Living In "Divine Flow"

Reclaim Inner Peace and Balance So You Can Live Your Best Life

A 7-Week LIVE Experiential Online Course with Brian Plachta, JD, MPC, spiritual director, pastoral counselor, attorney, and author of Finding Flow—Spiritual Practices to Reclaim Inner Peace, Balance, and Wholeness. 

Discover a Time-Tested Pathway to Empower Your True Self and Experience Greater Wholeness, Gratitude, and Inner Peace.

The Creator is stirring…calling you deep within your heart to access the power of Divine Flow so you can achieve inner peace and find happiness in your day-to-day life.

In your Spirit, you can feel God’s, Spirit’s or the Creator’s invitation to live from your True Self.

You hear a gentle, loving whisper calling you home–back to your Center. You know the call is real and desire the courage to trust and take action on it.
Imagine living your best life:

  • Feeling connected to your True Self
  • Being divinely guided by the Creator
  • Experiencing pure joy, gratitude, and happiness

It’s possible to live the full and balanced life you desire, but our fast-paced, always-on world dams up the river of Divine Flow.

The pressures of daily gotta-get-it-done tasks of work, family, and social obligations leave little time for you to connect with the Creator and your Inner Self.

The world’s clamor and chaos stifle the sound of your inner voice of love and wisdom.
The rip tides of endless striving for success and perfection suck many of us in, dragging us into turbulent waters. We drift far away from our Source and Inner Self. We get trapped underwater gasping for holy air.

Our natural rhythm of Divine Flow—the one that leads to happiness and inner peace—gets drowned in the tsunami of daily survival.
Rather than giving us the tools to find the pathway to live from our True Self and grow in our relationship with the Divine, our gotta-have-it-now culture teaches us to get more, push harder, and listen to the confusing voices of a clamoring world.
We get overwhelmed. Plugged. Blocked.
Inner peace and happiness become illusive.

Lifeless, we go through our week doing the same old routine with little sense of purpose, low energy, and dulled interest in life.

Silently we  shout:
“I’m overwhelmed! I’m stuck in my head and can’t get out! There’s got to be a better way!”

And there is!

The pathway of Finding Flow allows us to discover and sustain the natural flow of inner peace and wisdom.

These time-tested Finding Flow practices—inspired by the lives of spiritual giants such as Mother Teresa, Thich Nhat Hahn, Saint Francis, and Thomas Merton—open the floodgates to Divine Flow connecting us with God and our authentic selves:

  • Flow that fills you with divine energy.
  • Flow that provides you with balance.
  • Flow that leads you to true happiness.

I know you want to experience:

  • Getting up each day filled with gratitude, joy, and purpose.
  • Hearing and knowing the voice of Divine Wisdom.
  • Discovering the life-giving path that will lead you to co-creating and attracting your deepest and highest desires.

I want you to experience those things too, that's why I created Living in Flow—to help you master 4 simple, time-tested spiritual practices that will transform your life.

Once you learn the basics of Finding Flow you’ll be able to get unblocked and live the life you’ve imagined.

You’ll know how to live in Divine Flow!

My Personal Story & Invitation to You

In my early 30’s, working 12-hour days as a lawyer, and raising a family, I was overwhelmed by life—stuck in my head—going through the motions. I struggled through each day in survival-mode.

I felt empty. Angry. My emotions came out sideways, in unhealthy ways.

I’d learned about God as a kid from my parents and religion teachers. But as an adult with a jam-packed life, God felt distant. Abstract. I questioned if there was a God.

I wanted to experience the Creator…directly.

I wanted to take what I’d learned intellectually and integrate it into a real-life, God-with-skin relationship—to know what the Creator feels like on the inside—in my heart—to feel the Divine has my back and we’re in this thing called life together.

I found new teachers who introduced me to age-old pathways and contemplative practices that helped me experience God’s presence in life-giving ways.

