also quietly come to the same conclusion. They believe that we are all connected somehow, to a vast web of life—a kind of cosmic awareness.  Scientists as diverse as founder of Jungian psychology, Carl Jung, to Nobel laureate physicist Eugene Wigner, have all suggested that our universe has within it a kind of cosmic or overarching consciousness—and all our smaller minds, or consciousnesses, are a part of this.</p>
<p>Not only does Flow seem to have an internal awareness, but another distinctive quality is its <em>direction</em> or path. Like most natural phenomena, our Flows are always traveling the path of least resistance in a particular, expansive  and forward-moving direction that mirrors the evolutionary movement of life. Like water to the sea, your life should be easy, flowing, and in tune with this natural rhythm. You should always be expanding and adding to your awareness, as a matter of nature. And like water that never struggles to reach the sea, when you&#8217;re in your Flow, you too travel a path of ease and direction. In a riverbed, obstacles are temporary, and there&#8217;s a force (gravity) that always realigns the water into the easiest, most direct path to its destination. You&#8217;re likewise pulled by the force of your Flow toward your path of ease, evolution, expansion, upward direction, and fulfillment of your desires through any means the Flow has available for you.</p>
<p>Next, the Flow is <em>malleable. </em>This means that it responds to our thoughts and desires. It does what we ask, or think. We can shape or direct Flow energy by filling it with our intention or desire in the form of emotion.</p>
<p>You see, mostly, we go through life not paying any attention to what thoughts, feelings, and directives we’re sending into our Flow, so we get what we get is based on some “default” baseline already present inside ourselves. We give all of our attention to the physical side of life, and very little to programming this interior side. But when you go into your Flow (or open your awareness to it) through Flowdreaming, you enter or become more aligned with this pure, malleable energy, and you can insert your desires into this flowing fabric so that your physical life then has to follow the template you’ve created there. It’s all about making new templates, or blueprints, just how you want them.</p>
<p>So there you have it: Flow energy is the <em>living energy of the cosmos.</em> It&#8217;s responsive, aligned, and growth-oriented and expansive. It&#8217;s malleable or sculpt-able, and it encompasses all the information that is, was, or ever will be. It includes all of our consciousnesses, <em>and</em> the &#8220;awarenesses&#8221; or spirits of a vast number of other kinds of &#8220;beings&#8221; that have also evolved from Source energy. To Christians, it&#8217;s is the stuff of God&#8211;His toolbox&#8211;and it&#8217;s for you to use and learn from. To all others, it&#8217;s simply the most extraordinary material you can use to paint your existence into being. Become an artist with Flow energy, and make your<em> life </em>your creation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I receive a variation of this question about fate and destiny almost weekly. Here&#8217;s what came to my inbox this week:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hi Summer,</p>
<p>I am excited to be writing to you. I just discovered Flowdreaming ten minutes ago, and I wanted to ask something. My Flow is equal to my thoughts and my emotions, and they tell the universe what I want. I understand that. I&#8217;m at a point in my life where I&#8217;m learning about Law of Attraction . . . but I do not fully grasp the difference between what God intends for you compared to what you want and gain for yourself. Could you help me please? —Lavana</p></blockquote>
<p>Lavana, when you awaken to the idea that you are a powerful creator within your own life, this can bring up a conflict in your mind. You wonder, <em>How can I create if some things were already pre-planned for me? Y</em>ou might think some events or people are there by fate, karma, or because it is God&#8217;s plan.<span id="more-51"></span></p>
<p>What I&#8217;ve seen over the years is this: when you begin looking at your life from a pure energy perspective, it&#8217;s like looking out at a super-highway, with a million &#8220;lanes&#8221; of light in front of you. You&#8217;re more likely to speed down some of these lanes than others, based on where you want to go, and what roads you&#8217;ve already put yourself on.</p>
<p>So things do come to you with a feeling of inevitability sometimes—because you&#8217;ve been cultivating (or driving down) that path, probably unknowingly, for a long, long time. Think of the energy of all your thoughts, actions, and feelings spooling out ahead of you in life. These arcs of energy pull in things complementary to what you&#8217;re now experiencing. When you begin to consciously change these arcs or paths of energetic attraction, you&#8217;re purposely swerving into a new lane.</p>
