Trust

When we walk through life with Trust, we walk with an open heart and vulneralblility.  When we walk with the awareness of Trust, we see that every instance and every moment is giving us the opportunity to become more of who we really are. By increasing our awareness to the level that Source, is ultimately connected in and through everyone of us and every living thing on this planet, there is never any real disconnection - only that of our awareness. This level of Trust and Awareness of our connection to our Source, can play a vital role in giving us the opportunity to stay present in the moment, trusting that we are safe as we feel our feelings.

As I read and contemplate Marion’s entry to her Kindred Blog, what comes up for me is that of becoming more accepting of ourselves in each and every moment, being present in the moment and staying in the moment. Being aware if we are judging ourselves for past actions or circumstance that have brought us to this present moment, and if we are allowing ourself the compassion, the wisdom and the acceptance of this very moment – as an opportunity to become more of who we are. By Trusting that where we are right now in this very moment is exactly where we need to be. There is no where else we are meant to be other than right where we are in this very moment, for it is this very moment that is giving us the opportunity to become more of the person we really are. Everything happens for a reason and every moment is a gift.

Many people are unaware that it is uncomfortable feelings that can seem like it is driving our behaviour. As soon as one feels uncomfortable in them (feelings), one can choose to immediately cover up those feelings by a cigarette, another drink or another form of addiction, but when that cigarette or otherwise is stopped, there is only temporary relief from the pain of those uncomfortable feelings. They may surface by another situation that is triggering those unfelt feelings and the more we ignore them - the louder these triggers will become. But if we stop and acknowledge what it is we are feeling, we can distinguish between present moment feelings or past unfelt feelings that are being triggered by current circumstances. There are also two types of feelings as Marion explains beautifully:

*“Something I’ve found really helpful with this self-friendliness is differentiating between – on the one hand, painful feelings that need to be acknowledged; and on the other hand, feelings that are simply created by the judgmental things I’m telling myself.”

Our uncomfortable feelings that come up in situations are coming up to be felt, for in feeling them, is the only way to move through them, to grow, change and to shift them. By doing this is, it is the bases for changing and shifting old outworn beliefs that are driving our life and usually taught in childhood through the people around us as grew we up.

As we grow in consciousness, awareness and Trust, we become more compassionate of ourselves, situations, and other people thus creating the safety we need to feel. To allow ourselves this compassion, trust and awareness is to allow ourselves to FEEL. By accepting this moment, accepting the feelings of this moment and feeling them, is to give yourself a gift – the gift of being in the flow. For the past 26,000 years, we have been dominated by Masculine energy. Right now as we speak, the Feminine energy is rising to become congruent with Masculine, finally reclaiming the balance that once reigned on this planet we call Earth. That which is Feminine is all that is feeling, compassion, love, nurturing, sharing, receiving, intuition, grace, understanding, acknowledging, forgiveness. Thus by allowing yourself to feel and shift through ‘your issues’ you are growing with the Earth and everyone on this planet as we shift into God-Consciousness.

Trusting this moment that you are in right now, is allowing yourself to receive – a very feminine energy. By growing in yourself, moving through your feelings with compassion and forgiveness, we internally heal ourselves, thus healing our lives and the planet

The ‘triggers’ in our lives, as well as our feelings are a gift to allow ourselves to grow and change. Don’t beat yourself up for feeling sad or angry – it is what it is, just be with it and feel it. Do you beat yourself up with your thoughts and question when you are happy? One would assume not, you are happy and you embrace it. By embracing all your feelings ‘good and bad’ is acceptance and moving back to wholeness – that which you are in Truth – Protected, Safe, Whole and Complete.
