Imagine that you are sitting in a rowboat that is floating down the river of life. All around you, the currents of the river are flowing. These are the energy currents of life, the energy of life. The currents that are closest to your boat, that you can reach out and touch — these are the energy vibrations that can interact with your energetic vibrations. The ripples and currents that are further away from your boat may not have direct influence of directional impact on your vibrations of life, but there are also other boats on the river that are flowing in their own energy streams.
You go wherever the currents take you through the energy of life. Accepting the journey, enjoying the journey. Playing the observer to what is happening around you. Staying in your heart. You may get off the boat to experience people, places and things when the boat stops along the riverbank, joining with others for a while. Even if it is just you, laying back and watching the stars in the night sky, understand that you are never truly alone.
If your boat enters choppy water, or reaches the summit of a waterfall, what will you do? Will you try to get out and make your way to the shore, temporarily stepping outside of the currents of life because you are scared? Or will you find the ride exciting and fun, holding on to the sides of the boat? Will you feel the thrill of excitement for the unknown? Will you be ready to take the plunge into the unknown? Know that the river cannot harm you. We all have our own individual journeys, but we are all headed to the same destination. Each journey is different and cannot be compared to someone else’s. What matters is how you live your journey. Will you live from your heart, looking in wonder and excitement at everything that surrounds you? Or will you close your eyes, cower and hide because you are scared of what comes next?
This is the science of expectancy. Living in expectancy means living in a state of raised energetic vibration that keeps you moving forward along the river of life. Grateful for all the experiences that you have had, grateful for the progress that you have made on your journey, and excitement for what comes next.
What does a state of expectancy feel like?
It feels like a state of equilibrium that encompasses the feelings of gratitude and excitement. A state of being where you are open, and flow freely with the energy of life. The more you live in a state of expectancy, the easier it is to maintain a higher vibration. The more you maintain a higher vibration, the easier it is to live in a state of expectancy. The more you live in a state of expectancy, the easier it is to live from a higher state of consciousness.
The tarot card ‘The Chariot’ best explains how to live in this phenomenon — make all your preparations ready for the journey but be prepared for the unknown. Living in a state of expectancy will ensure swift resolutions to delays or experiences that may arise, or even turn them into blessings in disguise. On your journey, if you live with gratitude and excitement, you will go where the river of life takes you. Be prepared to chart the unknown path. Be open to circumstances beyond your control. Let go of control and see where the river of life takes you. It may be your most magical journey yet.