<p>If you say, <em>What has God planned for me?</em> then from a full Flowthinking perspective, you would rephrase that question instead to say, <em>What new experiences can I give to God?</em>There&#8217;s a lot of depth behind this question, which I fully answer in chapters 8, 9, and 10 of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Flowdreaming-Manifesting-Dreams-Already/dp/1401920233/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1233415766&amp;sr=8-1">Creative Flowdreaming.</a> God is not planning <em>for </em>you; God is receiving <em>from </em>you. God is curious to know what kinds of experiences you bring to It, and what you&#8217;ll make from the sandbox of physical life It has given to you. (You can also learn more about this perspective through <a href="http://www.flowdreaming.com/shop/p51/God-Is-Always-Happy/product_info.html">this CD,</a> which I made with my mother, Venus.)</p>
<p>If you believe that you are here for a reason, or to meet a soul mate, or for some other destined event, then ask your own Greater Self when, where, and how this desire will fruit for you. Ask God, too, to allow this new experience to flow easily into your life. Don&#8217;t wait for <em>God&#8217;s</em> plan, make your own and offer it up to God.</p>
<p>It may take awhile for this new understanding of destiny to settle in. But after awhile, you&#8217;ll come to see how fate, prophesy, and destiny are merely strong potentials that may or may not come into play in your life, like an ace or a deuce turning up in your hand of cards. This is good thing, because it means you can now work <em>with </em>God and come into an understanding of the godliness in yourself, instead of being at the mercy <em>of</em> God, when designing your own life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is the email that popped up in my inbox this morning. </p>
<p>&#8220;I have been listening to the Prosperity Challenge for awhile now. . . . And prosperity is starting to appear in my life!  . . . As of late, I&#8217;m listening to tracks from Prosperity Challenge at work, on the train, in the car, during emails, multi-tasking. I know it&#8217;s not the same as participating and creating in the Flowdream, but I <em>feel </em>your words and am sort of assimilating them thru osmosis. And it&#8217;s GOOD. I am much more self-aware of my thoughts, projections, intentions, possibilities than ever before. </p>
<p>My question is: Do we need to be <em>careful </em>when listening and multi-tasking? If I found I&#8217;m irritated by my co-worker or get impatient with something while listening casually, are these things going into my flowdream and creating more of <em>that</em> outcome? I feel I can go into the flowdream a lot quicker now than in the beginning so it seems easier to put <em>any </em>thought and feeling into the flowdream, even when not fully engaged. What do you think? Should one be <em>careful</em> with that?&#8221;</p>
<p>Here is my answer, Dina. I&#8217;ll share it as a story.<span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p>Last week, I returned from a <a href="http://www.hayhouseradio.com/show_details.php?show_id=118&amp;episode_type=2">work-related radio taping</a> in Massachusetts. My employees and I were in the airport, waiting for our connecting flight. Problem was, our first plane had had mechanical failure, and we&#8217;d missed it the connection, and were now on standby for the next flight out.</p>
<p>During the two hour wait, we drank some beers and talked. At one point, we had a really interesting conversation about <a title="Cern Homepage" href="http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/LHC-en.html">CERN</a>, the giant Hadron collider in that spans the borders of Switzerland and France. Basically, it&#8217;s a giant atom smasher that recently went offline due to mechanical problems. </p>
<p>I love this kind of thing. Physics fascinates me, and I became quite emotionally involved in the conversation. </p>
<p>Shortly after this, we all decided that we should Flowdream that the rest of our flight home would be easy, joyful, and work out just the way we wanted. We held hands in the bar and closed our eyes, and I&#8217;m sure to everyone we looked like a kooky prayer circle with me talking aloud, while having beers. (I can only imagine!)</p>
<p>Then the airport PA announced that we would <em>not</em> be flying out home that evening—we&#8217;d be stranded in Chicago. <em>What was going o</em>n, we wondered? Were we in our flow <em>or not?</em></p>
<p>We chose flights out the next day. I chose the earliest flight out, even though I had to make two connections en route. My other employee chose a later, direct flight.</p>
<p>As I sat in my airplane&#8217;s seat the next morning, I casually glanced at the passenger next to me. His work was open before him, and there it was in big government-y looking letters: CERN. <em>You are kidding,</em> I said to myself.</p>
<p>So I had to ask, and yep, you guessed it, he was a particle physicist whose work involved the giant Hadron collider. In fact, his trip <em>directly involved</em> active work with this collider. He even made a phone call, in Swiss or possibly German, to a colleague while he sat by me.</p>
<p>Now, what are the chances&#8230;millions to one, maybe? What confluence of events made me miss two planes, and shortly after, with thousands of flights and passengers to possibly schedule me on, plopped me right beside a man whose profession embodied the spirt of my very emotional conversation, which I&#8217;d had immediately prior to Flowdreaming?</p>
<p>I can see now what happened. While I had wanted a smooth, quick trip home, what my Flow <em>really</em> heard from me was the excitement of my conversation. It heard my feelings, and like I always say, <em>emotion is the language of Flow</em>. My words said one thing, but my feelings had said another, so my Flow rounded up a matching situation by offering me a direct experience of talking with this physicist about the Hadron collider.</p>
