SDEpisode23 - Trusting the Unseen

What do you do when you can't see the outcome, the answer, or the path ahead?

In this episode, we're diving deep into the art of trusting the unseen. The space between where you are and where you're meant to be. We explore the difference between hope and trust, faith and fear, and why true healing often requires us to surrender control and believe in what we cannot yet see.

Join us as we discuss:
- The difference between hoping things work out and trusting that they will
- How fear keeps us stuck and faith helps us move forward
- The power of surrendering what we cannot control
-Why patience is a necessary part of healing and growth
- Building resilience through life's uncertainties
- Learning to trust yourself, your intuition, and your inner wisdom

Whether you're navigating a difficult season, waiting for answers, healing old wounds, or simply learning to let go, this conversation is a reminder that some of life's greatest transformations happen long before we can see the results.

Take a deep breath, trust the process, and join us as we explore what it means to have faith in the journey, even when the next step isn't visible.

Welcome back, fellow yogis, to our podcast So Deep Yoga, Soul Deep Yoga and Healing from Whoopsies. Welcome, guys. I'm your host, Brittany, and next to me I have my co-host Kimmy, and we're excited to have you here. Yeah, welcome back. This is actually, we should give ourselves a shout out real quick. I think this is our 23rd episode. Heck yeah. I know. Um, they say noobs don't make it past the first ten, and here we are. Here we are. We're still doing it. We're still going. We've got lots of things to talk about, lots of things to share. And actually, I thoroughly enjoy doing this podcast with you, Kimmy. I do too. It's been very fun. So thanks for doing it with me, Brett. I love seeing the stats. I love seeing like our students who listen to us and they'll like give us suggestions and ideas and have feedback.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

It's yeah, it's been really fun. So thank you to everyone who's listening right now. We really appreciate you.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Yeah, we've had a lot of fun doing this, and so it's an honor to share our knowledge with you.

SPEAKER_01 1:10

How was your week? Dude, I've had a great week. Um, it's summer, it's nice weather. Um, I got to go down and hang out with my family, and we went up to uh the Kay's Creek walking trail. There's like a private reservoir up there, up in uh Clearfield. Never been over there, and that was pretty cool. It was actually really nice. And then I also gotta go, I golfed 18 holes yesterday. Oh my gosh. It was so fun. Um, I got a sunburn, of course. I'm always getting sunburnt, but you'll be pasty tomorrow. Yeah, pretty much. But I had fun. I actually I played a lot better yesterday, probably the best I've ever played, so that was good because the last time I played was like the worst I've ever played. So, you know, there's always a balance. There's always there's always hope. If you guys listened to last week's episode, there's always something to be hopeful for. I was hopeful that I was gonna be good at golfing and I I did okay. I'm still not good, but I did better.

SPEAKER_00 2:10

So I haven't played since the last couple times, since I think Mother's Day, which I should probably get back out undo some nine holes. I've been taking the lessons up there weekly for beginners, yeah. And I'm finally like, I was totally holding my thing wrong. What is it called? Your club? My club, there we go. See, I know nothing of this sport, and last year, like I felt so bad for junior when we were doing leagues that I just like I couldn't keep score. Like I had to follow a parent around, figure out what was going on. Oh my gosh, mom. And so just yeah, learning and but I yeah, I've been doing that. Um my kids are doing golf, like so. Heck yeah. We have been up at the golf course a lot this week, so that's fun. It is fun, it's a very typically like it's a very impositive environment. Like John does a great job running that clubhouse. Um I I love Preston Golf Course. I've played at all the golf courses here in Cash Valley just because like junior did that traveling league. Yeah, and oh man, definitely Preston. Like, I think the Logan one was the hardest, so yeah. I've heard that that one's very hard actually. And I we were on the back side, and I don't know what that means, but people just the back nine. It's like a whole new world over there, so that's fun. Did you do anything else this week? I did. We went well, I went to the lagoon twice this week. Once with the kids, and then the second. This is actually my magic moment. Okay. Um, the second one uh time actually me and my husband went by ourselves.

