Can We Trust Enough To Allow?

Can we trust enough to allow? 

That’s the big one — the challenge we all face on this journey to Self.   And not just once, but over and over again.

There’s trusting when it’s tough. When a job or a relationship breaks apart.  When a loved one dies.  When someone is injured in an accident and forever changed. 

This is the trusting when something or someone close to us leaves.  When we feel a bit ripped apart, unsure of how to make ourself whole again.  And the concept of “surrender” pisses us off.

There’s trusting when we’re in between. The old is gone and nothing new is showing up, as if we are living our own version of Ground Hog Day.  We repeat our days no longer feeling grounded in our life, much less ourself. “Surrender” becomes an annoying potential.   

There’s trusting when we start moving forward without knowing what’s coming in for us. We feel our energy coming back in and notice that we see our lives a little differently. We acknowledge what we’ve been through, but no longer linger there.  Eyes are facing towards the future rather than the past. “Surrender” is an act of faith.

Finally, there’s trusting when we know we are now more aligned with our Soul Self.  Our heart is open more and we tend to smile a lot.  We live mostly in the present, sensing as movement happens around us. We realize that “surrender” is actually about allowing life to flow through us - however it looks.

We feel love moving through us into the world. We are grateful for the support from our guides, our ancestors and the Divine.

We understand that we live in a benevolent Universe, seeing evidence of Grace all around us, and our attention is focused on how we would like to expand. We know life is messy and hard and beautiful and poignant, and we feel so incredibly lucky to have this time on earth. 

We trust enough to allow.
