Learning To Trust The Universe

Maybe you have heard someone say you need to trust in the Universe. However, this is not always easy and learning to trust really is an art and a practice, particularly if you are going through a somewhat challenging time. Nevertheless, if you really work on your ability to do this, the results can be so rewarding. It can really benefit you to put your faith in the Universe, and here is how you do it

Surrender To The Flow

Believe in the power of Universal Love. Yes, the Universe really is unconditionally loving and indeed does have your back. Fully taking this on board, will help you to gently surrender to the Universal flow.

Adopt a daily mantra to affirm to yourself, such as, “The Universe totally supports and loves me unconditionally.” By doing so, you will be working with the Universe, to help you attract all that what you need in order to enjoy a full and abundant life, and also place yourself in a position where you can help others do the same.

The Universe should not be seen, however, as a mechanical dispensing system that dishes out a person’s wants and needs to satisfy their every whim. However, it is perfectly okay to work with the Universe to improve your life, as well as help other people do the same.

Embrace Your Power

Remind yourself that the Universe is also within you. It is a relatively common misconception that the Universe is some external force that, when worked with correctly, will magically transform your life from somewhere out there, or ‘beyond the stars.’ However, the truth is that Universal power actually flows within you!

Now, if you were to see yourself as being weak, disempowered and dependent, you cannot be expecting the Universe to save you when, in fact, you can do a lot more to save yourself! In simple terms, putting your faith in the Universe to empower you is far, far better than expecting it to ‘rescue’ you by any means.

Face Your Fears

Learning how to directly face your fears and look at whatever limiting beliefs you may have, is of utmost importance. It will help you to meet your worries head-on, and after that, release them. If your desire to change your life is stronger than your need to keep things as they are, i.e. if you are really able to let go of what is holding you back, amazing changes can occur in your life.

Try Something Different

Sadly, there are many people who are too afraid of trying something new, for fear of failing in their endeavors. Becoming so fearful of stepping out into the unknown, can really hinder one’s progress in life. But by mustering the strength and courage to do something you have never attempted before, you may actually find the Universe guiding you to a much more rewarding life path – much better than what you might have ever imagined.

Learn To Let Go

So what if you have something on your mind that you find increasingly difficult to let go of? If so, you would not be by yourself. However, if you were to drop a heavy physical item, such as a large rock, to the ground, while focusing on whatever negative emotion it is you feel the need to let go of, it could really help you to do just that!

Look in your garden for a heavy rock or stone, release it into the earth, and as you do so, affirm to yourself that you are in the process of releasing whatever concern it is that you are harboring. Viola! You will feel much lighter and more in control of your situation.

Take Better Care

Mastering the art of trusting the Universe can sometimes trigger within you painful past experiences that you may be currently holding onto. However, by actually acknowledging those feelings whenever they do arise, you will feel a sense of relief.

It is also absolutely imperative that while this process is happening, you self-nurture to the maximum. Therefore, do make sure that you allow yourself time to relax every day, as a little self-love and self-care can go a long way.

Know The Signs

We all need some confirmation that we are going in the right direction in life. Request the Universe to give you signs that your reality is manifesting as it should. The Universe will do this in different ways, such as a favorite song playing on the radio, or an unexpected opportunity, or some incredible positive ‘coincidences’ and synchronicities.

Celebrate With Gratitude

Sometimes, particularly if you are in a challenging situation, it can be hard to focus on the positive. Nevertheless, putting your faith in the Universe, and focusing on all the good it already has offered you, helps keep your energy frequency healthy and ensures that it continues to attract everything you need. Therefore, please do celebrate every goal you hit and any achievement you make, irrespective of how small it may be.

Get Some Crystals

Crystals can be a great aid whenever you feel the need for additional metaphysical support. Keep a piece of malachite, pyrite or blue lace agate in your purse or pocket, as these are all good for boosting strength and giving one a sense of courage.

Stay Empowered

Many of us, myself included, have fantasized about winning the lottery or being the lucky recipient of some financial windfall. But what would we actually do if such a large amount of cash were to suddenly come our way? Will it empower you, or send your life into a tail-spin? Will it take away your need, and therefore your confidence, to provide for yourself in life? In simple terms, would it truly serve you and others?

Not getting what you want can sometimes be a gift, as it can prime you to go out and get it for yourself. As the saying goes, “God helps those who help themselves.” Now, how empowering is that!
