Locks and Dams, Waiting for Water Levels to Match

Have you ever seen a "lock and dam" sequence for a river?  If you are in the middle, it can be scary as the waters rise on one side or lower on another to find balance.  Why haven't we reached our goals?  In this analogy, fear is on one side of the locks and our goals are on the other side.  It takes persistence and conscious effort to reduce emotional fear.

Even when water levels are close enough to open the doors, there can still be  a rush of water as the levels settle.  When we fear something, it would be too much for us to handle if we opened the doors when the water levels were too far apart.  Our boats would tip over.  Emotionally, it can be the same.

My analogy of the locks and dams refers to emotional fears; for instance, fear of public speaking or fear of failure.  We can lower our resistance (the water on the high side) with meditation, breathing exercises, hypnosis and other forms of energy work.  Then, when our resistance has been lowered enough so that our metaphorical boats won't tip over, we can open up the gates.  Yay!  We can then learn how to move toward greater possibilities in this lifetime.

If you say you don't have any goals, perhaps you haven't taken the time to get quiet and try to remember what you desired as a child.  Those goals can still be reached.  If you wanted to be a ballerina, you can still take classes and enjoy the emotions of living the life you love.  If you wanted to fly a plane, that is super easy now with simulators.  Those emotions of "pure bliss" will bring joy to every part of your life.  Don't miss out on expanding possibilities in your life!

Have a great day!
