floating

For the past months the image of swimming always passes through my mind and there has been a quiet urging to understand and share an insight that has been stirring my thoughts for some time.

Floating and swimming is such an amazing thing once you learn it. It is indeed a relaxing feeling to be able to glide in water like the fishes in the ocean...like Nemo :o)

Before when I was younger I did not know how to swim, I wouldn’t venture out into the open sea or on the deep side of the pool. Before I just swim where my feet can touch the tiles or sand underneath. But since I love going to the beach and pools I try to learn more and more about swimming.

In our Science class they says that water is buoyant and will naturally hold you up specially the ocean. I learned from my cousin Hazel who is a good swimmer and even made a living once by swimming ...that you do not have to struggle to swim just relax and allow the body to be lifted up by the water. The more you struggle the more you will sink. I thought this would be difficult but is amazing once you learned it.

It took me some time to learn this principle. It is amazing how little effort you have to exert to learn it. It is just like trusting the water itself. The hardest part is to unlearn the limiting thoughts that I will sink and that I can’t swim in deep water.

Having faith is knowing that the water will keep you afloat and by allowing it to be your aid in exploring things, you will blessed with so much to discover.

Sometimes we need not struggle to keep afloat. Sometimes we just need to be still and the water will keep us afloat. And indeed it was such a liberating experience to float in water, swim across an Olympic pool or dive into deep waters.

Swimming and faith have some things in common.
