Really connect with the imagery of a river of spirit flowing, so often we block off the flow of the spirit from fear of what will happen next or fear of what if it runs out? I've never found it easy to be a 'go with the flow' kinda person, i liked to feel in control but that is such an exhausing way to live, now enjoying complete surrender and learning to let go and let god and getting my energy and strength restored.
