Do you know that it is more challenging to trust ourselves and others when we feel stressed or overwhelmed?
When we are consumed with problems, we focus on getting by, our fight-or-flight response (or sympathetic nervous system) kicks in to defend and protect us. We direct our attention to avoid danger and minimize risk.
Trust, on the other hand, involves taking risks.
The fight-or-flight mode also puts us in a hypervigilant state, obstructing our circulation. As a result, our tissues and organs cannot heal and rejuvenate properly.
A compromised system causes us to make more mistakes and experience memory lapses. Our perception also becomes cloudy.
It’s common that people under prolonged stress don’t realize they are affected. Stress prevents us from discerning truth, let alone trusting people and opportunities that will support us on our journeys.
Many people have intuitive hits, but they do not act on them. It feels safer to maintain the status quo than taking a leap of faith.
Intuition is like a muscle that needs to be developed. The rewards come from regular practice. When we do not follow through with our innate wisdom, we won’t see the amazing gifts our intuition offers over time.
The question is: how do we stop the fight-or-flight system from being overactive so that we can cultivate deeper trust in ourselves and access the gifts Life offers?
Increasing our peace quotient is the answer. The more able we can regularly access the deep peace in us, the more we can melt away the chaos and noise around us. It is a form of resilience.
When we cultivate deeper trust, we can see beyond the appearances in situations and people; we recognize synchronicities and allow them to help us dissolve obstacles.
Manifesting our heart’s desires with greater ease, flow, and consistency also requires deep trust!
Increasing our peace quotient also expands our consciousness. It broadens our perception of how connected we are with all forms of life. We see life events as the elaborate design to help us step into our full potential.
As our consciousness evolves, we will notice more amazing shifts in those around us even when we aren’t trying to change anyone!ur
The world is becoming more complex, and we are given many opportunities to elevate our consciousness so that we can navigate life with greater ease.
Learning to trust life unfolding for our benefits may be easier said than done. When we are committed on this journey, we will be empowered to make choices that free us from struggling or running on the hamster wheel.
Deep level of trust also opens us to see the gems in the most mundane or difficult situations. We become alive and look at the world with fresh eyes. We also perceive the wisdom from the Universal Intelligence. Life is no longer a series of random events or mishaps.
If you wish to open yourself to renewed perception of Life, join the beautiful community for the next Empowerment and Energy Clearing Session on Friday, May 28 at 4 pm Pacific. The topic is Restoring Faith, Deepening Trust.
Regardless of the topic each month, it’s common that people feel deep peace and rejuvenated afterwards. The energy clearing allows our systems to be more open and receptive to wisdom and resources within and outside of us. Go to carmenlee.synduit.com/UMSW0022 to register for the event.
