A Meditation for Trust

I think it’s safe to say that we all, at times, crave more trust. Trust that we’re where we’re meant to be. Trust that things are unfolding. Trust that the timing of our lives makes sense. That it’s leading us in the direction of our dreams.

Faith in the unknown and understanding the bigger picture takes time. It’s a lifelong practice and one that cannot be rushed. In moments of uncertainty, I tend to turn to meditation. Using it as a foundation to create geniune trust, which in tern infuses a sense of ease into my thoughts.

When you’re low on trust or simply want to build your faith…here is a step by step guide on how to do a simple ‘trust’ meditation.

STEP 1: Get into a comfortable position. Make sure it’s one you can maintain for an extended period of time. Grab some blankets, pillows, blocks or any other props you may need to set yourself up for success.

STEP 2: Begin to focus on your breathing. Following each round of breath. Watch it move through your body, almost like a wave.

STEP 3: Ask yourself ‘Where am I craving more trust?’ Sit with this question. Listening to anything that comes up. You may be met with silence, you may be met with answers. Try your best not to force. Let it be what is.

STEP 4: Release that question & those answers to the care of the Universe. Letting it all go on an exhale

STEP 5: Begin to repeat the mantra ‘May I trust’ silently in your mind. Gentle repetition, let it be easy.

Meditate like this with your mantra for 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes. Whatever feels best.

Have questions? Let me know! I’d love to hear from you.
