Hello and welcome. Welcome. My name is Martita Robinson, and this is the first episode of The Mystical Investigator.
Today, I'm going to talk about my theory, the Flow theory. I am a spiritual therapist. I came up with this theory when I began to heal my own anxiety and now use it with my own clients. So let's talk a little bit about the theory and how you can apply it to your life when it comes to healing your own anxiety. So this theory, the Flow, can apply to any emotions, and any type of disorder, there is too. Whatever you're feeling at any moment.
The Flow, theory simply states that, you are energy. You are stillness, you are spiritual energy. And energy needs to move for it to be what it is. Right. If energy gets stopped. Then there is block within the spiritual realm. Blocks create problems blocks, create disease blocks. Create emotional issues and mental disorders and emotional disorders. You are a beautiful, spiritual being. And underneath it all underneath the physical part of you, there is a beautiful flow. That is constantly happening between you and the greater One, the universe that is all around us. Okay. So when we stop that flow, this is when the problems happen. Again, these are blocks. So the Flow, method states that, there are three parts to an emotional process. And when you apply this to your emotions, You're going to find healing occur. You're going to heal.
So when it comes to anxiety, you're pushing against the Flow,, which is causing the anxiety.
And that again, is with any emotional disorder. There is a block happening. Which is stopping your natural, energetic, spiritual flow to happen. So there's three parts to the flow. And this means there's three parts to every emotion. The Flow, is the emotional process that occurs when you have an emotion and if you allow the process to happen, it will happen very quickly. And if you stop it from happening, then it will prolong it. And the emotion will keep coming back until you're able to allow the process of that flow.
Sigmund Freud, the father of psychotherapy talked about the emotions and how emotions would never die. It's like you cannot repress your emotions. Blocking your emotional process from happening is repressing them. This means that you're pushing them back in to your body. So the Flow, theory states that there is an emotional body. I like to call it the cup, the emotional cup. And every time you push against your emotion, it goes into the cup.
The way it works is you have to process your emotions. There's a feeling that comes in you you've experienced something in some way. And then the feeling is there and the feeling tries to move through, but if you block it by pushing it back down by repressing it. Then it collects in the emotional body or the emotional cup. And what happens is, is that it will collect until there's just no more space. And this is when an anxiety disorder happens or you'll find panic disorder or you'll find yourself having anxiety, attacks, panic attacks, things like that.
So the flow is really necessary for health, good health, good mental health, good feeling. Just to be peaceful, you need to learn the flow. You need to learn how to apply this in your life.
So Sigmund Freud talked about that repression and how, when we repress our emotions, they come out in uglier ways in uglier ways, meaning these disorders. Panic. You know, those uncomfortable surges of energy. And all that is, is that that's the negative emotions that you've pushed down. You've repressed them. So now they come up in surges and that's what panic is. Panic is just a surge of that fear coming up. And it's reacting to your body because it's energy. You know, when you look at it from an energetic standpoint, you can understand what's happening. Your body is this physical component of you and then you have this energetic component. Coming into the body, which is creating all of these different feelings. The heart palpitations, the jitters. The congestion, right. So in order to flow, which you're always doing, you know, you're born this beautiful baby, that's just flowing, just flowing. It moves with its emotions. It's still, it understands that stillness is the answer and it also understands that flow is the answer. I ave a 10 month old baby. And you know, when he gets upset, he gets upset and he cries and he lets it out. He doesn't hold it. No holding back for babies, they cry. They let you know there's something wrong. They communicate the feelings that they're having. And as we get older, depending on who you grew up with. And even, you know, society tends to give us the idea that there's something wrong with having emotions that you're weak. That it's disrespectful. I have Hispanic parents. , And. Basically, if you. Had any type of response to the punishment that was disrespectful. crying being angry was disrespectful. You know, these different things were disrespectful. So I learned not to have these emotions. And I know from dealing with my clients and helping my clients and supporting them that they grew up that same way.
A lot of them did. They end up repressing these emotions. So look at your life and see where you're pushing against your own emotions. And the first step to healing your anxiety is to stop pushing against them. Allow them to be there. So again, the process is a three-step process and the first part is the experience stage.
So you're allowing that feeling to come in. That's the first part of the process is the feeling part of it. It's you're experiencing the uncomfortability of the emotion. And because you're experiencing in an uncomfortable moment. The first tendency is not to just relax and let go. The first tendency is to push against it. By fighting it. Not wanting to feel it doing anything you can to divert that feeling.
For me, it used to be eating. The uncomfortableness would bring me to different chaotic moments in my life because I didn't want to feel it. And I avoided it and stuffed it down. So, if you can allow yourself to experience the feeling that you're having. Then you're going to allow that first part of the process, that emotional process. So the second part of the flow is the acceptance stage.
And this is where you are given the opportunity to simply accept what is. You accept that you were hurt by someone you accept that you hurt yourself. You accept that the universe gave you this opportunity for growth. Is uncomfortable as it is. You just accepted. Now, when we fight against the stage, we are pushing against it with our mind.
