Trust.
Not a concept we chase . . .
But a frequency we embody.
We often think of trust as something we give:
To people. To outcomes. To life itself.
But true trust - the kind that keeps us steady when the ground feels uncertain - isn’t about guarantees.
It’s about presence. Surrender. And the quiet confidence that we are held, even here.
From the Old Norse treysta - “to rely on, to make strong and safe.”
From Proto-Germanic traustam - “confidence, steadfastness.”
Trust asks us to soften before we see proof.
To move before we know.
To let go before we’re certain.
The Illusion of Control
We’re taught to trust what we can measure.
To believe in what is visible.
But life was never meant to be controlled - it was meant to be experienced.
And when things don’t go as planned (because they rarely do), we begin to doubt:
Ourselves. The path. The purpose.
Yet it is in these moments that trust becomes the bridge -
Between what is crumbling and what is becoming.
Between fear and faith.
Between the mind and the mystery.
Because you don’t need to see the whole path to take the next step.
You just need to trust that it's there.
Scent: The Portal to Trust
Scent is ancient.
It bypasses thought and speaks directly to the soul.
The ancients knew this.
Frankincense rising in sacred ceremony.
Cedar clearing space for something new.
Lavender softening the breath into calm.
Scent has always been more than fragrance -
It’s an anchor. A guide.
A silent companion that reminds you:
You are here. You are safe. This moment is enough.
Rituals of Trust with Scent
Anoint Yourself in Trust
Choose a scent that grounds you - vetiver, sandalwood, or warming amber.
Apply to pulse points, your heart, or the crown of your head.
Let it signal to your nervous system: I am held. I am ready.
Breathe in Stability
Diffuse a scent that whispers safety.
Patchouli. Myrrh. A floral that feels like home.
Let your environment reflect the energy you wish to carry.
Create a Scented Anchor
Each time you inhale a familiar note -
Let it be a cue to return.
To presence.
To trust.
Repeat silently: I am supported. I am steady. I trust myself.
Practicing the Frequency of Trust
Trust isn’t something we wait for.
It’s something we practice.
A way of being. A daily devotion.

Trust Your Timing
Nothing real is rushed.
If it’s not here yet, maybe it’s still rooting beneath the surface.
What if it’s already unfolding - just not in the way you expected? -
Trust Your Intuition
Your body always knows.
That subtle nudge? The gut feeling? It’s not random.
Let it guide you before your mind tries to make sense of it. -
Trust the Unseen
Not everything real can be measured.
Love. Healing. Growth.
The biggest transformations happen in the invisible realms. -
Trust Yourself
You’ve already walked through so much.
Every time you didn’t know how, you still found a way.
Let that be your evidence.
The Energy of Trust
We’ve been conditioned to believe that trust must be earned.
But the roots of this word tell a different story.
To trust is to rely on.
To make strong.
To become the safe space within.
Trust isn’t blind - it’s embodied wisdom.
It’s the choice to surrender the illusion of control and say: I move forward anyway.
And when you choose that - something shifts.
The body softens.
The breath deepens.
The next step appears.
You no longer wait.
You align.
You listen.
You trust.
You are not behind.
You are not lost.
You are being guided.
Always.