<p>Now it gets even weirder&#8230;my coworker and his wife told me the next day about what an excellent flight home they&#8217;d had! &#8220;Fantastic! We went first class!&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;What do you mean,&#8221; I said, &#8220;did you get an upgrade? Did you ask?!&#8221;</p>
<p>Anyone who flies today knows that airlines never just bump you up to first class anymore.</p>
<p>&#8220;No,&#8221; he said, &#8220;the ticket just spit out that way. It was an accident. We, uh, didn&#8217;t say anything about that to the airline.&#8221;</p>
<p>So there you go, Dina. Your answer is Yes. Flowdreaming is powerful, and potent. If you listen passively but unemotionally, you&#8217;re going to stimulate your subconscious to be <em>open</em> to receive all that you generate for yourself in the Flow. But if you <em>enter</em> the Flow when feeling emotion, then what you broadcast will be picked up to sprout for you, like dandelion seeds in the wind finding fertile ground.</p>
<p>What usually happens is that people only begin to enter the Flow state so easily and quickly when it becomes habitual&#8230;this means a certain amount of practice, familiarity, and control. So making mistakes in it is rare. However, if you do enter it, and accidentally broadcast irritation or upset, like you mentioned, then cultivate the ability to<em> release. </em>When you become aware of whatever negative feelings you accidentally sent out, do a correcting measure by feeling those same feelings flowing away behind you, disappearing and being washed away. Then, you&#8217;ve set up or conditioned a new energetic response to irritation in your life: You&#8217;ve said, <em>When I experience fear, worry, or irritability, it washes away from me, and never impacts my life.</em></p>
<p>Good luck with your Flowdreaming Dina! And keep me posted.</p>

<p>People often wonder how the soul, mind, and body &#8220;go together.&#8221; Here is a graphic that illustrates the connection, as seen from a Flow perspective. Note that some of you may relate &#8220;soul&#8221; as your Higher Self. I prefer to use the term &#8220;Greater You.&#8221;<span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p>You are much bigger than you think. In fact, you go way beyond your physical body. Your body is just the very edge of the ultimate You, like the skin of an orange. Instead of seeing your body, mind, and soul as three separate and distinct things, instead think of them as gradations of energy along a vast spectrum, existing simultaneously along this continuum of energy—the Flow.</p>
<p>These “you”s exist on finer and finer levels, from the outside, visible You (your body) to the inner, invisible You (your mind and spirit). Your consciousness is a bridge between these levels. During your day, your consciousness is both present in your brain and at the same time is receiving a huge amount of information from the part of itself that exists in the Flow—in other words, in these finer vibratory frequencies.</p>
<p>When you purposely move into the Flow, you are moving into and aligning yourself more firmly within life’s finer energy fields, where reality takes shape at its most basic level. Every time you think, you are moving in and out of these finer fields at a quantum level. <a href="http://www.flowdreaming.com">Flowdreaming</a> allows you to expand your access to these finer fields, where the world as we know is first thought into reality.</p>

<p>Let&#8217;s do a thought experiment. Take a look at your hand. You know that it’s made up of tissues, blood, and bones. You may further realize that these things are each made of tiny cells, which are in turn made of minute proteins which are constructed from DNA and RNA . . . which are themselves made from molecules . . . which come from atoms . . . which come from . . . what?</p>
<p>Squint now . . . what comes next? Pretend that you’re seeing your hand down at its most basic level. It’s not solid at all, is it. See how there’s so much space between the atoms? What’s in that space? Nothing, you say? Emptiness? Empty space? Is that really what you’re made of?<span id="more-13"></span></p>
<p>This is where most people leave it. Good enough, they say. After all, what good is it to know more? Ninety-nine percent of us, no matter what our religion or philosophical bent, have been taught to believe in the doctrine of “dualism”: that your mind and soul are completely separate from your body. Mind and matter occupy different realms, and baby, they don’t tango. Whatever’s in that empty space is not for me to know. It’s some fuzzy border reality between matter and . . . what, God? Oh right, we don’t want to know.</p>
<p>So what’s wrong with this old way of thinking? It’s just not working for us anymore.</p>
<p>Our 400-year-old way of thinking, based on Descartes vision way back in the 1600s of “two realms” of existence, has broken down under the scrutiny of today’s quantum physics.</p>
<p>Mind and matter are becoming much harder to keep separate. In fact, the more you try to keep them apart, the more they seem to want to work together. Of course, for hundreds of years, Spiritualists and other forward-thinking groups have been suggesting that your mind and matter are really made of the same invisible stuff, and just like when you stick your finger in a pool of water and see the ripples moving away, when you think something, it can’t help but affect the matter (the world) around you. In fact, you really can’t separate them. Every thought you have disturbs the “water” around it in one way or another . . . for good or ill.</p>
