Love and Trust

Return to Love

We have a choice always to live in love or in fear. Looking at the past as a way to create the future or looking at the future with fear, the need to control the unknown, the unseen, are ways we limit our experience because of fear.

Marianne Williamson says in her book, "A Return to Love," "Children are happy because they don't have a file in their minds called All the Things That Could Go Wrong .

It takes courage...to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives. Love is what we are born with."

This meditation is about clearing the programming that can bring us into fear and lack of trust. We are conditioned by past experiences or by fear of the future, that the unseen holds uncertainty and that uncertainty can bring on more limitations in our experience, when we can open up and trust that the world is safe and that we are protected, that more love can manifest more love and the future may create more opportunity and a way to expand our experience.

Marianne Williamson says, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Clearing the fear that binds us and opening up to love.

Namaste,

Alison
