There are many words or concepts that relate to the word trust; openness, freedom, letting go, surrender, being. Correspondingly there are many related meanings for fear also; ego, defensiveness, doubt, worry, etc.
It is hard for some to feel or imagine what trust truly means or feels like, as it may be such a foreign concept for them. I think like with everything there are different degrees to which we experience trust.
I trust that when I breathe in I will breathe in air that contains oxygen, allowing me to continue to live. This is an unconscious or innate trust. I may be able to trust that I will have enough to eat and drink for the day. These days for some that may not always be a given. But what about trusting yourself?
Can you trust that your body knows what it needs? I think in the past we had a greater connection to the earth and our environment and probably could answer yes to this question. These days many turn to doctors whom they only half heartily trust, and so also look to complementary modes of healing, which include Nutrition, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Counseling, Massage and other bodywork therapies, etc. What about your mind? Is this something you trust? Finally, what about your place in the universe, your spiritual connection to divine, God? Are you someone that truly believes you are cared for, and someone who lives from that place, or do you have doubts, questions, and like many suffer from a disconnection between your mind and your heart?
Did you know you had a choice?