<p>“Oh right,” said the old-guard scientists. “Your mind is only good for OBSERVING the matter around you, it can’t really affect it.” </p>
<p>“Not so,” say a surprising group of new scientists—from physics professors to mathematicians to biologists. A growing number are saying, “Well, your mind affecting your world—even creating your world—wouldn’t really contradict the laws of science after all, since these laws are evolving right under our noses . . . in fact it helps explain a lot of things!”</p>
<p>Like what? How about premonition. And intuition. And luck. And how like-attracts-like AND how “opposites attract.” And how you “know” when certain things will happen, and when they won’t. It’s how your dog knows to be waiting for you when you walk in the door, and how ”the strangest coincidences&#8221; occur in your life. It’s how being near a healthy, positive person can cause an ill person to get well . . . or vice versa. It’s how you suddenly think of your friend the minute the phone rings, and it’s her.</p>
<p>Oh, we’re on to something very big, indeed.</p>
<p>So what does this mean to the “two realms” theory? It’s gone the way of the dinosaur. Today, we’ve begun talking about the Zero-Point Field. and multi-dimensional space. And for this little thought experiment, the most important thing . . . a new way of looking at your own mind.</p>
<p>Are you still with me in this thought experiment? Great! It’s time to shift gears and start thinking about your mind. If you grew up in a Western culture, you probably thought of your body as your physical self, your mind as mostly your brain circuitry and emotional makeup (with maybe a touch of something else, not sure what, but some kind of “higher consciousness”—again not sure where that exactly resides—might be in the brain, might not), and finally a soul, which definitely exists on another plane of existence, and which is really hard to connect to, but some part of it, at least, is either connected to your body or somehow lodged in the physical—again, not sure how or where, somehow our religion just skipped over that detail. <br />
A lot of vague stuff here, isn’t there? About the only clear-cut thing is the soul/body split. That’s pretty firm. Except it isn’t. Not to a whole new generation of scientists and philosophers. </p>
<p>So put that old model aside, and let’s think about a new one. In this model, you, your entire YOU, are like a string of musical notes, from the lowest, low note to the highest high note. So high and so low, in fact, that you can’t see or hear where they begin or end. You can hear some of these low notes—the ones that make up your physical body. They’re made up of the atoms and molecules in your body. </p>
<p>But now let’s go up the scale. The midtones are your mind. Hmmmmm. Hear their sounds? All day long, as thoughts, inspiration, dreams, breakthroughs, deja vu. And the highest notes, the ones that are just out of your hearing (because after all, the lowest notes of your body only have a limited spectrum that can “hear”) are your soul.</p>
<p>Another way of looking at your body, mind, and soul is as a continuum of frequencies. Frequencies are simply measurements of waves. As physics professor Goswani puts it, frequencies are simply “how fast a wave wiggles.” Just about everything can be measured in terms of frequencies. Light frequencies make up both visible and invisible spectrums. You can see red light as the color red. But you can’t see ultraviolet light—that’s the light that gives you a sunburn. Sounds also travel in frequencies. Dogs hear frequencies that we can’t. Our radios and cell phones pick up frequencies that are around us all the time—all through the air—that we can’t hear. <br />
My point is that our physical bodies are very limited in perceiving frequency spectrums, or wave energy. But because we can’t hear or see it does not mean that, say, TV signals don’t exist. </p>
<p>In fact, all life—everything in our solar system, is made of wave energy at its source. You are, I am, and so is the computer you are looking at right now. This background wave energy that makes up everything is the Flow itself. And all the smaller, subdivided wave frequencies that make up the concrete objects in the Universe are simply different “tunings” of this energy. Just by virtue of existing, you are participating in the Universal Flow right now, at this very moment.Your Flow (the Flow that makes up You) and the Flow of everything you are interacting with are mixing and colliding with each other right now, indeed existing as PART OF one another. This includes your thoughts, other people’s thoughts, the frequencies of light and color around you, the frequencies of the electrons spinning in every physical object surrounding you. Which, interestingly, leads us right back to your hand. Can you see what’s in the empty spaces between those atoms now? The Flow—the radiant energy of all things, stored, ultimately, as wave information.</p>

<p>Flowdreaming is a powerful, easy, and effective new way to manifest anything you want—whether that’s lots of money, relief from anxiety, the perfect romantic relationship, a new job or career, more time in your life for the things you love . . . or anything else.</p>
<ol>
