How To Build Trust In Yourself & Your World

by

We hear a lot of,

“You need to trust yourself”

“It’s important to build trust”

“Why can’t you just trust me?”

What does it mean to trust?

From a spiritual perspective trust simply refers to acceptance. Acceptance of what is. To not accept what is, is to create unnecessary pain and suffering.

But many people confuse acceptance with slavery. If we just accept everything, doesn’t that make us weak? Doesn’t that make me a doormat? Am I not naive to simply accept everything as it is?

Spirituality is not about being a weak doormat nor is it about changing the world.

Spirituality is being in tune with your nature and having enough conscious awareness (energy) to use your discernment in order to navigate life properly.

Trust is knowing that what is happening is what is supposed to happen because it is happening.

Trust in oneself is allowing yourself to express, feel, and know whatever you are consciously aware of and to allow this expression to reveal itself without hindrance.

Building trust with any person, place, or thing is simply living each moment open, aware, and free.

Trusting someone is staying consciously aware of the present moment and allowing yourself to express as you deem necessary.

Trust requires energy. Trust requires consciousness. Trust requires awareness.

Trust does not mean to be sleep walking your way through life and allowing someone else to make your decisions.

Trust does not mean to give up your power to anything outside yourself in exchange for safety, peace, or love.

Trust is the ultimate freedom because when you trust, you are in synch with your deepest Self; your innermost core, and therefore as the microcosm reflects the macrocosm, you are in synch with creation.

To trust means to walk powerfully in this world.

We exist to experience, to know, to taste, to live. Are you living your life or allowing someone else to dictate how you live your life?

Are you calling the shots and trusting yourself or are you willingly giving your power away to someone or something else?

How Do We Build More Trust?

Trust comes from conscious awareness and we build this by centering ourselves. 

There are many ways and means to practice centering oneself but one of the most consistent and powerful practices is meditation.

Meditation is the conscious stilling of the mind and body. When you become still you trust. When you trust you become still. These are two different sides of the same coin.

When you feel confused, anxious, scared, or depressed you are not trusting. You are hiding and running away from what is. 

Building trust through the power of meditation is the number one way to feel more in control, balanced, self-aware, and powerful.

Anger Part II – Self Inquiry and Visualization for Empowerment and Enlightenment

by

This is the second part to my video series entitled Frustration, Anger and Rage.

Please watch the following video for my step-by-step process on how to learn from your anger and transmute it into compassion.

 

 

To supplement the above video, please refer to the following instructions:

At the first indication of frustration, irritation, or anger please stop. Close your eyes. Take a deep inhale and exhale and continue this for up to 10 breaths. Align yourself to the present moment. Once you are settled, move on to the 5 questions found below:

5 Questions Back To Sanity: (Self-Inquiry)

1. Identify the cause of your anger and the reason you feel slighted.

2. Ask yourself, what just happened to trigger this?

3. Ask yourself, what are your beliefs that dictate you are justified in your reaction?

4. Ask yourself if your beliefs are a universal truth and fact that all humans operate by?

5. Ask yourself if there is a higher perspective available to you for this given situation. If so, what is it?

Visualization:

To the best of your ability, try and put yourself into the other person’s shoes. If you were them, operating under their exact life circumstances, their exact upbringing, their exact thoughts and emotions, and their exact energetic state, would you have been able to choose differently?

Tip: There is no perfect way to visualize. Whatever you can allow yourself to see and feel is what is right for you right now. Refrain from over analyzing with the mind and emphasize feeling with the heart.

Living In The Now – Your Empowering Conclusion:

This is why we go through this process; to empower ourselves through a wider variety of available choices and options by which to find a workable solution.

Everyone’s empowering conclusion will be different based on where they are at in their personal growth and capabilities. Some people may wish to end engagement, others may wish to be of help/service, while others may wish to orchestrate more elaborate solutions.

Each case is unique and there is no perfect or right solution – just what is best for you, right here, right now. 😉

Dealing With Difficult Relationships

by

Relationships are a fundamental aspect to our existence. From the time we are born to the time we have grown to be self-sufficient adults, we rely on human interaction and care in order to survive.

The foundations to how we relate to others is created largely through childhood and continues to expand and grow throughout our lives. As we grow, our relationship needs change.

One of the key recurring issues I see in my coaching practice are people who are unhappy with some aspect of their relationship with another person.

It could be their spouse, their parents, their boss, or friends. Whatever the nature of the relationship, somewhere along the way, people have become unhappy with how they interact with this other person.

They are no longer getting their needs met.

What happened? Whose fault is it? Is it them, you, or perhaps both?
