WEEK #1: BASIC TRUST – PART 1

Trust is the invisible foundation for our relationship to our selves, each other and existence itself. The Basic Trust dimension of is the most fundamental and powerful and recovering it will shift your entire experience of life and relating.

“If basic trust informs your experience, your psyche is relaxed. Your soul is at peace with itself and with your situation, resting in the unquestioned confidence that the universe provides, that you have, and will receive, what you really need, and that things are workable.

Without it, we live our lives defensively, in conflict with others and with ourselves, becoming self-centered and egoistic. To find our basic trust is to reconnect with our natural state that we have become separated from.

When you understand this, it becomes obvious why it is so difficult to relax and let go, and why it is so important regain our basic trust.” -A. H. Almaas
