So often I share with people that faith and fear both require us to believe in something that we cannot see and essentially it is our choice whether or not we choose to believe, or trust, in the lower-level energies or the higher ones.
So often we WANT to choose faith, yet still fight with the need to "control" things, to know what happens "next", how things are going to turn out and to run all the "what if scenarios" through our mind. This friends, is NOT trusting the process.
If you find yourself saying "if this" or "when this" happens, again this is inadvertently affirming to God/Source/Spirit/Universe that the energy we are currently aligning with is NOT fully trusting the process.
You hear us say all the time, the Universe gives you what you ARE, not what you WANT. Simply put, whatever energy you are aligning with through thoughts, words, actions, etc...is how you are communicating with the Universe what you "are".
To truly "trust the process" at its core, is to FULLY surrender to the unknown or the "not knowing" how exactly is all turns out. It's rooted in the "knowing" that's what meant for you will NEVER pass you by and innerstanding that if something isn't present in your life currently it's because it doesn't "match" or align with the current frequency you are vibrating at. I know this can be challenging to accept when "shake ups" take place in relationships, friendships, and family dynamics. Sometimes it's a slow "fade away" that we can feel coming and other times it happens in the blink of an eye and offers no real sense of closure in that moment. When this happens, the distance in that frequency gap gets too large and it's at the point relationships tend to go through a massive restructuring. It's in these moments we get a choice..."evolve or repeat", "faith or fear", "trust or control". Energetically speaking, that means we choose to maintain and continue to elevate our frequency or "drop back down" into the familiar energy that we have known and enter another "cycle" or lesson to gain experience from offering us the opportunity to choose differently.
When it comes to the concept of manifesting things in our lives, I often hear people say things like "I'm just waiting for my abundance" or "I'm just waiting for my person/union". Or even simply things like "It will be better when".
The act of "waiting" is to energetically tell the Universe that you are lacking in some way or that something is "missing". To create what we want requires us to remove the energy of doubt completely and replace it with patience, trust, faith, and the "knowing" that we already sit in the energy and alignment that allows what we desire to materialize and take form in our physical reality. To fully trust is to move through your life in a way that what you want has already happened, even if your physical eyes have yet to see it
To trust the process can be challenging when you're just starting to consciously shift out of fear and into faith, into the "knowing". This requires grace and patience with yourself and realizing that every single choice you make, no matter how "big" or "small", is you communicating with the Universe. Like Child of Balance often says, the Universe doesn't communicate in English, it communicates in energy. Choose faith, choose to trust the fucking process FULLY, unwaveringly and step into the power of "knowing" from a soul perspective.
