This Week’s Quotation:
The emotional body is that part of people that connects easily with what is around them—with the flow of the natural world, with other people, and even with the invisible life energy that courses through the human body. From the standpoint of this aspect of experience, there is no sense of separation from everything else; and therefore, from the standpoint of our own primal flow, there is no need for effort to connect—that is just how things are. The other aspects of our human makeup can modify or inhibit a person’s sense of connectedness. But from the standpoint of the emotional body, connection is the reality.
In relationships, people’s primal emotional flow is their openness to others and their capacity to receive what another person offers. It is a person’s love response in deeply intimate relationships, and the energetic current that is offered to friends, clients, colleagues, or employees.
If the quality of emotional flow is low in a person’s life, it might help to explore what has cut off that flow. Or they may simply want to explore good opportunities to open themselves deeply to something or someone who is worthy of their openness.

Emotional Flow
Author, Becoming a Sun
There is so much in a human life that requires some kind of effort and achievement. There is so much that can be stressful, not necessarily in a bad way, because stress can be invigorating.
And still, in the middle of all the bustle of our lives, we can get out of touch with the natural flow of our emotional body. Looked at through the lens of human effort, we might think we should get busy and do something about this. But maybe all that needs to happen is that we remember to make space in our life for the deep waters of the soul to flow in ourselves and others.
What does it mean to become a sun?
Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.

TOM REPLIED:
Yes, its that simple. Although I honor all the choices others may make, I don’t need to go on a lengthy pilgrimage nor pay a psychiatrist thousands of dollars to simply open myself to the necessary flow within — to let my emotional flow be unblocked — to let spirit in and spirit out. THANK you, David. Love, Tom
Thanks for this beautiful reminder, David, that oneness is the reality and that it is so natural to be in an emotional flow with anyone who comes into our environment or just into our awareness. As I was reading this my good friend Robby Robbins happened by and it was so exhilarating to spend a few minutes in a refreshing emotional exchange with him.
Thank you, David.
I feel it is so important to appreciate and honour our emotions. This ‘unseen’ force within us is our guiding lighthouse in coming to understand the depth of who we and others truly are. It is our telepathic link to the field of humanity and nature. It is Primal.
Thank you, David.
This sentence ‘But maybe all that needs to happen is that we remember to make space in our life for the deep waters of the soul to flow in ourselves and others.’, is perfect fir me right now, finding myself ‘home alone’ with a perfect opportunity to ‘make space for deeper soul flow’.
Thank you for the constant ‘waterfall’ of meditative thoughts that you offer !
Much love Anne Lise
Beautiful – thank you David!!
