Hi.
Welcome to your sacred kiss.
I welcome you to find a seat,
Close your eyes,
And simply listen.
Let the words and the sound wash over you,
Sink into your skin,
Your bones,
Your cells,
And the deepest part of your heart.
Faith is the opposite of control.
When we try to control the outcome of our lives,
And all the external circumstances that swirl around us,
We're not accessing the faith within that reminds us everything will work out.
Faith is not knowing the details,
But understanding the details don't matter.
Faith is the knowing that the play of spirit vibrates at the frequency of our highest good.
So whatever unfolds is in the service of that highest good,
Even when it seems bad.
Faith asks us to trust.
To trust in the overarching goodness of life.
To trust that life,
Like nature,
Has systems and patterns that restore balance,
Bring healing,
And hold us in the great weave of existence.
Faith is letting nature take its course.
Faith is releasing your grip.
Faith asks us to detach from our ideas about how things should turn out.
To release specific visions and expectations.
It invites us to linger in mystery.
To not know what's coming.
To not force outcomes.
Faith is counterculture.
Especially here in the West,
Where control is crowned as queen.
Faith asks a lot of us.
But once you get the hang of it,
Faith becomes the ever-present wind in your sails.
You connect with that wind by connecting with your breath.
Notice your faith that another breath will arrive.
It always does.
Feel your breathing.
Feel how it feels to breathe in.
Feel how it feels to breathe out.
Notice your certainty that an inhale will follow every exhale.
Feel the wind of your breath moving within you.
Let this captivate you.
Entrance you.
Let your attention rest here,
Uninterrupted,
As best you can.
The seeds of faith are planted with every breath that you are aware of,
And every breath you trust will come.
Your breath is the doorway to your faith.