As a result, my relationship with the Creator shifted from a stale intellectual belief—to a real-life, felt-experience of the Divine.

I found increasing happiness and fulfillment in daily life. I expressed emotions in healthy ways.

I became a certified spiritual director and obtained a master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling. I wanted to help others experience the Presence of God in their lives.

My teachers invited me to create a Rule of Life—a personal mission statement— to steer my life’s course.

I looked to spiritual giants from all faith traditions—-people like Saint Francis, Jesus, Mother Teresa, Buddha, Thich Nat Hahn, Thomas Merton, and discovered four spiritual threads that were carefully woven into their lives.

I formed my Rule of Life around these giants’ four practices.

I call it Finding Flow—being One with the Divine Spirit who opens our hearts, allowing us to experience inner peace, balance, and wholeness. It’s the pathway that connects us with the Creator so we can discover and live from our True Self.

I’ve been teaching these practices for over thirty years.

I’m amazed when people integrate these simple tools into their lives how they experience this Universal Truth: the Infinite Being—Our Creator—loves and guides us with unconditional love and wisdom, and we can connect with Being.

Over the years, people have asked me to provide an in-depth teaching of the Finding Flow pathway.

So, here it is—the course that will provide you with the spiritual tools you need to get into Divine Flow—to live the life you’ve imagined!

Here’s What People Are Saying About Brian and the Finding Flow Pathway

“Brian was a presenter at the Spiritual Life Center in West Hartford, CT. His Finding Flow Workshop was outstanding, engaging, and experiential. He helped us see ourselves through God’s eyes. We experienced a new pathway for finding flow in our lives and in our community.”

Lisa Hudkins

Spiritual Director

“Brian Plachta’s words never fail to feed my soul’s appetite for encouragement, inspiration, and hope. Brian’s gentle and thoughtful insights always provide a cleansing breath to center me.”

Tess Enterline

Writer, Blogger, and Former Hospital Chaplain

“Brian’s teachings have been a spiritual gift for me. Full of practical—and often amusing—insights that bridge the gap between what we believe spiritual growth to be and the everyday reality of what it really is. Brian finds spiritual lessons tucked into traffic jams, spats with spouses, the mundane, and most importantly, our disappointment when we stumble in our quest to respond to life with a non-judgmental open heart.”

Victoria Vuletich Kane

Vuletich Law Firm, Ethics² LLC.

“With humor and simplicity, Brian invites his audience to experience God in everyday situations; to step past any belief God is remote; and to practice trusting the spacious, ever-present love that holds us always. Brian’s work is uplifting and fun. It may change you in wonderful ways!”

Gail Watkins

Contemplative Spiritual Director and Retreat Leader

Here's What Others Are Saying About Brian and Finding Flow

“Brian’s insights and reflections feel like he’s inviting me to sit on his front porch on a summer night for the kind of chat I always enjoy—simple wisdom that draws me into deeper communion with God.”

Jordan Cooper

Husband, Father

““I discovered Brian at a dark time in my life. My son died, my husband left me, I retired from a 35-year career I loved. Brian helped me reconnect with myself—but most important with God—who had my back even when I didn’t feel his presence.”

Michele McCabe

Retired

“As a busy pastor I need to discern what’s the work of God in my life from what’s the work of the Church. Though the two intersect, they are different. When one is replaced by the other, life becomes unbalanced. The time I spend with Brian has been rich. Spiritual direction under his guidance helps me frame what is truly important in my life and see the work of God in me, and with me, as distinguished from the work of the Church.”

Reverend Dr. James D. Hegedus

Pastor, Presbyterian Church

“Brian’s authenticity and vulnerability shine through as he asks and often answers hard questions, describes his struggles, and ends in a place of love, courage, and worship. My journey into spirituality came without a compass or map. Through his writing and teachings, Brian offers heartfelt and practical guidance, making me—and I’m sure countless others—feel less alone as we navigate our human experience.”

Sandra Mitchell

Life Coach and Writer
