Unconditional Trust
Today, we are invited to reflect upon our level of trust in the Universe.
We have all seen children playing with a parent (or other adult) in a manner similar to that represented in the picture above. Many children love to be tossed up in the air and caught. They find it exhilarating and often shout “higher” or “again” over and over. These children have complete trust that the adult will catch them.
Unfortunately, as we grow up we lose this sense of safety and security. We lose the sense that we will always be caught and will always be okay. We learn that things are potentially dangerous and that there is a laundry list of “what ifs” that may go wrong. This conditioning diminishes the risks we are willing to take and also fosters a hypervigilant state that seeks control over all variables in our lives.
In other words, we lose the natural state of being - trust, safety, and freedom - that we embodied as children.
We are being invited to remember that state of being and to open up and allow ourselves to be caught and held by the Universe.
Are you willing to do so?
As you contemplate this, gently reflect on what you truly believe.
Do things always work out in your favor, no matter what happens or how it may seem?
Do you wish to have a greater zest for life? Are you willing to allow yourself to do so?
Do you seek control in your life? In what ways, do you seek control? Why do you seek control?
Allow yourself to reflect upon these questions without any judgment. For no answer is good or bad, rather, it is intended to reveal to you what you believe.
How do you feel when you see a child playing as in the photograph above?
What does it trigger within you?
Does it make you smile?
Do you start to think about what might “go wrong”?
Do you wish it was you?
Do you remember what it was like when it was you? If you can remember, are you willing to create more of that feeling of being safe and flying free in your life?
Are you willing to play and try it?
Do you trust yourself?
Do you realize that your Higher Self is part of Spirit and part of your guidance team?
Do you realize that nothing happens in your life that your Higher Self does not allow?
Radical changes are coming this year as we step into more and more of the unknown! We are being reminded that not only are we always safe and Spirit will catch us, but that we already know how to fly. Are you willing to remember?
The affirmation that accompanies the card below is a useful tool as you begin to cultivate or deepen this remembrance. The world awaits!
Affirmation:
“I NATURALLY ATTRACT A DEEP SOUL-NURTURING GRACE THROUGH AN UNCONDITIONAL TRUST IN THE LOVING SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE OF THE UNIVERSE.”
