"When you are feeling overwhelmed, remember you can swim."

Updated: Jan 12

Become like water and surrender into the Divine flow.

This week's message from spirit guides us to tune into into the element of water. Perhaps inspired by the spectacular Summer storms we have been blessed with these first days of the year here in the Noosa Hinterland, gifting us with an abundance of water to fill our tanks, cleanse the land and steer us into the new year.

On a metaphorical level, it can also feel a little overwhelming when the storm clouds roll in emotionally, and the tendency may be to either struggle against them or to sink into the murky depths of confusion and doubt, literally clouding our view. We are all familiar with that feeling of having turbulent inner waters, which can be draining physically, mentally and spiritually. Although it's not at all comfortable to begin the year this way, many seem to be in this state of uncertainty right now.

It might help to look at it as a spiritual turning point rather than a physical block. Remember that challenges are there to help us grow, and to make changes. They are our best teachers if we allow them to be seen and heard. Your awareness of the turnings of your mind allows you to float back and comfortably witness all, to look on with complete awe of the power and potential that such strong energy can manifest and make necessary changes.

It may be helpful to remind yourself of the yin and yang balance of all, including emotions.


Without stormy energies, experiencing life would be like living in a body without a pulse. It takes pain to reveal peace. It takes noise to leave space for the silence.

During emotionally stormy times, it is easy to feel that the light of clarity and peace is lost forever while you are struggling to keep your head above the surface.

When you are feeling overwhelmed by the pull of the undertow that keeps wanting to drag you out to sea, remember there are always choices. You do have free will.

You can sink into the depths, you can wallow in uncertainty, you can struggle against or simply swim with the flow.

Read on to hear the exact words from spirit...


"Swimming can look and feel very different depending on the swimmer's approach. When the swimmer allows themself to become the water, there is no struggle. Water will change its course to flow around any obstacles in its path. Be the water. Allow yourself to relax and drift with the flow of the current, which will eventually carry you out of the rough waters to a place that is peaceful and calm. You must trust and surrender. Everything will be okay."

If you can relate to this, then the message is for you...


"Pushing against the universal flow will always bring struggle and fatigue. Surrendering with faith and trust will carry you safely into the endless sea of consciousness where there is no destination, nothing to struggle against, and no goal to achieve."

"Right now you are being shown to look at this concept of achievement. Perhaps you were born into a family of strugglers and high achievers who ironically spend their lives stressing out and swimming against the current of thoughts in their own mind? Or maybe it's the circle of friends you find yourself in at present, who spark that sense of competitiveness within you? Maybe you don't feel like you belong anywhere anymore, and you are tired of trying to please everyone at your own expense?

This is very stressing on your heart, so you must change the circumstances you are in, and find a more peaceful approach to life. You are different! You must first listen to your own flow, which will guide you safely into the universal current. Embrace the storms and learn to dance in the rain.

Now close your eyes dear one, take some deep breaths and feel the Divine flow permeate your being.

Stop the struggle to achieve, and all will be revealed with grace and beauty."


Your mantra:


I surrender to the Divine flow within.

I surrender to the Divine flow without.

I surrender to the Divine flow with all.


Om Shanti shanti shanti...
