Trust.
More than ever in these difficult times,
Trust is a choice we must make.
Trust is a foundation for deep transformation and spiritual awakening.
Without genuine trust in ourself,
No amount of meditations or spiritual speakers will give us joy,
Vitality,
Or lasting attainments.
Trust is a sacred,
Heart-centered process that begins with letting go and seeing the hidden possibilities present in every problem.
It includes understanding the wisdom and grace present in our darkest hour.
For trust to blossom in us,
We need to see with our hearts,
And when we perceive with our hearts,
Our heart becomes so strong that we are sure,
Deep inside from our core,
That things will work out for our ultimate benefit.
This deep-seated trust has immense power.
It isn't just an intellectual exercise.
It has an energy that can move things.
Trust allows us to grow and experience genuine spiritual progress.
Why and how does trust bring these amazing benefits?
We will discover that in this meditation.
Trust challenges us to become unlimited.
If we view life as merely limited situations and relationships,
Then trust becomes elusive.
To learn to trust,
We need to be very gentle with ourselves.
It is not something we can force ourselves to do.
Keeping this in mind,
Let's meditate on three essential elements to regain trust.
The first step in regaining trust is releasing our false need to control everything and everyone around us.
We will first do a simple exercise to relax your muscles,
Which will prepare you for deep meditation.
Let's breathe in and out deeply.
While inhaling and exhaling,
I want you to tighten,
Hold for a moment,
And release your feet and leg muscles.
Take another deep breath in and out.
Tighten your stomach,
Hold for a couple of moments,
And then release your stomach muscles.
Now breathe in and out and tense your shoulders and then release the tension.
While breathing in and out,
Do the same with your fists and neck.
A couple more inhalations and exhalations while your body becomes totally relaxed.
You the soul are gently moving into your serene center.
You're beginning to feel calm and detached from your dramas.
Now see your life,
The situations in your life,
And your relationships as if you're watching a movie as a detached observer.
Take a few moments now and witness your life.
Just step away for a few moments.
Allow the soul to observe some of your recent scenes.
Be mindful to stay emotionally detached.
You are not trying to find solutions here or fix anything,
You are just observing.
Gently talk to yourself.
You have to let go of outcomes.
I don't have control over anything at this moment except my thoughts.
I have to let go of how things should be and how people ought to behave.
I accept,
I accept,
I accept that my only business is to have the most uplifting and spiritual thoughts in this moment.
Everything else I surrender.
I actively and willingly surrender my expectations.
There is an illusion of control,
But we really don't have any control.
Keep reminding yourself again and again,
The most important and powerful thing I can do now is surrender my illusion of control again.
I surrender.
Talk to yourself silently.
I feel no emotional investment in the outcome of situations.
For a few more moments,
Just keep watching your life like you are watching a film.
While observing your life as a detached witness,
You begin to hear whispers from your heart.
You realize these whispers are so different from your everyday wants as you move into your center and listen to your heart's deep yearnings.
You notice that you need spiritual wisdom and that you crave a sense of pure connection without any hidden agendas.
You feel so connected to your heart center at this moment.
This is giving you the strength to look inward and genuinely see your true spiritual identity.
You are consciousness.
You can never be created nor destroyed.
You always exist.
You deeply comprehend that you are not just the sum of your experiences or your lifestyle or your work or your relationships.
You are safe because if any of these change,
Nothing about the real you will be diminished.
Keep affirming to yourself,
I am conscious energy.
I am light.
I am love.
I am peace.
I am a gentle being of immense potential.
As you connect with your real identity,
You sense your eternal connection with the supreme soul,
The ocean of love and gentleness.
Allow the gentleness from God,
From the source of love to touch your heart.
You are deeply loved and cherished by the supreme soul.
You know in your heart that even though your body grows old,
Even though the world may come and go,
And even though the situations and relationships in your life might be fleeting,
The love of the supreme being is always constant,
Pure and true.
Nothing can separate you from this pure,
Faithful love.
You only have to remember it,
Immerse yourself in it and experience it.
No one can take this love away from you.
You are love,
You are lovable and God loves you absolutely.
Love is who you are.
The supreme being is your loyal friend that gives and gives and gives till you fill your being with pure love.
This love becomes a power in your life.
This power transforms you and makes you strong.
You realize that you are love,
You are lovable and you are loving.
You trust that this love will always be there within you.
You accept life as trustworthy.
It's not that things will go according to your plan,
But that God is always available to take care of your needs.
You deeply realize that your only business right now is to trust,
To listen to your heart deeply,
To live in your spiritual identity and to stay connected with the supreme being,
The ocean of love.
Om Shanti,
I am peace.
