Go with the flow -- or are you running away ?

Good question !! Sometimes there is no answer.... the answer is "stay in the process."  Our Spiritual practice helps us to keep a balance. Between yin and yang..... digging deep and letting it go..... self examination and self criticism.  Go with the flow can sometimes mean: I don't want to self examine.... I just want to feel good.  In order to grow, we have to do some shadow work.  Sometimes in doing shadow work, we can be hard on ourselves. That doesn't mean stop or run or abandon the work. It simply means re-balance.
