Trusted Path

Trusted Path - Remaining in Trust Throughout the Journey

By Rhiannon Barkemeijer de Wit

Time and time again I rediscover how my path in life can truly be trusted, realizing how guided and protected we each are throughout every step of our life journey.

Time and time again I am presented with opportunities to realize that even when situations do not unfold as I had originally hoped, planned or intended, that nevertheless the situation does indeed unfold for the Best, for My Highest Good and does unfold Better than what was my original vision.

Sometimes our path seems absolutely paved in perfection, everything is unfolding smoothly, revealing golden blessings with every step. Doors fly open when we arrive, opportunities sprout like roses and the Universe seems to be singing YES, YES, YES! We feel like we have climbed our last hill, overcome the final obstacle and have arrived in the Promised Land at last. We feel safe, we feel happy, we feel confident and we Trust.

Other times our road may be riddled with obstacles, detours and perhaps even roadblocks. Doors are closing providing no further passage or perhaps we are invited in, only to discover that this particular pathway is not actually suitable for our continued progress. Traversing the terrain is difficult and challenging, and we may feel absolutely tested. We may question our guidance, doubt the direction we had taken and we may feel doomed to a dead-end.

Then there are also the times when our pathway may become uneventful, it is neither golden nor is it hazardous. Nothing seems to be happening, no growth, no opportunities, no hurtles or obstacles, simply a strip of deserted road. We may wonder if we have accidentally wandered onto the wrong path. Did we take a wrong turn some where along the way? We may feel lost, alone and disconnected.

The truth is, we are blessed, protected and guided throughout the journey, our path is always paved in Divine Perfection. Despite the difficulty or the ease in which we are experiencing our life journey we are asked to trust that all is ultimately unfolding for our highest good.

Considering the Conditions of the Path

* When we are guided to explore a new/different avenue only to find that the path is not friendly and/or is not conducive for our continued progress consider that this is a gift of experience. We no longer need to wonder what lies down that road, now we know! These experiences enable us to keep our focus from being fragmented and also allow us to “test the waters” without completely committing ourselves.

* When the road is riddled with roadblocks and all the energy is bucking and blocking further passage, we are cautioned to resist the temptation to force a situation in a direction that we desire. Force is the opposite of Trust. Take a break, step away from the situation to gain clear and fresh perspective. Affirm that the Universe does desire you to succeed and does desire you to be happy. Consider that the Divine Source may have insight into the situation that you have yet to see and is perhaps guiding you away from an unfavorable outcome. When we remain in Trust, it will become clear whether the situation is truly calling for tenacity and perseverance or if it is time to change direction.

* When the path has turned into a deserted highway, when nothing seems to be happening rather than succumbing to fear, consider this a time for rest and reflection. Recognizing this space as a gift enables us to remain in Trust, allowing us to truly enjoy and take advantage of the rest stop that is being provided. Remaining in Trust will enable the ability to emerge from the stillness ready to roll when the cycle once again shifts.

* Honoring Endings – Some endings we grieve; others we may rejoice that the situation has finally found conclusion and then there are some endings that may leave us simply confounded and confused. When a situation has served its purpose, the ending will present itself and the door will close. As cliché as it may sound, it remains true all the same that whenever a door closes a new opening is always presented. When an ending has occurred, whether it is initially met with grief, rejoicing or confusion, by honoring the end cycle, we will be able to perceive the gifts being presented and will be open and receptive to the new beginnings that the ending is providing.

* When the path is paved in perfection - Smile inwardly, be grateful and know with all certainty that you absolutely deserve these blessings. Ride the golden waves of opportunities and honor the connections and bridges that support this part of the path. Enjoy!

When we are able to remain in a space of trust we are in a space that is attuned to our Divine Guidance. We are able to clearly discern the conditions and alter our course if needed; we are able to recognize the gifts being presented in every situation and are able to be at peace despite the perceived appearance of external conditions.

Here are some tips for remaining in trust throughout the journey:

* Ask the Angels, Ascended Masters, Goddesses, Guardians and/or Guides to assist in elevating your thoughts and awareness to a space of Trust.

* Decide to recognize the gift in every experience. Set the intention to recognize the positive platforms and golden opportunities being presented within all experiences and situations.

* Make conscious choice/effort to see and experience the world as safe, supportive, beautiful, abundant, peaceful, joyful, and filled with love, magic and miracles.

* Return to the Awareness of Innocence – the energy of Innocence vibrates very high and is very pure, and will provide a sure platform to reside in Trust. Innocence is aligned with Simplicity - Recognize and Rejoice within the Simple Pleasures of Life.

* Reflect upon situations that took twists and turns, culminating to a conclusion different from what you had originally hoped/planned, yet did indeed turn out better than expected.

* Spend time in some form of Creative Expression – when we are expressing ourselves creatively we are an open channel to the Divine, our awareness is One with our Divine Enlightened Self and we are aligned with our True and Natural State of Trust.

* Align your words and your thoughts with that which is positive, affirmative, and with that which reflects Trust and reflects what you desire to experience.

* Be conscious and selective of that which you allow yourself to be exposed to and/or to participate in. Choosing to experience conversations, relationships, environments, media, entertainment, etc. that are supportive of remaining in a State of Trust.

* If worry, fear based beliefs etc. surface, honor the energy without unduly entertaining it. Recognizing this energy is surfacing to provide insight as to where to direct healing focus.

* Watch a Funny Movie, Create Opportunities for Laughter and Lightheartedness – Laughter raises the vibration and helps us to not take life too seriously. Laughter always provides a platform to transcend fear, allowing realignment with Trust.

* Spend time in Nature – Go to the Beach, visit the local park or simply step outside and take some cleansing breaths of fresh air. Walk around the block and consciously connect with the trees, the flowers, the birds, the sky, and the air. Nature is naturally detoxifying, assisting in the releasing of fears, cleansing our perceptions, allowing the realignment with our true state of Being. Nature provides a beautiful example of Trust, always honoring the process, honoring the cycles and remaining in a perfect state of Being. Nature also provides a platform to clearly receive Divine Guidance and Divine Inspiration, when out in nature we tend to be clear, more open and more receptive.

* Forgive yourself when you forget and fear is in the forefront, and remember to always be loving, kind and gentle with yourself.

Trust is perhaps an innate aspect of our Truth that is born with innocence, tested with experience and matures into a deep understanding, an inner knowing gained through the ultimate remembrance of our Oneness to the Divine Source.

Remaining in Trust may be the goal, yet the process and the practice IS the Journey.

Honor your journey, honor your process and celebrate your willingness to embark upon this adventure called Life. Celebrate the experience in its totality for that is the purpose, the reason, the gift of our Being -–here and now.