We're asking ourselves why. Why is this happening to me? Why did this have to happen? Why did he, or she do that? Why did God do that? Why did the universe do it? Why is this happening to me right now? And why. Has no value. In presence.
Presence is being still within yourself and being the oneness that you are and being the spirit that you are. Okay. One is meaning. When you are still in present being anchored into your body, you are one with God. You are there in that energy healing. Moment, because when you are one with God, then that is healing. Whatever's happening. That piece of you inside of yourself is just healing the emotion. And when you ask why you separate yourself from yourself. You separate you from you. When you ask why? Because God doesn't ask why. God just is. And you just are- presence, just is spirit just is it's there constantly like a lighthouse shining its beam.
It doesn't go away. It's there constant, pure flow, pure. Energy.
And so when you ask why you're screwing that up, you're dividing yourself.
So the best thing you can do is when you're feeling an experience of something, even if it hurts you, of course, it's hurting you in some way. Right. But even if it's hurting you, you should always just let it be what it is. Let it be what it is. This is the moment that the world has given you, the universe has given you this, and this is what it is. And accept it. Just be there with it. Invite it in. Invite the moment in. Okay. Don't let your mind take over and fight it by asking why just, play with that, that concept, that acceptance is healing. Acceptance is being still and being in you the most powerful being the most powerful moment that you have is to be present in you. That's where all your power is.
That's where all change happens. Transformation happens in the stillness of you. So, if you can accept and get out of your mind, then you're in God. You're in you. Okay.
So the third and final stage of the emotional process, the Flow,. This beautiful flow process is letting go. After you've experienced the uncomfortability and you've accepted that it's happened. Then you can let, the idea that had happened goes, so this would be forgiveness. This would be where someone did you wrong, someone did you dirty. And you're just like, you know what? I love you anyway, and I'm going to let this skull.
And yeah, this is a lot easier said than done. But if you're going to be in the power that you are in the God life, that you are in the stillness that you are. And really bring in that God energy that you are in that spiritual energy that you are, then you have to love. Even the ones that hate you, or even the ones that hurt you have to love them anyway and forgive them anyway. And you forgive the moment anyway.
Now does that mean you have to, go back and be a part of their lives. No, that's completely different from being still and forgiving someone. You don't have to be in someone's life just because you forgive them. Okay. You don't have to have anything to do with them anymore. If that's the choice that you're making you don't want to be in that person's life. You don't have to be in that person's life. You can simply forgive them and move on.
I remember when I was going through the stage of healing. Where I was just stuck in the Flow, And I just kept wanting to binge. There was something in me that would not stop wanting to run to food.
It was like, , I couldn't break that cycle.
And one day, I was just like, why can't I get out of this? Like, why is this continuously happening? Why can't I just be powerful enough to just let this go? I had this aha moment where it was like, okay, you need to forgive your father. You need to forgive your father for inviting or introducing you and to self-hate. And not loving you as you were. And starting that whole journey into food issues. You need to forgive him. Because if you don't forgive him, you're not going to move forward.
Emotions are very deep. These emotions that you've repressed go deep, very deep. It's not surface level stuff here.
It has the ability to just radically. Screw up your spiritual center. And your ability to connect to that spiritual center. Okay. So really for me, letting that goal for giving my dad for that and loving him anyway. And knowing that. He was going through his own. Crap at the time and his own blocks and that he loved me and it wasn't intentional. And if he knew that that was going to happen, then he wouldn't have done it.
That was what moved me forward.
That's what, that, that really opened up the flood gates for healing for me and things started changing rapidly. After I forgave him.
And forgiveness doesn't require much. It's just simply stating that I let go of this. . I let go of this. I don't need this in my life. I don't need to hold onto this. I'm going to let it go much, like when you have a helium balloon and you just like, let it out into the sky, it's just like that forgiveness is just like that.
It's like you're making the decision. To not hold on anymore.
And energetically, that is everything that is reconnecting to your source, to the beauty that is you that's reconnecting. And allowing yourself to become one. With that peace of God that you are. Okay. So that's the flow. The Flow is experience, accept and let go. When you're going to heal your anxiety, the Flow, has to happen. You begin to observe your life.
Just like I did. You become the detective, the researcher of your own life. And you begin to ask yourself, where am I putting up blocks to my flow? Where am I putting up blocks to God? Within me. Where am I putting up blocks? Then begin to watch yourself. As you go through your day and feel anxiety.
Now, the big question is how does someone relax out of all of that?
How does someone relax out of tumultuous feelings?
Out of cycles of negative thinking. Out of deep sadness.
How does a person do that? How do you do that?
We'll talk about that on the next episode.

Until then, adopt an investigator mindset. Really become the detective of your life. Begin to watch your anxiety. Began to watch your emotions watch how you react to your anger, your upset.
