I love the way that phrase feels. I love noticing how something feels and following that, rather than working hard to find “clever” words, actions, ways of doing. Relax into trust. Ahhhh the sensation of that in my body…
When I say the word relax, I feel myself let go a little bit. Almost like the word reminds me, “oh yeah. I was a little uptight, and I can actually sit back a bit. I can take a breath. I can soften the tension in my shoulders and back. I can shift into a more comfortable position. Oh yeah. I’ve come back to myself.” All that kinds of gently rolls through me when I hear the word relax, remind myself to relax.
This morning, the calmness of relaxing is in a soft energy around me. Peaceful. Nothing to do. Nothing that needs to get done. And I notice a curiosity about the feeling of relaxation. There is even a little voice, a little message that is floating around me that whispers, “Watch the relaxation, and see what it does.” It’s suggesting that I follow that feeling, be curious about it, and let the relaxed feeling flow how it wants to in my life. It’s telling me that there is a freedom, a potential that is opening up around this feeling of relaxation. Watch the relaxation and see what it does. Like being carried on a wise, wide river of wellbeing. Then watching IT find the powerful, easy paths in my life. My days. My precious, day-to-day, mundane, awe-invoking moments of aliveness. Relaxing into the trust of all that……..
As I was going through my emails to read/delete, I noticed that I had not opened this particular blog on “relaxing into trust.” What perfect timing! I could feel my shoulders go down and as I took a deep breath, I knew that all is well….even as I had just locked my keys in the car, missed my lap swim reservation, and forgot to bring my special snack with me today. It’s a great time to receive these gentle reminders to slow down, take a deep breath and appreciate all the resources I have — especially You, Christina B.!
