Namaste everybody.
Welcome to In The Flow with Laurie Albert.
So today we are talking about trusting.
Trusting spirit,
Trusting people,
Trusting things.
You know honestly trusting anything is a hard thing to achieve you know for sure.
I mean it takes practice,
It takes commitment,
Trusting anything.
Situations,
Physical items,
People,
And don't even get me started on the news.
Right?
But that's a conversation for a whole other day right?
And it's just interesting because whenever I think about trusting I think back to when I got my first years ago cell phone and I just didn't trust it at all.
I it said oh put your contacts and I'm like my contacts,
My calendar,
I didn't trust it but over the years I've come to trust it.
Right?
We trust after a period of time,
After the idea of trial and error right?
Time,
Time helps us to trust.
Trusting people is a little bit more intensive if that's the right word.
You know it takes time again to trust people and I don't just mean trusting them with your life because I don't trust them with my life.
You know for me it feels like that I could trust people with my life a little bit easier than I trust them in my life.
And that distinction is really interesting right?
Because if you trust someone with your life that means that you know I feel like that instinctive lean we trust people with our lives because I think that we like I say instinctively would help somebody if you're in dire straits you know and if you are in real serious trouble people are gonna pull you out of that car after a car accident that's what I choose to believe right?
People are gonna do that right?
But trusting them in my life a whole different story right?
It takes time.
And then there are the outside situations like the causes do I am I am I do I trust that I am fighting for the correct cause you know and that's again whole other big conversation.
We have to trust trust trust trust the bottom line is to all of this it takes time and we have to continue to work on it we have to continue working on trusting stuff right?
Trusting things,
Trusting people,
Trusting situations and guess what what about spirit in this equation?
One of my favorite authors Paulo Coelho he wrote the Alchemist which is my all-time favorite book I mean there's just to me oh man there's that that book just does something to me I try to read it once a year it's one of those you know like the Jane Austen novels you try to read it once a year right?
For me anyway um he said trust your vibes because energy does not lie interesting quote right?
So I live my life trusting spirit I do and it's taken me many many years and it's it it was difficult to start out that way seriously it was it was difficult to start out as a medium you have to trust spirit and what you're getting right?
Because if you don't trust spirit as a medium what else do you have there's a trust that comes along with that right?
So um and then after well I should say after but during that time when I was learning how to trust spirit all those years ago I then started trusting spirit not just for getting messages and all that stuff but started trusting spirit in the rest of my life the rest of my life like my relationships and decisions so and I've said this before that people will come to me and say oh can I get a reading and I'll be like hmm something's tweaking me let me let me go meditate on that right?
Because that's what I do I have to meditate on things sometimes if I get a little bit of a I'm not sure about that meditate on it that's what I do I trust I trust before I do readings and this this gathering every morning I give it up to spirit and I trust that whatever comes out of my mouth is supposed to come out of my mouth because things come out of my mouth that are bizarre sometimes right you know I'm one of those people that I'll just say stuff right and you know sometimes when I talk like that whenever I sometimes whenever I'm trusting spirit and I'll say things it's not enough it's not what I the road that I really want to go down you know just recently I had I felt like I wanted to speak my truth to somebody somebody has been kind of important in my life and I knew it was gonna cause waves I was told to do it so I listened and trusted and guess what it worked out so great well so far it worked out great like I feel free because I trusted right so now what we're gonna do today is we are going to meditate imagine that okay let's get ourselves comfortable try to block out any sort of outside forces when you feel comfortable close your eyes we want to get very comfortable today let's do that again breathe in take a deep deep breath in slow like instant relaxation right so today meditation is about trusting trusting the process trusting ourselves trusting spirit and what I'd like for you to do is to place your attention on your solar plexus which is the chakra that is just above your belly button it's where we feel our gut instinct so place your attention in that area just above your belly button and I want you to imagine a yellow ball like the Sun like a small Sun in your solar plexus imagine this yellow ball turning and turning spinning that's what I would like for us to place our attention on today doing our stillness keep our attention on the yellow ball energy spinning in our solar plexus spinning ball of trust and instinct trusting ourselves trust in the process of our lives so we're going to stay quiet here as we focus on the yellow ball of trust I will keep the time let's begin let's start bringing our awareness back to our bodies back to the chair that we're sitting in in the room in our house now let's take a nice deep breath in open your eyes whenever you feel comfortable and remember today to take this sort of superpower with you your instinct your trust take it with you today everywhere you go because we have to trust ourselves that's the ultimate trust is trusting ourselves so take this with you wherever you go today and always know that we will be doing this again so thank you for joining today I really appreciate every single one of you for joining creating this community of meditation and spirit-filled