SPEAKER_01 4:01

Yes, you guys deserve to go by yourselves.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

Absolutely. Um date night. There's been only one time that we stayed away, or like we like did something that was just us, and it was short, it was like maybe four Oliver was like four months old. He wasn't very old, and we didn't know that he was autistic, but that was the last time, like, and that was like a one night overstay, so it was really nice. Um, because like we have been typically like lately, we've been using like grocery shopping as our way, but I'm just like for a loan. No, like we just we bicker, we don't get along because it's already stressful to spend all that money on groceries, and the grocery stores are always crowded, and they're gonna run by five people that you know. Oh, I know. So he I mean, you heard him when he left today, he was like, You can just go by yourself, I'll stay home. Uh-huh. And I'm like, okay, which I'm gonna wear my headphones and listen to a book. Because typically, if I wear my headphones into a grocery store and people know me, they won't talk to me because I have my headphones in. So, little trick of the trade. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

If you don't want people to talk to you at the grocery store, put your headphones in. Make sure they're like obvious headphones too. Like, even if you have like the over-ear earmuffs, better. Yeah. Yeah. Make it obvious you're listening to something.

SPEAKER_00 5:31

I know, like, I'll have my ear pods in, but I'll purposely have my hair pulled back. Uh-huh. So you can see there's something in my. Um, yeah, and I just have been kind of like on a high on it, like all for the like the last 24 hours. Like, we it was I've never been on a roller coaster with my husband. And we went on several, and so it was it was fun, and he made me almost be my pants because I was laughing so hard. And so when I first met him, like it was like that, and it's still like that, but it's not like that honeymoon phase, and I was totally yesterday eating it up. I was like, this is so fun! Like, we like why have we not been doing this? Like, it was really nice. I was like, we need to probably do this a few more times this summer, yes. Oh, good. I hope you do, yeah, and also spend times with your spouse, like alone time. Don't do the grocery shopping together. Actually, physically go do something. And I even told Matt, like, we did have dinner on the way out, but like we didn't like because yeah, like I was like, we're not doing dinner as a date, like we're going and doing something completely out of our comfort zone. We're gonna have fun.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

Good. Yeah, it was great. I'm glad you had fun. Yeah, it's gonna be a great summer, I think. Heck yeah, I feel that too. It's already been a good summer so far. Yeah. Well, I have a magic moment I want to share. Okay. Um, I was at the gym this week and one of our yoga students came in. And um he was talking about this. We were doing uh a skindasana, and so he was talking about he's like, Oh, I'm just not flexible. He was like coming in, he's just like, I wasn't doing very good with that one. And I was like, Oh, let's let's look it over, you know, and so we looked it over and I like helped him like with his alignment, and I like showed him showed him how to modify and stuff, and he's like, Oh, that feels you know, that's way better. But anywho, after that, he started talking my ear off, and he comes to our Sunday class like every week, like yeah, he's been coming for a few months now. And um, he was just he like was just telling me about how much he appreciates us. He's like, Well, he's like, I hope you know that I see what you guys do for your Sunday class like takes a lot of effort, and like what you guys have made there is really special, is what he said. And I was like, Oh, thank you.

SPEAKER_00 7:53

I just I love when when somebody acknowledges our hard work, it just it makes you feel good because you're like you know, we're human, we get into that mindset. Like, am I doing good enough? Like, yeah, like I love, yeah. We love to hear we love to hear feedback.

SPEAKER_01 8:07

Yeah, so that was that was just really nice, and or just a good time anyway. Like it was just like a good experience. We're like talking yoga, popping them out, like on one-on-one, you know, just this like oh okay, keep your heel down here, you know, and it's just it's uh and it's so much easier to work with students when you're alone with them, yeah. Versus because like you know, it's hard to adjust people when there's 12 people and you'd have to slither through three just to go adjust one person, you know what I mean? Yeah, so so yeah, and I love when people ask me questions like that at the gym because I'm like, oh yeah, here, let me show you. You can try this, this, and this. Yeah, we have some really good students.

SPEAKER_00 8:44

Shout out to our students, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:46

Shout out to all of our students. We have so much love for you.

SPEAKER_00 8:48

Oh yeah, like an appreciation and gratitude, and like I could write a two-page like report on how much I love our students.

SPEAKER_01 8:55

No, seriously, they they are what make this place feel like home. Like it's why we're here, you know. But we've we've created a really cool community up here that I'm really proud of. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 9:07

I think so too.

SPEAKER_01 9:09

Do you have any loves for today? Yes. Well, it's just like to piggyback right along what we were talking about. Um, I love when we have like new people come to the studio and it's like they come once and then it's just like they're religiously here, like a couple times a week, if not more. Um, we've had a couple of those people lately. Like we, yeah, it's just I love when people come and they just they feel like they're at home, you know.

