Why are you here? What are you meant to do in this short span of human years on this planet? In Living in the Flow, author Jeanine Sciacca offers a guide to discovering your purpose and value in the world. She discusses how possessing a true sense of purpose is the centre of our existence. Until you discover and live your purpose, you meander through life searching for satisfaction and happiness. Happiness comes and goes, but purpose gives our lives meaning and direction. Jeanine Sciacca presents ideas and techniques to help you find yours. Filled with a mix of spiritual wisdom and her personal observations, Jeanine Sciacca shares how your life can have greater purpose by serving others. If your purpose doesn’t relate to others and is only about serving your self-indulgent ambition, it is not your life purpose. Living your life purpose is adding value to others to make this world a better place.

Developing a Consistent Connection to Source Energy
I started this book with the first chapter about developing a consistent connection to Source energy, not because I think it's the most important or the first step to living in the f low, but more to create the awareness that it is from Source energy that all things come. There is only one universal Source from where all things come. All things. Once you have an awareness that you don't even take a breath on your own, you don't beat your heart yourself, or digest your own food (consciously), or filter your blood, or think a thought without this one universal Source energy acting and flowing through you. When you can appreciate that every breath you take is from Source energy, you'll have an awakening that has the potential to change your life forever, in the most beautiful and profound way.
You and I cannot lift a finger without Source energy. It is the very essence of all life and all non-living things too. Ask yourself: Who shines the sun? Who lights the fireflies? Who turns the earth? Who creates the music? What is love? Who grows the baby in the womb? It is such a complex miracle of creation from literally no form, a single drop of protoplasm, to an incredibly complex form. How is it possible that the sun is the centre of our solar system and all planets revolve around the sun, specifically our beautiful planet, that if only one centimetre closer to the sun would burn, or one centimetre farther away would freeze. What is arranging this all in such perfection?
Where does the perfume of a f lower come from, if they grow in dirt that has no perfume? Where and how does the colour and creamy texture of an avocado get created out of brown soil or the colour and texture of a banana, or the white crisp cauliflower? How does it grow perfectly every time? And how do all these colours and textures and flavours get created out of brown soil that has none of these qualities?
How does a complex creation like a bird with feathers, a beak, eyes, feet, nails; a digestive, reproductive, respiratory, circulatory, and nervous system; and so much more get created out of liquid inside a shell? There are no pipes attached, no life support system, no cord, and no supply of all these components. It is on its own inside a shell. How is this created?
How does a butterfly emerge, with beautiful coloured wings and an intricately designed body with eyes, legs, reproductive system, magnificent wings with colourful designs, a respiratory system, and so on, get formed out of liquid? Yes, it is liquid in the cocoon that resulted from a decomposing caterpillar. How does this get created? And more impressive is that the DNA of the butterfly is different from the DNA of the caterpillar. How is this created?
My father is a doctor of geology and appreciates nature so much. He believes in creationism and dislikes all theories of evolution. He shared some interesting facts with me that amplified my sense of awe at nature's miracles. As an example, the Siberian salamander (salamandrella keyserlingii) is a little amphibian that defies all natural laws. They live in the north of Asia, close to the Arctic Circle and on permafrost plains, and they are known to survive deep freezes, as low as -45°. They can remain frozen for years (as dead) and upon thawing, they walk off. As my father says, it is incomprehensible if you do not believe that God can work and create in the realm of the impossible and beyond our known physical laws.
Concerning the sciences (physics, chemistry, mathematics), millions of people still think that the human mind invented them and their laws. How far from the truth. No one ever invented anything. It was there to be discovered and understood. With regards to geology, my father learned to view rocks as live entities and accept that they are ever changing physically and chemically. For example, crystals in voids grow in different directions and against gravity all the time; having a food supply or the right chemical minerals brought to them via fluids (geodes as an example). And they start from zero, no seed. How were these created? Have you ever pondered this thought? They have identities, classes, and groups, very intelligently organised. Others change identities or chemistry with the changing of heat and pressure, for example, diamonds. Everything was there. How are they created?
If you contemplate creation in nature, a simple blade of grass, a f lower, a tree, or a beautiful and intelligent animal like an elephant or dolphin, then have you even considered what a miracle of creation you are? You are the most complex creation in this universe. Where did you come from? Don't say your parents; their human bodies provided the droplet of protoplasm, but where did you come from? How were you created? All this divine intelligence that exists everywhere, including your eyes, reading this because light, in its perfection, reflects off the page, through your eyes, and gets interpreted by your brain because several neurons are firing (all without your effort or control) so that you are not only able to see these words but interpret them too. What a miracle of creation you truly are.
Have you ever contemplated your heart? In 2016, scientists at Waterloo University proved that emotions come from the heart and not from the mind. Individuals whose heart rate experienced wider variations displayed more wisdom and less bias-judgements. The heart is the centre of our life; you can continue living with a dead brain, but not with a dead heart. Your heart starts to beat only three weeks after conception, when you were the size of a mere poppy seed. Think of it. Think how small a poppy seed is. The heart works continuously for many years, with an average beating of one hundred thousand beats per day and over a period of seventy to ninety years. Your heart, the size of your fist, will pump more than a million barrels of blood, enough to fill up three long-range oil tankers. It has extreme precision and accuracy (to pale any Omega watch). It overruns and overrules your nervous system. You can anaesthetise your brain, nerves, and muscles, but not your heart. You cannot control it; your heart intelligently decides what your heart rate should be at any given moment, not you. It has its own internal power source and a unique electrical impulse that makes the muscle contract.
Try now, quickly, to squeeze your hand into a fist and then open it back again, over and over at the rate of seventy times per minute. Try! And notice how long you manage before your hand and arm muscles are tired, sore, and perhaps in spasm. You will not be able to withstand an hour, never mind a day and even less a year. How come your heart can? What kind of muscle is it? Isn't it still flesh, like the rest of your body? Do not try to explain the...
