Trust

Trust is perhaps the most important element in working with our Higher Selves/Spirit and creating more freedom in our lives.

Unsuprisingly, it is also in natural flow from yesterday’s Intuition post. 😉

In a world of unknowns and intense energies, trust can be difficult to cultivate. In the old energy paradigm of power and control, we were also taught from a young age to trust others and not to trust ourselves. We were taught that we could not possibly understand or know how the world works so we had to abide by certain parameters in order to be safe. When we strayed from these, we were punished in some way. This type of indoctrination results in alienation from self-awareness and self-trust, as well as the equation of control and the exercise of will with trust.

Thus, to truly come into a relationship of trust we must unlearn these “rules” and reprogram ourselves.

Trust begins within.

In order to trust, we must know and feel that we are safe. This requires us to engage in a journey of self-discovery in which we face our fears and shine light on our programming. When we learn what truly makes us feel safe, we are able to begin to create more of that safety for ourselves in our everyday life. We no longer need to rely on another to “make us feel safe.” This is critical as the safety we provide ourselves can never be used against us or taken away from us unless we allow it.

As our understanding of self grows and we begin to create more safety in our lifes, it becomes easier and easier to trust. For as we start to take risks, we learn that we are okay, that everything is okay, and that everything will be okay. We stop battling illusions, windmills, and “what ifs.”

This is a process - one that shifts slowly at times and jumps forward in leaps and bounds at others.

As we become more trusting, we are able to leap from larger and larger proverbial cliffs. We find greater freedom and greater willingness to live our lives, rather than simply surviving them.

As we continue to explore, we find that we have more support from the Universe than we ever considered possible. We come to realize that we have wings and can fly.

This is when magic really starts to happen. ✨💫

Where are you willing to bring more safety into your life today? Are you willing to trust just a little bit more? What happens when you do?
