“Absolute Trust”

Fear tends to swirl around us on a daily basis. Fear of this, fear of that. All emotions break down into love or fear; it’s really that simple. Taking time to examine our Inner most feelings allows discernment, recognition of the underlying truths. It’s from that point of stillness, when love is the focal point, that trust ~ “absolute trust” ~ in the continuing unfolding story of our lives, resides.

We don’t always like the chapters in our story. However, it’s at the most challenging of moments we have the greatest space for growth, expansion ~ our deepest awareness. It’s here, this moment, we can access “absolute trust.” I will share a perfect example.

This past month has been over-the-top. I’ve dealt with several of the major life stresses all in one week. One was my indoor cat, Tao escaping outside in the midst of moving. By the evening of the first night I knew something was terribly wrong. He’s been out before, however he usually returns shortly after I call him. He knows the rules. Very un-cat like really. I called in the help of “Find Toto,” a great on-line source that blankets neighborhoods with informative phone calls. I put up posters on the mail boxes. I went out canvassing the neighborhood calling his name. Nothing. No-thing. No sound of his bell, no meows. I called an animal communicator friend, Karen Anderson, to assist my search. With the stress factor, I couldn’t “hear” or “see,” in other words ~ fear. With her zoning in on location, I zeroed in with my time, my ears, my voice and my senses.

I quieted. I turned over my unease, my fear. I centered in on Tao, sending him love and a lighted path home. I moved into my core, surrounding myself with my Soul Ray. I went into “absolute trust” knowing the Universe provides, is on our side, and that no matter what, literally, no matter the outcome….everything was and is perfect the way it is. I relaxed. I went home knowing I wouldn’t find him that moment. The next day I felt easier, happier and was completely in the flow. After clients, on my way home ~ this now being the sixth day since he’d disappeared ~ I received the message I’d see him “today.” I was ready to put my boots on and traverse the woods behind the house when my mom guided me to the bedroom to visit my husband lying in bed. There next to him was Tao cuddled sweetly around his legs.

Tao means “The Way.” By naming him after my life’s philosophy, I feel it enabled him to find his way home.

I knew when I stepped into “absolute trust” all was and always will be, perfect in the world no matter how I see it. There is always a higher perspective, a grand agenda playing out before my eyes. Decisions and choices created long ago impact my path, (our paths, ) in the here and now. I just need to absolutely trust everything is a mirror, a teacher, a gift.