SPEAKER_00 9:32

Yeah, we've had one student that like she found out we did sound baths, and she was like, What? She was like, I've only been listening these to these on YouTube. And she consistently started coming to our sound baths.

SPEAKER_01 9:43

Yes. And it's just, yeah, it's cool when we've the people like find us and then they're just like here for it. Like, we have like quite a few people that have found us like that, and they just they come once and then it's like, oh yeah, I'll be here every week, you know? And like if they're gonna miss a week, like they tell me, and they're like, I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_00 10:00

Or like when they go take another class from somewhere else. Yeah, and they're just like man, they're like it was great, but it wasn't you guys, you guys, and so we're just like so. We kind of have like a little joke about it.

SPEAKER_01 10:16

Uh but yeah, I just yeah, I love that people feel home here, you know. Yeah, and I'm glad for those people.

SPEAKER_00 10:24

But that was also our intention when we started talking about opening up a studio, like even before, like it was just a thought, and we would just be like, Yeah, I just want it to be like community, like where people belong. Um talk about like manifestation as finest. For real, yeah, it's been so cool. I feel like we definitely manifested this together and we created a yoga baby.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

Yeah, we did. This is our yoga baby together of a studio. We are.

SPEAKER_00 10:54

It's what it feels like, anyways.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

Yeah, I feel like a first-time parent for sure.

SPEAKER_00 10:58

I'm learning every day. Oh my gosh, like yesterday I had my maintenance hat on.

SPEAKER_01 11:04

Yes, yeah. We we wear many hats. We're IT, we're HR, we're maintenance, we're instructors, the owners, everything. But it's been fun. Do you have any loves?

SPEAKER_00 11:16

I don't have any loves, but I have a would you rather for you. Oh, okay, switch it up. Okay. I just have had a great week that like I just I've yeah, I'm content. Okay, would you rather master forgiveness or master self-love.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

Wow. That's kind of intense. I'm gonna go with I would rather master forgiveness, because I think that's harder out of the two. I I've been working on the self-love for a minute. I can confidently say I love myself. Like I've I've been working at that hard and I work at it every day, but like the forgiveness, there's still a lot of there's people that I haven't forgiven and same that I which we're human, you know. Yeah, yeah. And like if I could master forgiveness, like that's that would be really powerful, I think.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

Absolutely. Plus, I think if you like can master forgiveness, like underneath all of that is the self-love.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

Exact yes, because you have to be able to like forgive yourself for like the mistakes and everything that you know, the things that didn't work out, you gotta be able to forgive yourself to fully love. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, I love that. We should do more of those. Okay, bet all right, Kimmy. You pulled I pulled the candle magic card from the comfy cozy witch oracle deck by Jenny Blonde. Um, this card is actually pretty cool. It's a melted candle, but it's got like a rainbow aura around it, which is kind of cute. Alright, so with this candle magic card, we get a mantra, a message, and a prompt. Starting with our mantra. I find solace in quiet time for myself and my practice. The message. The gentle glow of a candle can be a powerful ally in your magical journey and an integral to finding peace and respite in an otherwise chaotic world. This card encourages you to use the soothing energy of candle magic to create a sanctuary of sorts for yourself. Find a safe and sacred space in your home and light a candle in a color and scent of your choosing. Allow the flame, symbolizing tranquility and care, to guide you to moments of rest. This is a time where you need to focus on yourself, on caring for your body, and on tending to your spirit. Allow the magic of the candle to help you do just that. Hold a candle in your hand and speak the following. By the light of this candle, I invite respite and care into my life. I honor my need for rest and nurture my spirit with compassion. And lastly, your prompt to leave you with what parts of my being, whether that's mind, body's, or spirit, need care at this moment? And how can I better care for this need to focus on respite and healing? Dang. Look at that. I like that card. That is a good card.

SPEAKER_00 14:25

It's actually really pretty too.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

It is really pretty. It's got flowers around it too.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

Also a great reminder reminder.

SPEAKER_01 14:31

Yeah. Rest. Rest and care for yourself. And also, like, there's something so comforting about lighting a candle. Like, I'm the type of person that, like, whenever I'm cleaning my house or if it's raining, I like to light a candle.

SPEAKER_00 14:46

Like, it just for your house sits underneath all those trees, like you totally have the aesthetic for it.

