Trust Yourself! Trust Life!

Today more than ever, as we feel the shifts that are happening in our lives, it is important to choose to align our awareness with the biggest source of energy there is, life! Life is what we are. Life is what we share with each other. Life is the easiest way to name what it is that created us. You may choose to call it God, Light, the Great Mystery or Spirit. All these descriptors convey this indescribable energy from which we are born and are always connected to.

Life inspires us to birth Love into manifestation. Without each one of us choosing a more loving response, a more trusting response to what we encounter in our daily lives, it doesn’t happen. There are many ways to bring love into manifestation and tap deeper the well of life that is within; and one is choosing to trust.

When we have trust in ourselves, even when we aren’t clear about our direction, or when faced with uncertainty, we create a channel for life energy to flow less impeded. Trusting oneself is really choosing to open our heart to what we don’t know, or to what scares us.

Trusting is not a concept. It is a feeling within the body. It originates in the heart and when we feel it, we move beyond the idea of what trust is and instead actualize it, and live it. This feels expansive, and opens the gate of the heart to flow more freely.

Imagine that right within our heart lives the ability to meet the changes that might challenge us. Rather than collapsing into doubt or cynicism, which is just one way fear disguises itself, we rise to meet it. Notice the difference in the energy of the words: meet vs. collapse. When we meet a challenge with trust we increase our ability to respond to life, and thus open up even more energy to sustain our lives, our expressions and creations. Trusting has the ability to stabilize us when an insecure feeling bubbles up inside of us.

The energy of trust is like a magnet – the more you have, the more you attract. Imagine how it would feel to really be able to sit in trusting your heart and what it feels? Doubt would no longer have a hold over you. You could move forward with more ease. Trust that you already have what it takes to make your dreams reality. Trust that you can transform your life in the ways that your heart and soul desires.

An Exercise:

Please take a moment and bring your attention to your heart for a few breaths? Allow yourself to feel that each breath supports the thought, “I trust this heart of mine. I trust that I am connected to Life.” Opening to trust life itself is accessible, right here, in this breath and your next. Watch what happens as you repeat this and connect to the feeling of trust inside each time you feel tense or anxious.

Choosing to trust life creates an energetic stance in the world that touches everything you touch, everything you see, and everyone you meet. Trusting life to bring you what you need changes everything. It fills you with energy to create your beloved projects, relationships, and professions. Even the often encountered conundrum of the process of transforming ourselves into more authentic beings, is fed and gently supported by choosing to trust life. Trust life and feel the difference!
