TRUST FALL

#groupconversations #realplay  #deepwork#nervoussystemregulation #nervoussystemhealing #overwhelmed #exhausted #restless

Another day, another chance for growth, right? Sometimes we wake up and think we need something grand to look forward to, something that will ignite a spark within us. But can we just take a moment and be grateful for the fact that we woke up today? You’re here. That’s a reason to be grateful.


Today, I want to talk to you about a trust fall. When we trust that everything is happening for our greater good, we have to put our faith into action. We have to trust that, if something falls away — whether it’s a relationship, an opportunity, or something else — it’s part of the divine unfolding of our path. You’re not losing anything, you’re making space for something better.


Trust and Willingness

Willingness is key here. Willingness doesn’t mean you have all the answers, it doesn’t mean you know what’s next — it’s about choosing to be open to what comes your way. Decisiveness, however, means choosing to trust and keep moving forward, regardless of the outcome.


And yes, this involves risk. It involves jumping into the unknown, like a trust fall into the arms of the universe, or your higher self. You can’t know what’s on the other side, but you can trust that it’s part of your personal evolution.


Sometimes you’re going to feel discomfort when things are falling away. It’s scary. I know. I’ve been there. When support systems are removed, it feels like free-falling. But that’s when the magic happens. That’s when your growth is most profound. When you release your hold on what no longer serves you, you create space for new possibilities.


The Countdown and the Launch

It’s like a rocket launch — when NASA sends a rocket into space, the countdown starts, and those supports that held the rocket up fall away. Only then does the rocket lift off. That’s what it feels like when we let go of things that are no longer aligned with us. We can’t launch into our next phase if we’re still holding on to old, outgrown things.


So, what’s falling away for you right now? Are you resisting it, or are you ready to let go? Are you willing to trust that, by letting go, you’ll make space for your next chapter?


Your Unfamiliar Launch

You may not feel ready for the launch. You may not know how to use all the levers and buttons once you’ve launched. That’s okay. We don’t always have the answers at first, and that’s how life works. Sometimes we find ourselves in new situations and unfamiliar spaces, and we have to fumble through them for a bit. But trusting the process means knowing you’re going exactly where you need to go, even if it’s uncomfortable.


Think about a time when you felt confident and unshakable — but then, suddenly, something changed. Support systems fell away, and you were left floundering, trying to figure things out. I’ve been there, too. That’s the launch. It’s disorienting, but it’s the beginning of your growth.


Sometimes, it feels like everything is falling apart— and then it starts to come together in ways you could never have imagined. When I was going through my own challenges, I felt like I was in free fall. But that’s when I found my courage, my resilience, and the trust to keep going.


Be Open to What You Don’t Know

This is a tough one, but it's powerful. Be open to receiving what you don’t know how to do. A trust fall isn’t about knowing every step ahead of time. It’s about the willingness to fall, trusting that, even if it doesn’t feel comfortable, you’ll figure it out along the way. Trust that the universe has your back, even when you can’t see the full picture.


The Power of Trusting Your Path

It’s not about being fearless. It’s about trusting the path that’s unfolding even when it’s unclear. The thing is, you are going to be okay. You’ll find your balance. You’ll make mistakes, but those mistakes are just stepping stones toward growth.


Think about your journey so far. I’m sure there have been times when you’ve questioned your choices or felt unsure. But here you are. You’re still moving forward. That’s a sign that you’re on the right track — even when you don’t feel ready.


The Beauty of Self-Discovery

I’ve had moments when I’ve looked at my life and thought, “Am I doing this right? Is this what I’m supposed to be doing?” Those moments of doubt are part of your growth. They’re part of the process of discovering who you truly are. When you stop resisting the flow, the answers will come.


You’re evolving, constantly. And when you look back, you’ll see how far you’ve come. You’re not the same person you were yesterday, and that’s a good thing. Every day is an opportunity to be a better version of yourself. Trust that each step you take brings you closer to your true self.


Trust the Timing

Here’s the thing: You are exactly where you need to be right now. Even if things don’t make sense, even if it feels like you’re standing still, know that everything is falling into place at the perfect time. The universe doesn’t make mistakes. Everything is working out for you.


You’re on the right path, even when it’s hard. Trust that things are unfolding exactly as they should. Sometimes, all it takes is a leap of faith, a trust fall.


Final Thoughts: Embrace the Trust Fall

So, what is calling you forward? What’s that little voice inside your heart telling you? It’s time to listen and trust. Embrace the uncertainty and step forward into what’s next. Let the old support systems fall away — they’ve done their job. It’s time for you to fly.


You are not meant to do this alone. You have all the support you need from the universe, from God, and from your own inner wisdom.


Trust yourself. Trust the process. And trust that everything is unfolding for you. Take the leap.

You are creative at the heart of who you are. You would rather be in charge of creating your life and deciding the who, what, and when of your daily schedule. When you discover your true self, you won’t be able to plow through every day like a drone, exhausting yourself with people pleasing or trying to meet unrealistic expectations in hopes of being valued and appreciated. Your inner genius is your spirit. She is love and light. She has so much to say, share, and experience. It would be a crying shame to keep her stuffed away, never to contribute her gifts and talents to the world, wouldn’t it? Your inner genius is very wise and wholly intelligent. If you take time every day to ask her questions to which you seek answers, she might surprise you with the creative ways she nudges you to be the unrestrained genius you have wanted to give you the answers to the test.

If you listen to your body, which is talking to you all the time, you will have a much better handle on your real needs and what are just coping strategies. You may feel like there is a void you can’t fill. Stop, breathe in three sharp breaths, hold for three seconds, and exhale slowly—repeat three times. When you tune in to your actual needs to get more sleep, start a project you’ve been putting off, or engage in a creative outlet and take action, you will avoid the frustration that comes with the myriad of ways we can find to procrastinate and become out of alignment with our true selves. With practice, it will become clear how to end cycles of procrastination that breed self-doubt and allow yourself to feel fulfilled, attuned, and complete.

A balanced and regulated nervous system supports not only your inner child, who needs you to stay with her when she feels insecure and afraid of the “situation” you might be going through, but it will exponentially change your outer world as you walk with confidence and assurance that who you are, as you are is the only person you can be. The real you is when you are simultaneously connected to your soul, your inner child, your intuitive guidance, and your body. Not a single part of you is being denied, ignored, or abandoned. Your body holds all of the past memories, good or bad, through the conditioning of the nervous system, and it just so happens that your spirit also lives in your body.

Your job has never been to do hard things. Your job is to find the way to doing challenging things more easily. Another way to say that is to let go of the resistance you added to the experience and let yourself find the more simple path. Imagine this: You're on a rowing boat, facing upstream, fighting against the current, thinking, “If I just paddle harder, I’ll get somewhere!” But there’s one caviat; all rivers flow downstream. Upstream padding is not what is needed most. Setting the paddle down and letting the current take you is easier. But, if it was that easy, everyone would be doing it. Haha

The Power of three is everywhere in our lives. It starts with God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Also, Christ rose on the 3rd day. Why 3? The number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness, and perfection. We spend most of our lives trying to connect the Body, Mind, and Spirit to feel whole. Our personal patterns of becoming the highest versions of ourselves involve Growth, Expansion, and the Journey that eventually becomes the story and legacy we leave behind. It is also the number indicating time – past, present, future, birth, life, and death. If you look at the patterns of 3 in your life, you may discover the lessons you were being called to learn so you could live more fully in Harmony, Wisdom, and Understanding. You might enjoy a little life review session looking for patterns in 3s that either held a disintegrating pattern for you or an enlightened pattern that helped you up out of dark places.
