Beyond the Words EP07

[00:00:00] Dimple Thakrar: Hello and welcome back to Beyond the Words with me Dimple Thakrar and so today we are going to talk about absolutely going with the flow, what that means, what it requires you to be, and why is it so important?

[00:00:25] Dimple Thakrar: Here we go. We're going deep. Going with the flow. It gets banded about this a lot, and for some of you, may scare the hell out of you. And for some of you, you're like, Yes! Liberation!

[00:00:39] Dimple Thakrar: I can just go with the flow. Let me tell you what it is for me first and how I've evolved my life in this position where I literally go with the flow and how for some people it scares the hell out of them. So coming back, some of you will have heard the podcast about my story. Some of you won't. So I'll just do a quick recap.

[00:01:04] Dimple Thakrar: I was very much a planner. By the age of 14, I knew exactly which university I was going to, when I was getting married, children, everything. Actually, was mixed up about children. And aren't we all mixed up about children? I knew, What year I was getting married, I knew which degree I wanted to do.

[00:01:28] Dimple Thakrar: I'd organized a whole shadowing of a community dietician to know, like everything was planned and controlled. Everything. Going with the flow scared the frigging hell out of me. It would give me palpitations if I did not know what the plan was. I'd wake up in the morning and have a schedule. Like everything was regimented.

[00:01:51] Dimple Thakrar: So I was in control of everything. No surprises. And this really continued right through to my marriage, right? I got married, I did my degree. I'm a dietitian, qualified dietitian. And it's so interesting when I look back now, a lot of the Things that happened to me in my life and the biggest pivotal and turning points were when I was going with the flow and didn't really think I felt.

[00:02:23] Dimple Thakrar: And so I'll give you an example. I decided that I wanted to shadow a community dietitian. And as soon as I decided that instantly. Somebody became available. It was a community dietitian. I didn't go out looking for it. I didn't have a master plan. And so then. That was that first piece. Then the second piece was coming back after doing my degree and I connected with this community dietician that I met when I was 14.

[00:02:56] Dimple Thakrar: So I came back at 21 and she happened to have an opening in a community role. And I made a decision that I didn't want to go into hospital. And at that time, your basic grade job. It was unheard of to not go into hospital first. You don't go into community cause that's a specialist role. And I decided I didn't want to work in a hospital.

[00:03:18] Dimple Thakrar: I didn't want to work with people that were ill. I wanted to work with people that wanted to get better. And so I got this incredible opportunity from nowhere. Again, going with the flow, making a decision. Trusting and going with the flow. And this was all something that was happening unconsciously. I wasn't aware of it.

[00:03:40] Dimple Thakrar: And it's only with hindsight, looking back and actually recording this podcast, realizing that, holy shit, how many times in my life have I made a decision with absolute certainty, and then. Let it go and suddenly the opportunities come that I wouldn't have even dreamed possible. Now here's the piece on this.

[00:04:03] Dimple Thakrar: How many times has that happened in your life? And how many times have you tried to control it? So had I have gone right, I am only Gonna look for jobs in the community and I need one in my local area and then I went out doing different, the usual stuff, looking for jobs and all the stuff that, the strategy, right?

[00:04:26] Dimple Thakrar: Applying for different jobs, wishing, hoping, then taking the job that wasn't really quite right. Instead, I let it go and this is the key. To going with the flow, I believe is there is a certain amount of strategy and it's interesting. I'm doing a whole seminar on this tonight spirit and strategy.

[00:04:49] Dimple Thakrar: And what's wild about this is that I've come to realize that when we use both in equal measure, not only do we get what we need in terms of direction, but we also get things that we couldn't possibly have dreamed possible. So what do I mean? so the strategy was around making a decision, deciding. I decided I want to be a dietitian.

[00:05:21] Dimple Thakrar: I decided that I didn't want to work in a hospital, that I wanted to work in the community. I decided I was going to get married at a certain age and then I let go. That's the strategy. I trusted, three steps, decide, trust, and let it go. That requires a great deal of courage. Because the letting go is the hardest piece, because how many times do we doubt ourselves?

[00:05:46] Dimple Thakrar: How many times do we second guess ourselves? How many times do we go, and we almost sabotage ourselves, we'll go, Oh, it's not going to happen for me that, that's impossible. Nobody goes into the community. Everybody has to do a year in hospital at least. What if I'd got into that dialogue in my head, right?