SPEAKER_01 14:54

Oh, thanks. Yeah, I love to light a candle. So yeah, let that be your symbol moving on to prioritize that self-care.

SPEAKER_00 15:04

Yeah, great card. Alright, what are we talking about today, Britt? Alright, so last week you talked about hope, and I was like, well, what comes after hope? Trust, right? So um, we're gonna talk about trusting the unseen. Alright. Alright. Um, most of us spend our lives searching for certainty. We want to know where we're going, how things will work out, and when our efforts will finally pay off. We want guarantees before we even move forward. But instead, life asks something different. Life is gonna ask us to trust before we can see. The most meaningful transformations happen in places we cannot observe. Just like a seed grows beneath the soil long before it breaks to the surface, a baby develops in the womb long before it enters the world, your muscles strengthen during recovery, not during the workout, and healing often takes place beneath awareness before we recognize the changes. Trusting the unseen is learning to believe that growth, healing, and transformation are occurring even when there is no visible evidence. It is one of the most hardest spiritual practices because it asks us to let go of certainty and lean into possibility. So last week, hope. Um, just to kind of brush up on hope, hope is often the first thing we reach for when life becomes difficult. Hope is what allows us to keep going when circumstances don't yet reflect what we desire. It is the small voice inside that whispers, maybe tomorrow we'll be different. Hope is powerful because it keeps us connected to possibility without hope. Without hope, people become stuck. They become they stop trying, they stop dreaming, they stop believing change is available to them. But hope alone can sometimes feel fragile because it is often becomes attached to a specific outcome. We hope the relationship works, we hope the test results come back positive, we hope the opportunity appears, we hope life unfolds exactly the way we've imagined. When those outcomes don't happen, hope can feel shaken. This is where a deeper trust becomes necessary, and a deeper trust that will tell us, even if life unfolds differently than I expected, there is still wisdom in the path. Trusting the unseen means allowing hope to inspire us while not becoming dependent on a particular outcome. It is trusting that life may be creating something beyond what we can currently understand. And to share today's quote, I have I trust that life is unfolding for me even when I cannot see the whole picture. Every day we imagine futures that have not happened yet. Sometimes those imagined futures are beautiful, sometimes they're terrifying. Fear spends its energy creating stories about what could go wrong. It's the what if I fail? What if I get hurt? What if I lose everything? And what if I'm not enough? What makes fear so interesting is it is rarely focused on the present moment. Fear usually lives in the future. Fear tries to convince us that uncertainty is dangerous. Something else that lives in the uncertainty though is faith. Faith is going to help us make the decision to move forward despite that uncertainty. Faith is going to tell us, I don't know what is coming, but I'm willing to trust that I will meet it when it arrives. None of us know what tomorrow is going to hold. Fear doesn't know, faith doesn't know. The difference is where we place that energy. One is going to keep us frozen, and the other is going to help us move forward. Trusting the unseen means learning to recognize fear without allowing it to drive our decisions. Which I can totally relate to because, like when I start getting in that spiral, um it's typically you it's fear motivated, and yes, it is about the future. Um, and it's typically about Oliver. Oh, it's the unknown. It's the unknown, yes. And um, it is scary. Um, it's very much more like I don't worry about it as much as with my other kids, but like with Oliver because his disability is like like yeah, I just I will go into a spiral and I have learned real fast to get myself out of it because I'll just get super emotional and I'll just start crying. So, um, how are we going to move from fear into trust? I have seven little tips here that we're gonna go over. Um, the first one being we're going to return to the present moment. Fear is almost always living in the future. Again, it's asking, what if this doesn't work out? What if I fail? What if something bad happens? When you notice that fear taking over, you're gonna stop and ask yourself, what is actually true right now? Not tomorrow, not next week, not six months from now. It's what's true right now in the moment. When you do this, you're gonna start to see that you're breathing, that you're safe, you're supported, and that you are capable of taking the next step. Trust will grow when we stop living in imagined futures and return to the reality of the present moment. The second thing that you're gonna do is you're gonna focus on that next step, not the entire path. It's gonna be that next step. We always talk about baby steps and how they're really, really important. Because if we just go all in, we're gonna burn out and then we're not, then we're not gonna want to practice any of these. So we want to make sure that we're taking those baby steps so it's easy and manageable.

SPEAKER_01 21:27

Bite-sized goals is something you can actually accomplish like within a 530 to 30 minute times frame, you know, like so small, so doable that you know you can get them. It's not only one thing. You can get one thing, and that one step is already just one step better than where you were.

