Action Keeps the Loving Flowing
I know that when I am in the flow of moving, doing and completing, I am fully in my life force which I relate to as living love, alive in the fullness of who I am.
As I see it life is about a continuous flow of moving;
When we get stuck and dwell on what to do, thinking and wondering or worrying keeps us right where we are. However, getting up and moving and placing our loving into action can lift depression and open us to a solution we would not have thought of with our analyzing and problem-solving patterns. That frees energy which can open the heart and allow our creativity to flow.
Following and taking action where the attention leads can open new spaces that thinking and figuring out cannot go.
Be willing to step out of inertia, over organizing, over thinking and figuring out, and simply move into acting, doing and fully participating in life.
We tend to stop the flow of our loving action when we stop moving. We think about exercising and it doesn’t happen. We have a few minutes to focus and we look at our action list and yet not moving anything off the list. We talk about letting go of what we are not using and instead we keep holding on.
At a recent celebration I attended the clean up crew seemed to have been overlooked. Instead of talking about what to do and why it wasn’t handled those of us remaining simple pitched in and did what needed to be done. There is nothing more satisfying than serving what is present with a joyful presence.
Our cooperation and willingness to keep moving, acting, doing and participating in our lives keeps the heart open and the loving that we are flowing.
Martha Invitations:
1.Take an action with something physical that you have been putting off. And thank yourself for moving.
2. When something or someone bugs you, move your body and maybe even make a sound to open the flow of energy to move through it.
3. Do something for someone else for the joy of it.

Action Keeps the Loving Flowing
I know that when I am in the flow of moving, doing and completing, I am fully in my life force which I relate to as living love, alive in the fullness of who I am.
As I see it life is about a continuous flow of moving;
- Moving from thinking into doing and fully participating.
- Moving from organizing to taking actions to completion.
- Moving from inertia/procrastinating into physical action.
