[Tempu x Tolle] When in doubt, read the "waves." The art of navigating the rough seas of life

When standing at a crossroads in life, grasp the flow through your breath

~The art of navigation: entrusting the helm to the river's flow~

Life may be like a journey
on a small boat
traveling down a great river.

There are calm days,
and there are days when you feel like you might be swallowed by rapids.

And sometimes,
there are moments when you stand at a crossroads,
wondering, "Should I go right or left?"

At such times, many people
try to find the correct answer.

However, life,
and the flow of the universe,
seem to be moved by an intelligence
greater than thought.

"The helm of thought"If you try to force your way forward with this,
you go against the flow, the boat becomes heavy,
and your progress slows down...

Many people believe that by having
"positive thoughts" or "strong desires"they can

make thoughts a reality, or that
manifestationwill occur, but

Eckhart Tolle teaches that what the universe
understands is not "words",but our
"vibrations" (frequency)
.

It seems that it does not follow your "power of will," but rather
reflects yourstate of being(inner essence)
into reality.

If there is anxiety or fear,the universe (reality) might be responding with
obstacles.

And,

Surrendering to the flow of the river
is not "giving up."

By letting go of control,
you do not lose power;
rather, youreclaim your true power (the source).

Happiness lies at the point where you stop swimming against the current
and begin to move
with the river.

A Japanese thinker and philosopher who was active
from the Meiji to the Showa era.

A Showa-era sage who is said to have beenread and influenced by Shohei Ohtanias well.

The person who influenced many famous Japanese people,
Nakamura Tenpu,taught that

human destiny is not something imposed by the external environment, but rather that
the thoughts and beliefs of the subconscious create reality.he preached.

Even if you are in the middle of a storm,
believing that 'this flow exists to carry me'
is the spirit of absolute positivity that stabilizes your vibrations.

What does it mean to surrender to the flow?

It means returning your consciousness to 'this very moment'.

Holding onto regrets of the past or anxieties about the futurewill cause your rudder to waver.

Breathe quietly and try to feel, 'I am here, right now.'
This 'vibration of existence' is the key to harmonizing with the river of the universe.

In other words, it may be the key to connecting with human innate intelligence and wisdom
and unleashing human innate power.

It is not a place reached through effort or planning, but
a place where the flow has guided you.

And when you look back,
a deep sense of relief may come over you, thinking,
'Ah, that choice was the right one.'

In the voyage of life,
it is more important to read the 'waves (senses)' than the map (thoughts).

Maps (thoughts) are records of the past.
But waves (senses) tell you about the 'now'.

When you are lost about 'which way to go',
return to the silence,
and try to feel the waves of your heart.

If that feeling is
calm and warm,
it is a sign that the flow of the universe is telling you to 'proceed'.

Conversely,
no matter how logical it may seem,
if your heart feels heavy,
it may not be the right time yet.

If your intuition and sensitivity are honed,
you might be able to foresee the future...

Or perhaps the wisdom of our predecessors
will guide the future.

On the ship of your life,
an invisible 'wind' is blowing.

If the vibrations of breath and gratitudeare aligned,
the ship should naturally be carried to its destination.

Perhaps the true destination is not something you grasp through effort, but
a place you are guided to by your very existence.
It is a future that appears beyond the flow opened by the universe when you align your vibrations through your breath.

When you stand at a crossroads, it is okay not to rush.

Rather than 'which one to choose,'
'what vibration you choose from' is what matters.

When you calm your mind through breathing and quietly bring gratitude to mind,
the universe will steer your rudder in the best direction.

In the voyage of life,
the strongest ship is not one with perfect equipment, but
the sense of becoming one with the flow through breath.

Today, the topic became a bit difficult, but...
In the world of 'Do' (the Way), such as Japanese tea ceremony, calligraphy, kendo, and martial arts,

the philosophy of 'Shinshin Ichinyo' (mind and body as one) is
fundamental, and


posture and breathingare considered

the most basic practical methods for
unifying the spirit and connecting to inner wisdom.

In your daily life,
why not start by incorporating 'time to focus on your breathing'little by little and as much as possible...
Why not create some moments of stillness? ✨

Within that silence,
the compass of the universe guiding you should be shining.