<li>Being in the Flow means that your life is flowing in a general direction that is for your highest good and happiness.</li>
<li>When you fight against the current of your Flow, it’s just like swimming upstream—you encounter obstacles and frustration in your life. Things stop going your way.</li>
<li>By daydreaming yourself into the Flow, or “Flowdreaming,” you can guide yourself back into the natural, positive Flow of your life.</li>
<li>Once in the Flow, you can manifest whatever you want to have—such as all the happiness and success you desire. It works!<span id="more-5"></span></li>
</ol>
<p>No experience with meditation is needed. In fact, you already know how to get into your Flow since a part of your consciousness already exists there right now. Flowdreaming simply means lifting the rest of your mind into this “place” to unleash the most profound transformative power into your life.</p>
<p>Using a kind of “guided daydreaming,” you can see, hear, smell, and feel the imagery and sensations of your Flow. But Flowdreaming is much more than a daydream. Flowdreaming has a secondary aspect in which you enter a “place” outside of time or space where your mind and your desires become active, participatory, creative forces that can alter the circumstances in your life. Flowdreaming puts you smack in the center of the Universal manifestational energy of the world—the Flow (also known as the quantum Zero-Point field). You will know that you have touched this place when you begin to see your desires manifesting in your life.</p>
<p>Like a river to the sea, your personal Flow always travels in one direction—a natural, positive direction. When you fight your Flow or try to make things happen that may not be right for you, you’re going against the Flow—which can feel like swimming upstream. Flowdreaming helps steer you back on course to where everything again happens easily and effortlessly in your life, for your highest good.</p>
<p>Flowdreaming works so well, so quickly for many people because it’s based on daydreaming—not meditation—and daydreaming is something everyone already knows how to do. There’s very little learning curve, so you can just get right in and start making things happen in your life. And when you add strong, positive emotion to your Flowdreaming, you have completed all that’s needed to supercharge your life with Flow energy. Emotion is like an electrical charge, and the more emotion you transmit in the Flow, the farther, faster, and more profoundly your desires will manifest. This is because emotion excites energy, which generates strong manifestational power. Your strong intention—your strong desire—is what drives the creative power of your life and your Flow.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>This Article is part of Flowdreaming.com&#8217;s free Online Learning Library.<br />
</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you&#8217;re looking for an explanation for why some things in your life seem so frustratingly difficult to manifest, then read on. It&#8217;s a long article, but contains valuable information. It begins with a story about something that happened to me these last few weeks.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I normally talk about the Flow using a metaphor of water. Our Flow moves like a current of ease and bounty, never ceasing, always finding the path of least resistance, like water flowing to the sea. When we&#8217;re in sync with this essence of life, we find that the world opens to us and we can manifest our desires with abandon.<span>  </span>When we&#8217;re at odds with this medium for manifesting, we&#8217;re going against this current and finding ourselves constantly struggling upstream facing discouragement, debt, and despair.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well a few weeks ago I happened on a new way of looking at it: I&#8217;m going to borrow two terms from science and rework them a little:<span>  </span>conduction and resistance. A copper wire conducts energy beautifully, and lets it move right where it needs to go. A rubber wire, on the other hand, is a terrible conductor for electricity. It&#8217;s a point of resistance. We have both in our lives. Imagine that we&#8217;re on a racetrack made of copper, but the bumper walls are made of rubber. We can bump against the resistance as much as we want, or we can get back on the copper track. Here is what happened to me recently that made this all so clear to me.<span id="more-1"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lately, I&#8217;ve been thinking about the things I really enjoy doing, and one thing I&#8217;ve found is that I like to develop creative projects and see them strategically through completion. I started searching around for what this kind of skill-set is called, and found that there&#8217;s field that&#8217;s generally called &#8220;strategic product development.&#8221; A few days after realizing this, I found myself on an airplane talking to the man sitting next to me, and it turns out he&#8217;s a consultant for product development to some big-name companies. He&#8217;s been in the industry for twenty-odd years, launching multimillion dollars products and campaigns. And he had a lot to share with me about how to envision projects and then see them through to completion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a perfect example of conductivity. I had a sense of excitement about something, my Flow reacted to this, and it brought me a man who can help me understand more about my new interest. Like a copper wire carrying current, my Flow made it easy for me to find and get the information I wanted. I am in a super-conductive wave. My Flow confirmed to me, within days, that my line of thinking was in line with my essence. That is how Flow works.