Trust that it will all work out

THIS week Lesley asks:

“My life feels like one drama after another. Any advice?”

The trust card is from the Osho Zen Tarot deck. It’s about trusting that all will work out in the end.

In nearly every oracle or angel card deck, there is the Trust card. And that is the card that has been drawn today from the OSHO Zen Tarot cards. Its commonality indicates the importance of this subject.

So if trust is a word that gets thrown around a lot when it comes to seeking guidance, what does it actually mean?

When you are in the midst of chaos or even a circumstance that you would prefer not to be having, how do you have trust that all will be ok?

The best place to start is by reflecting on times in the past where you have been faced with a challenge and to see with hindsight how it unfolded. If you can say, “I lived to see another day” that is enough. What seemed like a major drama and disturbance at the time became manageable. Sometimes it is through these incidences that we undergo the most learning and growth.

In a blog I wrote about attitude, I suggested that to prevent feeling so out of control in our lives is to “de-mountainise our molehills” – it’s about perspective. It can seem difficult at the time, but with practice it gets easier to deal with things as they arise in a more calm and positive manner without getting too ahead of ourselves. Don’t play the ‘what if’ game. Sometimes we scare ourselves silly with all the possibilities that often don’t eventuate.

When it comes to managing life’s curve balls and inciting trust, as clichéd as it sounds, some deep breaths can do wonders. Science shows that regulating our breathing in times of stress enables a relaxation response to help stop the biological changes that occur when we enter “fight or flight” mode. Oxygen to the brain equals clarity. Then you can work through situations one step, one breath at a time.

Part of today’s message for you is to trust your own intuition without question, hesitation or doubt. It’s when we second-guess ourselves that all seems to unravel. Trust is about knowing that some way, somehow, everything will work out in the end.
