The Mindful Attitude of Trust

These simple and wonderful words from the lovely Emma Strembickyj sum up perfectly the beautiful nature of the mindful attitude of Trust.

On a physical level I step into a place where I acknowledge the systems within my systems that keep me alive.
This is trust.
I move through my asana balancing my body in positions and shapes.
This is trust.
I breathe in and out, this giver of life supporting and sustaining energy that touches every single cell in my being.
This is trust.
My mind quietens down, I move into a state of connection and consciousness.
This is trust.
I surrender everything in each moment of my practice.
This is trust.
I bow my head to you as you bow yours to mine – our hearts connect.
This is trust.
Trust is the faith in all that is truly seen and unseen.
Trust is ultimately an action of love.

Alan Watts on Trust

The wise and calming words of Alan Watts.

Listening to Alan Watts is by far one of our favourite and most soothing past times. Put this short video on in the background as you make your morning coffee and set yourself up for a calm and peaceful day.

Listen to Alan speak on trust here.

A.A. Milne on Trust

“What are we doing Piglet?”
“I’m going to launch you to Mars on the rocket I built.”
“Oh, Ok.”

A sweet line from one of A.A. Milne’s iconic Winnie the Pooh. There are many lessons to be learned from Milne’s writing and we think this one sums up trust, especially the importance of trust between friends, beautifully. 

Brene Brown and Oprah on Trust

Brene Brown speaks to Oprah on the anatomy of trust. These two powerhouse women sit down to discuss Brene’s research around shame, vulnerability and the topic of trust.

Her message is simple; trust is built in small everyday moments, in showing up, in asking for help and in being vulnerable with others.