SPEAKER_00 21:48

So absolutely. One of the biggest reasons we become overwhelmed is because we're trying to see the entire journey. Life rarely shows us the whole map. Trusting the unseen isn't about Knowing the destination. It's about taking the next aligned step. Instead of asking, how's this all going to work out? I want you to ask yourself, what's the next right step? That question is going to feel manageable, it's going to feel validating, and it's going to create actual movement. The third thing that we're going to do is we're going to gather evidence of your strength. When fear's yelling, I can't handle this, you're going to challenge it. You're going to think about everything that you have already survived. It could be the heartbreaks, the losses, disappointments, challenges. You're just going to stop and think about all those things that you've made it through. And just take that self-reflection.

SPEAKER_01 22:49

We're very resilient creatures. Like we are. Yeah. When you think about it, it's like you might be feeling weak in this moment, but you've you've been strong this whole time, you know, the whole time. You just need to stop, appreciate, and take those baby steps to move forward. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 23:08

Um, yeah. So you're gonna look at the evidence. Um, you've already survived every difficult day that you've experienced. And that's really the only thing that matters. I have a funny analogy for this one. It's like taking your gym selfies. Like we take them for a purpose, right? Like I know some people are very like, oh, he's in there taking pictures of himself. I'm like, well, there's also a purpose to those pictures. Like I know you're comfortable with the flexing and the no-shirts with the men. Like, I that's understandable, but also like they didn't look that way a year ago. And they like to be able to look at their growth so they know that there's growth there. Yeah, that's just a good analogy. I know I come up with some really weird analogies sometimes, and then I'm like, um, number four, we are gonna get out of our head and back into the body. Um, fear creates a lot of mental noise. When we start spiraling in that worry, there is a clear sign. This is a clear sign we need to reconnect with our body. Um, some simple ways that you can do this. Um, you can take a walk, you can practice yoga, um, put your bare feet on the earth, um, take deep, mindful breaths, shake out your hands and arms, or dance it out to your favorite song.

SPEAKER_01 24:36

Yes, or sing it out. Yeah. Or sometimes for me, it's like thrown in a handstand in a field. Like it's just like just because I can, or like we were talking about this earlier too, but sometimes for me it's just like literally driving home in pure silence. Absolutely. Like I get overwhelmed sometimes. I'm listening to things all day, I'm talking to people all day, and I'll just go home and it's just quiet the whole ride. No music, nothing. Just me in the car. Well, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 25:04

That's like technically like you time. Like you're like, I just need to be alone with myself with no distractions. Yeah. Um, our bodies are living in the present moment, and movement helps bring us back home to ourselves, getting us out of that mindset of fear. Number five, we're gonna stop asking, what if it goes wrong? A good majority of us spend a lot of time rehearsing disasters. We rarely ask opposite questions of what is what if it goes wrong? When you catch yourself in that mindset, you're gonna ask yourself instead, what if it, instead of saying, what if it goes wrong? You're gonna ask yourself, what if it works out? What if the opportunity comes? What if the healing happens? What if the relationship improves? What if this challenge is preparing me for something greater? Um, this doesn't mean that we're ignoring reality. This just means that we're trying to find some balance here. Um, that last question really hits hard because like I'm always I have gotten into that, like we've always talked about like rewiring that mindset, rewiring our brain. Man, I've done it. You need to be doing it every day. And then when like say just something like not tragedy, but like when things get really stressful at home with like a kid or something, or just like life in general, you know. Um, I always think that this challenge that I'm going through is preparing me for something greater. Yes. And typically something greater happens. Yep. So yeah. Number six, practice small acts of trust. Trust isn't built through giant leaps, it's built through tiny moments, through those tiny baby steps that we always talk about. Give yourself some grace and trust yourself to rest when you're tired, speak up when something feels wrong, set boundaries, keep promises to yourself, and honor your intuition. Every time you follow through with yourself, trust grows. And it might be little by little and day by day, but it's still growing, and that's that counts. That's what's important. Um, the final little tip here that we have is you're gonna create a trust ritual. When fear starts to take over, you're gonna create a simple ritual. Um, it could be lighting a candle. Um, if you're into card pulling, just pull a card. Um, you can meditate, you can journal, um, even sitting in silence, meaning my car, or with your morning coffee, letting I do, I it was really funny because I do that. Like it was like, I do that. Like um, it's the pause that you're taking. It interrupts fear and it creates space for wisdom to enter.