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, feeling excited, a week later I find myself talking to someone I do business with about my exciting new idea. And you know what? I was completely rejected. Shut down. It was as if I had been cruising along a top speed, feeling completely as if my Flow was helping me hurtle toward something new and exciting, and hit a wall.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At first, I was mad. How can this be, I thought, when I&#8217;ve had such positive confirmation already? Did something change? And then I pulled back and thought, &#8220;This is interesting. I&#8217;ve hit a point of resistance.&#8221; This point of resistance happens to be in the form of a person that I often have to interact with. Did you know that a person can be a point of resistance in your life? Every time I interact with this person, they shut me down. This person&#8217;s role, in my Flow, is to close doorways. Their role is to show me where not to go.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So what next? If I had no understanding of Flow, I might continue to butt my head against this person, in that direction, since I think they hold the keys to the kingdom&#8211;at least in this particular aspect of my work. My Flow is telling me &#8220;green light&#8221; in one large overall way, but &#8220;red light&#8221; in this particular area. In other words, I&#8217;m being steered. This is great news, since now I know where not to waste my time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your Flow is always talking to you, responding to you, in terms of conduction and resistance. Conduction is where you&#8217;re moving in a direction, and it feels like everything unfurls around you, pushing you along, giving you what you need just when you need it. When I met the man on the plane, I felt eager, curious, delighted, and &#8220;in tune&#8221; with the encounter. Those feelings were conductive, and affirmed that direction in my Flow.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Resistance is the hazard sign on the road. It points where you don&#8217;t want to go. Resistance is when you encounter a person, situation or thing that appears to stop you or block you. Whenever you push for something and in response feel upset, wronged, shut down, rejected, misunderstood, angry, frozen out, or that it&#8217;s unfair, you have encountered resistance. Your emotions identify the resistance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And here is where we make a mistake: Instead of saying, &#8220;Oh right, thank you for steering me away from this,&#8221; we instead get caught up in having to make what we we’re after turn out our way. So we get stuck trying to make someone believe in us, or do what we want, or see it our way, or agree with us, or get the account, or make him understand, or give us the money, or whatever it is that we have to force to happen. We bang our head against the wall of resistance, because we&#8217;ve been taught that winners don&#8217;t quit, or to get your goal you can&#8217;t give up, and so on.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is a new way to look at it: Winner&#8217;s don&#8217;t quit. But when they see a big black pit of resistance, they don&#8217;t hang around wondering how deep it is and how long it will take them to fall in and climb out. Instead, they turn around or turn aside and find a new route.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do more of what works and less of what doesn&#8217;t. Resistance is the rubber walls of your copper current, telling you where not to go.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will encounter many points of resistance as you move forward in your Flow, and in your life. After looking at it like this, I made of a list in my mind of people, situations, and things that almost always represent resistance in my Flow. And I know that I don&#8217;t have to bother with them now. I don&#8217;t have to thrash my way through them or past them. Instead, I am all about finding the points of super-conductivity. My Flow and my manifesting will wing me to right where I want to be, and even help me discover where that is, as long as I listen and react right.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So think right now: What problem have you been chewing on lately that has a point of resistance? Can you minimize your involvement with it? In my own case, I can&#8217;t avoid this person altogether, but I can keep our interaction to a minimum. Maybe you can do that too.</p>
<p><span>Then identify where you feel ease&#8211;where have things just been quietly working out for you? What area of your life is mellow and fulfilling? Who is involved in that area? They must be conductive to you. Sometimes we overlook the conductive areas of our lives since we take them for granted. But they are indicators of Flow there. How can you bring that Flow into the<span>  </span>troubled area? Maybe you can, maybe you can&#8217;t. Maybe you&#8217;ll need to start down a new road&#8211;and when you do, look for your Flow to respond by manifesting circumstances that hurtle your forward and bring you just what you need.</span><!--EndFragment--></p>