[00:06:07] Dimple Thakrar: This is then the spirit piece where you let it go and you trust that the universe, God, source, whatever you believe, the field, Will rearrange itself. It's almost genie in the lamp, right? What is your, you rub the lamp. That's the strategy. What is your wish? The genie comes out. What is your wish?

[00:06:31] Dimple Thakrar: Da. I wish for this. Da. You don't say to the genie, and I want you to do it like this, and this, and give them the strategy. No, you let it go to the spirits. And you let it go to spirit. And it's wild, actually, thinking this through now, how I came onto this podcast today, And I had to rearrange her time a few times and bless Jo, she's incredible at flexibility where she can, she will, she's amazing.

[00:07:05] Dimple Thakrar: And eventually it got to the slot that I was meant to have anyway, right? And it was only in the second before that I realized I was supposed to talk about going with the flow. And strategy and spirit because somebody out there hearing this right now needs to know that it's okay for you to let it go.

[00:07:32] Dimple Thakrar: And here's why. When you let it go, you release the need for you to be in control of the outcome. And why is that so important? It's important because if we try and control the how, we know what our why is, we know what the what is, we try and control the how, what we're doing is we're capping our potential.

[00:08:01] Dimple Thakrar: So by that, we are literally saying to the universe, all I want is up to here. And the reason we do this is it feels safe because then we know what to expect. We know we can handle it. We know that's our limit. But here's the problem with setting that limit. It's exactly that. It's a limit. And in that limit, you limit yourself from what is available.

[00:08:33] Dimple Thakrar: So have you ever had those moments where suddenly things just appear like the traffic stops, or you get a car parking spot. Where nobody else would, or you meet somebody by sheer coincidence and it turns out to be the best, incredible meeting and so much happens. It could be a lover. It could be a business opportunity.

[00:08:55] Dimple Thakrar: Could be a dear friend, it was like the other day I was walking the dogs and I was I sadly had to let go of a friend because it was just misaligned. And I just thought I could really do with a friend who's aligned in this work, who's aligned in this ascension, who's aligned in understanding the power of strategy and spirit.

[00:09:18] Dimple Thakrar: And I was walking and I didn't go, okay, so I'm going to go to networking events. I'm going to reach out to Zohra and so I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. I didn't. I walked to the reservoir with my dogs, there's hardly anybody. And then on the way back, there's a different route that I can take.

[00:09:38] Dimple Thakrar: So it's like a crossroads. I can either go down the road, which is a route I normally come up and go on the main road or there's like a back road. It's a road because it leads to some remote houses. And there's a back road that takes me through the estate to get me back home. And it's slightly longer way.

[00:10:00] Dimple Thakrar: And I remember pausing. And going, which way do I feel like going? And this is a magic strategy for those of you who are ever stuck on a decision. Cause. The portal, the key, and this is something I was talking to my client about today. The key, the portal, the gateway is in our hearts. And the reason for that is, is it's the gateway to infinite, infinite information.

[00:10:34] Dimple Thakrar: By that I mean infinite, Direct link to universe, direct link to God, direct link to whomever you believe in greater than you, the Holy Spirit, whomever. And when you go into that portal, that gateway, and you open it up, what is revealed is the truth. What is revealed is a higher truth, your highest truth, through love and compassion, not through ego, not through making somebody right or wrong, not through competition, but the ultimate truth.

[00:11:12] Dimple Thakrar: And sometimes that can be a hard pill to swallow, because it goes against all logic. And sometimes it can be a really effortless decision. So in this moment, I went into my heart and my heart was like, go right. And that was the longer route. It was scenic, but it was a longer route. And I went right. And as I was going I started walking and the dogs were off lead.

[00:11:38] Dimple Thakrar: And suddenly there was a car that came behind. There are no cars usually on this road because it's such a remote road. It only leads to three houses and it was a white Mercedes. And she slowed down. I couldn't see actually whether it was a he or a she in the drought because the sun was shining. She slowed down for me to get the dogs on the lead, because the dogs can be a bit chaotic when there's a lot of like movement going on, so I had to grab them, put them on lead.

[00:12:05] Dimple Thakrar: And as she, As the car drove close to me, I was on the driver's side. So, I recognized it was a woman and she wound a window down. And she went, hi Dimple. So I, Oh my word. It was a lady. Who hadn't really known much before, but we met in 2017 and we met randomly through a friend. And it was a time when I said, Oh, I'm going to see Tony Robbins.

