Transforming your relationship to distrust.
Welcome to this healing journey where we will explore and transform your relationship with distrust.
As you find a comfortable position,
Close your eyes and forget the rest of the world.
Just take some long,
Slow,
Deep breaths.
In through the nose and out with a sigh out the mouth.
Long deep breaths in through the nose and exhale out the mouth.
Allow yourself to fully arrive in this present moment.
Ready to free yourself from the prison of past pain and embrace a new way of trusting.
Trust is a gamble we take every day.
Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we get it wrong.
The challenge comes when past experiences,
Past hurts,
Past betrayals start to dictate how we approach trust in the present moment.
Trust can become a defense mechanism,
A way of protecting ourselves from being hurt again.
But when distrust becomes the lens through which we see the world,
It can trap us in a prison of our own making.
A prison built from the bars of old memories,
Past trauma and unhealed wounds.
I'd like you to take a moment now to connect with any feelings of distrust you may be carrying.
Just notice where that distrust resides in your body.
Don't get lost in the thoughts.
Focus on the feeling.
Is there a tightness in your chest?
A heaviness in your stomach?
Simply observe where you feel the distrust in your body now.
Distrust can feel like a heavy weight,
Like armor that you wear to protect yourself,
But armor that also keeps you from fully experiencing life,
Love and connection.
I invite you to shift your perspective now.
Distrust is not inherently wrong.
It can be a signal to be cautious,
To be aware,
To protect yourself.
But true discernment does not come from your head.
It doesn't come from past memories or from old pain.
Only distrust comes from your gut,
Your heart,
Your soul.
It's a deeper knowing,
An inner guidance that tells you when something is off,
But also tells you when it's safe to open up,
To trust and to let go.
I'd like you to imagine now that you're standing inside a prison.
Each bar of this prison is a past hurt,
A betrayal,
A moment when your trust was broken.
These bars have been constructed over time,
Each one representing an experience that left a mark on your heart.
But the more you hold onto these past wrongs,
The more this prison confines you,
Making your life smaller and smaller,
Limiting your ability to trust,
To love and to dream.
Today you are going to break free from this prison.
You don't need to carry these past hurts with you any longer.
They've served their purpose.
Now it's time to let them go,
To reclaim your freedom,
To start afresh.
So imagine now that you're standing before one of the bars of this prison.
This bar represents a specific pain,
A specific memory that's been holding you back.
I'd like you to visualize yourself reaching out and touching this bar.
Feel the coldness,
The weight of it.
Acknowledge the hurt that it represents.
But now take a deep breath and as you exhale,
Imagine that this bar begins to dissolve,
To break apart,
Turning into dust and blowing away in the wind.
And as it disappears,
Feel a sense of release,
Of lightness as a piece of your prison has gone.
Move on to the next bar,
The next memory,
The next hurt.
Keep repeating the process,
Acknowledging the pain,
But then letting it go.
Watch as each bar dissolves one by one,
Until the prison around you begins to fall away.
With each bar that disappears,
Your space becomes wider,
More open,
More free.
You are no longer confined by the past.
You're reclaiming your power.
You're reclaiming your ability to trust,
Your ability to open your heart once again.
Imagine yourself stepping out of the remnants of this prison now.
Feel the fresh air on your face,
The wide open space around you.
You are free.
You are free to trust again.
You are free to love again.
You are free to live fully.
The past no longer holds you captive.
You have the power to start afresh.
From this moment on,
To give each person,
Each experience the opportunity to meet you with an open heart.
Silently repeat to yourself now.
I release the past.
I break free from the prison of distrust.
I choose to trust.
I choose to open my heart.
And I choose to embrace life with faith and belief.
Feel the truth of these words resonate deep within you now.
Distrust no longer controls you.
You are now guided by your heart,
Your gut,
And your soul.
Not your past memories or old pain.
You have the wisdom to discern when to trust and when to be cautious.
But you also have the courage to give every new experience the chance to be something beautiful,
Something healing,
Something transformative.
Take a moment now to visualize yourself moving forward in life with an open heart,
With a sense of trust and freedom.
See yourself embracing new experiences,
New relationships,
New opportunities with a sense of faith and belief that the universe is working for your greatest good.
You are no longer weighed down by the past.
You are now free to live fully,
To love deeply,
And to trust the process of life.
As you begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment,
Take a few more deep breaths here,
Feeling the sense of freedom and openness within you.
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes carrying this newfound sense of trust and liberation within you as you move forward.
Always remember that you are not bound by the past.
You have the power to start afresh,
To trust,
To open your heart,
And to live a life that is full,
Expansive,
And free.
You are strong.
You are courageous.
And you are capable of transforming any feeling of distrust into a source of strength and empowerment.
Trust in yourself.
Trust in the process.
And know that you are always supported by the universe as you move forward with an open heart.
