Many people say trusting is not knowing. I disagree with that. Trusting to me is not the opposite of knowing. It’s actually a very specific kind of knowing, deep, unconditional, and anchored in aspects of our being that our cognitive mind can’t understand, but your body does, your soul does, and your intuitive whole being does.

The gift of trusting the unknown is the most scary thing I know and the most precious at the same time.

How many times did you think of making a change in your life and you didn't leave the old path because the new one wasn't visible yet?

Maybe you wanted to end a relationship and didn't know who would be with you after.

Maybe you wanted to quit a job but didn't see a new opportunity yet.

Maybe you wanted to change your whole lifestyle and didn't know which safety net would carry you once you leave the old one.

I believe we have all been there in one way or the other.

And my truth is,

If you don't destroy,

You won't create.

If you don't create space,

Nothing new can come to you.

If you don't dare to jump into unknown,

You won't be going through the growth that you need to be ready for the new.

You can't expect to be the old you and have a new life.

Growth can be so scary and I've never seen any major growth happening within me or others without that phase of vacuum,

That phase of unknown where the only thing one can do is trust.

In those times,

Humans might not be a true support as most of them would ask you,

But what are your next steps?

What are you going to do?

How is it going to work?

They need answers because they learned planning and knowing is what gives them safety.

Your intuitive self doesn't know about that kind of safety.

Your intuitive self is safe in the falling,

In the waterfall,

In the hurricane.

It doesn't fear movement,

It longs for it.

It knows that the only safety is in the constant trust that the earth,

The cosmos and your divine connection will always hold you safe.

Many people say trusting is not knowing.

I disagree with that.

Trusting to me is not the opposite of knowing.

It's actually a very specific kind of knowing,

Deep,

Unconditional and anchored in aspects of your being that our cognitive mind can't understand,

But your body does,

Your soul does,

Your intuitive whole being does.

Whenever I jumped in my life,

Whenever I knew intuitively that it's time to take the next step,

I had to destroy.

And I always had to destroy to really let go,

Close the door or make an uncompromising choice in order for the new to find shape.

All I had was trust and that has become my most unmistakable way of knowing.

If my soul told me to jump,

To let go,

I knew it was in alignment with my soul path,

So how could it fail?

My intuition has never been wrong,

Has never let me down.

If you allow the unknown,

If you allow trust to be,

Trust that there is a reason why you feel you need that change.

Don't ask for a specific picture to come your way.

Trust and let yourself be surprised with a creation that you weren't even able to think of,

An opportunity,

A solution that your cognitive mind wasn't even able to imagine.

Because it doesn't know about trust and it doesn't know about the infinite possibilities that lie in trust.

Infinite.

When last did you rely on your trust?

Where inside of you do you feel it vibrating,

That deep knowing that everything will fall into place in its own time?

I wish for you to find the trust you need to destroy and everything else will come.

I can't wait to see you in one of my live sessions here on Insight Timer to work with you on intuitive trusting and safety.

Have a beautiful rest of your day.
