The
Surf is Up!
Surfing the
subtle currents of the Invisible is similar to surfing the ocean waves.
And it's a most useful skill at this point. First, let's learn how to
study the condition of the surf. Since the subtle currents are continually
changing, we need to constantly align ourselves with their movements.
Try lying down and becoming very still until you can feel the undulating
currents all around you. If you are very quiet, you should also be able
to feel the watery currents slowly shifting inside your body. Now, let
the subtle currents both inside and outside you flow together in unison.
This will align you more deeply with the Invisible.
What is the surf of the subtle currents doing? How would you describe
it? Is it calm or wild, choppy or stagnant? Get to know your surf so that
at any given moment you can accurately read it. This is especially helpful
upon awakening in the morning. It will tell you much about the energies
of the day. The next step is to align yourself with the surf. This is
very important if you want to flow through your day, working with the
inherent energies, rather than against them. Here are some examples:
Calm
Surf
A good day for steadily
pacing yourself, accomplishing things in a peaceful manner. A serene
day filled with positive energy and Love.
Wild
Surf
There are many variations
within this category. If you properly align yourself with Wild Surf,
you can accomplish much. It will give you lots of passion, energy and
momentum. It is a time of clear, decisive action without effort or struggle.
Battering
Surf
This is a rough surf.
Be very gentle with yourself and others. Keep as quiet as possible until
it changes. Avoid confrontations. It's definitely not the kind of day
to go out and press your luck. Instead, stay home and read. Make yourself
as cozy as possible.
Choppy
Surf
An unpredictable
surf which can go in any direction. Your mind will be full of wild,
uncontrollable thoughts, most of which have no basis in reality. Avoid
decisions since you are not coming from a place of clarity. Try to be
extra alert and grounded, otherwise you can have minor accidents. The
best thing to do in Choppy Surf is the small practicalities of life.
A good day to tidy the house, do your laundry, work in the garden; any
unchallenging physical activities which give your wayward mind something
to focus on. Once you do this, the crazy energies will balance out and
Choppy Surf will change into something else.
Splashing
Surf
A challenging, emotional
surf. It will bring out a spectrum of surface emotions. One minute you
will be happy - then sad - then angry. None of these emotions are very
deep or enduring, so just let them pass through you. It's difficult
to find a way to align yourself with a Splashing Surf, but once you
do, your emotions will smooth out. One thing that will help is to remember
that these emotions are not based on anything personal. You are simply
experiencing some of the collective planetary emotions for the purpose
of transmutation.
Still
Surf
Still Surf is surf
with little or no movement. When you feel becalmed in Still Surf, don't
force yourself into action. Stay as quiet as possible. Retreat. Go within.
It is an excellent time to access the depths of your being. Also a good
time for study or research. If you have to go into the world or interact
with people, remain as quiet as possible. It is not an easy time to
get anything done on a physical level. If you have to work, you'll have
the greatest success if you do things slowly and thoroughly.
The
Doldrums
While this isn't
officially a surf, it is something which you might encounter while surfing.
Physically, the Doldrums is an area near the Equator in the Pacific
Ocean where sailing ships often become becalmed, sometimes for months.
It is a place of little or no wind. The Doldrums differ from Still Surf
in their sense of an all-pervading heaviness. When we enter the Doldrums,
nothing seems to work in our lives. Everything is weighted down. The
surf has disappeared. When this happens, it's time to make a change.
Do something radical. . . like change yourself, let go of some long
held belief, or simply make a massive surrender. That should set you
free from the Doldrums and push you into an exciting breakthrough.
Riptide
Surf
This is surf which
appears calm, but contains hidden pockets of danger or whirlpools which
can suddenly catapult you to a totally different place. We often initially
read this as Calm Surf until we are surprised by a dramatic, unexpected
turn of events. As we become Master Surfers, we will learn to discern
Riptide Surf before it pulls us in.
Swooning
Surf
Swooning Surf is
filled with concentrated Love energies. That's Ecstatic Love energies.
Heightened Ecstatic Love energies. When Swooning Surf is up, you don't
need to eat or sleep and are definitely unpinned from time and space.
A magical time when miracles can be achieved. Love is in the air and
melts everyone it encounters. Need we say more?
Quantum
Surf
This is the special
surf which is aligned with the waves of the Celestial Seas. It brings
forth the really BIG WAVES. Huge, undeniable waves. . . When Quantum
Surf is around, jump on your surfboards and ride the Beam! This is the
surf of quantum leaps, major breakthroughs and achieving the impossible.
So when Quantum Surf is up, drop everything else and ride these waves
as far as you can.
Once you have recognized the condition of the surf, you can begin your
day with maximum effectiveness. However, it's important to remember
that the surf can change anytime. Program yourself to check out the
subtle currents on a regular basis throughout the day and realign yourself
to them if they have changed.
When
the tide rolls in, ride the waves.
When the tide is out, collect shells.
As you develop greater familiarity and mastery with the prevailing
surf, you will learn how to smooth out the rough spots in your life
by working with the subtle currents of the Invisible. And by learning
to feel the subtle currents and aligning yourself to them, you have
received your First Key to the Invisible.
