There is natural concern about how to move with what is happening and it illuminates a deeper inquiry into our journey of shifting fear to trust.
I have found myself in the last days with several moments of should I stay or should I go. And each time I found my way to choose “go” with some interesting results. One of these is a deeper awareness of how my body reacts with fear and responds with trust.
As I catch it and remember to bring attention back to the body – listening and connecting to what is happening physically in my body. I notice the restriction of energy flow – and register where it is tight and tense. As I am able to do this it starts to shift, the body naturally begins to open again.
As the body opens – new possibilities emerge. In this moment the fear is shifting to trust and I feel I can find my way, that I am guided in my choices. As I feel this an upward spiral initiates and I notice that my energy is flowing with a restored a sense of knowing each step, each choice will be guided and clear if I stay connected in my body.
I can feel it now as I write these words. My face relaxing, my feet on the floor and a softness in my belly. There is a spaciousness in my lower back. It feels good. Trust feels good.
This dance between fear and trust – closing and opening is an important teacher. I invite all of us to keep practicing using our body to keep finding our way to trust so that we can receive the guidance for our choices.
