because there are so many different aspects of our lives that

we are kind of strangers too

and we cultivate intimacy with ourselves

we also cultivated deep sense of trustworthiness and trust

and a good place to start is with ourselves

and with our body

can we actually come to trust

the natural wisdom of the body and

how beautifully the body supports our life

we very often take it totally for granted

until something untoward happens

but noticing that in general we can trust

that the breath will take care of itself locally

because if we had to worry about the breath

we would die a long time ago

so we trust that the breath comes in, we trust that the breath goes out

we trust that the ears can actually hear

we trust that the eyes actually see

we trust that our organs take care all of the metabolism and biology of being alive

there's a wisdom to the body that can remind us that

we ourselves are trustworthy

and if there are so many beautiful things and so complex

that are unfolding so beautifully in the body

well, why should the mind be any different

why should the heart be any different

so the more we can learn to bring trust to ourselves

the more we can actually learn to bring trust to our relationships

and to other people to nature

and to the various challenges that we face in life

so that we can actually reside on confidence

in our own ability to meet whatever comes towards us in ways

that can be effective

it's all based on trust in ourselves

and that's something that can be cultivated by practice

so every time we don't trust ourselves we can bring awareness to it and

and remind ourselves that maybe this is a good opportunity

to shift from you feeling like we not able to trust something to actually trusting it

when it's in ourselves

when it involves that the people it gets a little bit more complicated

because you don't want to trust naively

but other wisdom effective will help us to take care of that