SPEAKER_01 28:07

Yeah. And it's like settling into your own safety, you know, that like you can be comfortable with your own self and like be fine just sitting with that. Yeah, just sitting with who you are.

SPEAKER_00 28:18

Absolutely. All right. Um, Kimmy is gonna do the note card activity.

SPEAKER_01 28:25

All right. So, yeah, if you guys have a journal, a piece of paper, anything to write down, or if you just want to reflect on these questions, that's also great. Um, but our first question that I want you to answer is what fear are you ready to release today? Maybe it's that fear of the unknown, that fear of failure, fear of being loved, fear of being seen, fear of being felt unworthy, whatever it is. What fear are you ready to release today? You can pause here, take a moment to reflect and write it out if you'd like to. And then the second question that you're going to answer is what truth, trust, or affirmation am I going to choose instead? So maybe that is choosing that you are lovable, you're whole, you're connected already. Maybe it's trusting in your ability to handle whatever comes your way. Maybe it's the fact that your voice matters or that you're stronger than your own doubts. Um, this personal affirmation, I use this all the time. Because like whenever I feel like I'm like missing out on things, um, I love this affirmation that is what is meant for me won't pass me by. And so I like to use that one. So, but just yeah, think again. What truth, trust, or affirmation are you gonna choose instead? So we're choosing to hold on to this just like we choose to hold on to hope. If you listen to last week's episode, we're releasing that fear and we're choosing to hold on to that truth, to that trust within ourselves instead. All right, Britt.

SPEAKER_00 30:03

All right. We you're gonna pause, reflect on this, you're gonna continue writing, and when you're ready, you can come back to our allow your body to become completely still. Let your shoulders soften. Relax your jaw, unclench your hands, and feel the support beneath you. There's nowhere to go, nothing to fix, nothing to figure out. Take a slow deep breath in and gently let it go. Again, inhale, peace, exhale, tension. One more time, breathing in trust and breathing out fear. As you settle into stillness, imagine yourself standing on a path. You cannot see the entire road ahead. The path curves beyond your view. Part of you wants to know where it leads. Part of you wants certainty, and part of you wants proof. But today you are practicing something different. Today you are practicing trust. Take a slow breath in. And silently repeat: I do not need to have all the answers to take the next step. Feel those words settling into your heart. Another deep breath. I trust that life is unfolding for me even when I cannot see the whole picture. Allow yourself to soften. Release the need to figure everything out, breathing in deeply. I release the need to control every outcome and exhale. Imagine placing your worries down beside you just for this moment. You do not have to carry them. Breathing in. I am safe in this moment. Notice your body. Notice your breath. Notice the support beneath you right here. Right now. You are safe. Another slow breath in. I trust my ability to handle whatever comes my way. Think of everything you have survived. Every challenge, every loss, every hard season. You are still here. You have made it through before, and you will again breathing in. The path is revealing itself one step at a time. You do not see need to see the entire journey. You only need the courage for the next step. And allow your body to relax even deeper. Breathing softly. I honor my fear, but I choose not to follow it. Fear may be present, and that's okay. You don't have to fight it. Just simply acknowledge it. And then gently choose trust instead. Another slow inhale. I trust the timing of my life. Release comparison. Release rushing. Release the belief that you are behind. Life unfolds in seasons. And your season is exactly where it needs to be. Breathing deeply healing is happening even when I cannot see it. Imagine roots growing beneath the earth. Invisible, quiet, yet growing stronger every day. Trust that your healing is doing the same. Slow inhale. I am stronger than my doubts. Feel your strength. Not the strength that never falls. The strength that rises again and again and again. Imagine a gentle light glowing within your heart. A quiet inner knowing. A wisdom that has always been there. And allow yourself to trust it. One final deep breath. I surrender what I cannot control and focus on what I can. Feel yourself letting go. Releasing, softening, trusting. And now place both hands over your heart if that feels comfortable. Take one final breath in and silently repeat. I trust myself. I trust the process. I trust the unseen. And just rest in that feeling for a moment. Allowing yourself to simply be supported, guided, and held. When you're ready, begin bringing awareness back to your breath, back to your body. Carrying this trust with you as you move forward. One breath. One step. One moment at a time. Slowly bring your hands to heart center. May you move through your week, trusting the unknown.