[00:12:45] Dimple Thakrar: And she went, Oh, I really want to see Tony Robbins. And I said why don't you get a ticket? And then it turned out we ended up sharing a room. She was there at the beginning of my journey of personal development and awakening. And she was there when I made the crazy decision to invest over 75, 000 that I didn't have, hugely per faith.

[00:13:13] Dimple Thakrar: And that's when my awakening happened. And. She was there. And then we've kept in touch sporadically and she's, unbeknown to me, at the same time started following Dr. Joe Dispenza. For those of you who don't know these people, please look them up. They are incredible human beings and slightly alien. That's another story.

[00:13:36] Dimple Thakrar: All about aliens. And she, and I'm going to call on Michelle for privacy sake. And she said, hi, how are you? It's just a long time and we got chatting and she said, Oh, I'd love to reconnect with you, let's go out for a coffee sometime, or maybe we do a walking meditation anyway, in the next two days.

[00:14:00] Dimple Thakrar: We had the most magical walks and a deep connection. Now, had I have gone, I really want a cool friend and I'm going to go out and connect and make, and that would never have happened. So many things line up to the infinite. Potential, when you let go, when you don't cap, when you don't limit yourself.

[00:14:28] Dimple Thakrar: And so this podcast today, the message today really is, where in your life are you holding onto something that if you go into your heart portal, it's guiding you to let it go. It's guiding you to make that decision. It's guiding you to trust in the frequency that you're moving in, because what our words say and what our frequency is, i.

[00:15:03] Dimple Thakrar: e. the energy we push out there. If they mismatch, you are a match for frequency, not words. So if you ever wondered why shit keeps happening to you, even though you keep saying positive affirmations and I am this and I am that, but inside you don't feel it, you're going to keep getting shit thrown your way because you're a match for shit.

[00:15:27] Dimple Thakrar: So this is where we have to be really honest and really truthful with our frequency and really own it. And I'll give you another example. I've put on an in person day and full transparency. I said yes to it because it felt right at the time, but there was a part of me that was like, not sure it's the right time.

[00:15:51] Dimple Thakrar: I sell with frequency. So what that means is people come to me effortlessly when they want to work with me from nowhere. And that means that they're an energetic match for my teachings. And. So I have never had an issue with selling ever. It's always been something, I tell a lie, group sessions for some reason I have in the past.

[00:16:15] Dimple Thakrar: One to one high paying clients like to attract a client that will pay me five, six figures is not an issue for me. And. Yeah, I had this block around groups and I could feel it in my body when I said yes to this event. And even now I'm feeling that twinge and I just knew it wouldn't sell. I knew it would be crickets.

[00:16:43] Dimple Thakrar: And something inside of me was saying Dimple, This is not the time for this. This is not the time for this. Postpone it. It's not that you can't do it. It's just not the time. It's not the right frequency. And is that me telling myself that? Or is that a feeling inside of me? Either way, the frequency's off, right?

[00:17:07] Dimple Thakrar: So I can shout and do loads of information giving, but if the frequency's off, the frequency's off. And I even had somebody who was prepared to buy 10, 11 tickets, and it's a 22 seater event. Somebody was willing to buy half the seats, so the date wasn't right for them. What does this mean? What I actually did was make the big bold decision that made no sense whatsoever, which was to postpone it, which was to say no, which was to say that tickets are sold, gonna refund or offer them.

[00:17:45] Dimple Thakrar: A VIP position, when I feel right to do it, which is feeling into September. So sometimes the decisions won't be the easy ones. Sometimes you'll feel like you have to go with the flow to please others. And actually, when you feel that in your body, that's all I can describe it as. This is when you have to act, and this is how you collapse time, because The more no's, authentic no's you say, the more opportunities there are for authentic yeses.

[00:18:24] Dimple Thakrar: But it takes bravery, it takes courage to step into the unknown, to let go. Oh my God, when you let go, the codes that come through you, the magic, in all the ways, not just business, love, life, friendships, children, relationships, opportunities, In all the ways you get an infinite amount of abundance that you didn't even know was possible.

[00:18:54] Dimple Thakrar: Abundance beyond your wildest dreams. But you have to be tuned in to the frequency first. That goes beyond the words. So I'll leave you with that, my beautiful humans and souls. Thank you so much for the privilege of your time, your energy, your space, and your frequency today. God bless you.
