This Facebook memory just popped up, something I shared called, "Trust Creates Peace".✨Recycled message time🌱
✨Trust creates peace...
A few months ago, the phrase "trust creates peace" showed up on the end of a Yogi Tea bag string—and as I read the words, I remember feeling, "aaaahhhh...". It was as if my whole body, my whole Being, recognized those words as something familiar, something that felt "true"—and it relaxed. I felt myself release a deep beautiful breath, and there was a sense of spaciousness, peace.
Now that little slip of paper resides on the kitchen table where I can see it every day (and has also inspired a phone wallpaper design which I've shared below;-). Each time I see it, a spontaneous smile comes to my lips. I feel lighter, remembering I can let go of...? And then I take a moment to pause and reflect on what I my own direct experience of trust has shown me, again and again:
When I am in a state of trust, not only do I relax, but I feel safe, a sense of well-being, that my needs are and will be met. When I am in a state of trust, I remember that I do not need to resist what's happening in the moment. I do not need to hoard resources/power/ideas/control, or defend my truth. I can ask, take action or take a stand to honor something that feels important, but I do not ever need to force anyone or anything to be or do anything in response. Instead, I can let go (even if my well-intentioned Mind and memories argue hardily)—and allow the abundance and overflowing creativity of Life/the Universe/God to drive for a while. Because It, and my deeper Self, Know how to work things out—and for goodness sake, let it work its magic.
Sometimes, this trusting comes easily. At other times—it can be a practice. But when I do?
A different set of Universal Laws open up...
..life begins to flow more harmoniously. Things start falling into place, often with little or no effort. Opportunities and resources really do show up in perfect time. Solutions reveal themselves, or problems fall away altogether (even really big ones). Well-being arises naturally.
And in those moments of trust, when I release the fear, worry and doubt, and the limited ways of thinking, believing and stories of "not enough" that fuel them all—well, I experience what some might call "miracles". I realize, through my direct experience, that there is enough, enough healing, security, love, compassion, resources, joy. And I am at peace. And those around me tend to relax, some may be inspired or intrigued by what is happening. But the world is changing, whether or not "anyone else" is aware. Because, in that moment of Now, I have become a living, breathing vessel of peace.
And in all of its subtle, yet incredible power—that peace and the Universal Laws it invokes... radiates outward into all of Creation.
🌿I'd love to hear about your own journey with trust, with peace, or whatever you wish to share...❤️
