  • S3E2 Is it Trust or Faith?

    Summary

    In this episode of the A Waking Moment podcast, Dani Palacio delves into the concepts of faith and trust, exploring their differences and interconnections. She emphasizes that trust is earned through experience and reliability, while faith is an innate belief that does not require proof. Dani also discusses the importance of chakras, particularly the root and crown chakras, in fostering a sense of safety and connection to the universe. The conversation encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships with trust and faith, and to embrace the intuitive aspects of their being.

     

    Faith and trust are closely related, often interchangeable concepts.

     

    Trust: A firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of someone or something. (Verb – something you do)

    Faith: Complete trust or confidence in someone or something. (Noun – something you have)

     

    My experience, and where I want to invite you explore within yourself.

    Trust is something that is earned. You test the reliability of someone or something. It’s proven over time which then enables you to trust.

     

    Faith is something that is not tested. It’s something innate and intuitive within you. Your belief in and even surrender to it by a steadfastness that is unexplainable. Faith involves accepting the unseen, mysterious and even the unexplainable.

     

    Quotes:

    "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the staircase." — Martin Luther King, Jr.

    "Tie your camel, and trust in Allah." — Prophet Muhammad

     

    Energy Centers – Chakras that support moving from trust to faith.

    Root Chakra – Root, Home, Safety, Grounded, Feelings of Belonging

     

    Crown Chakra – Connection to the Divine. A place where spiritual/energetics become awakened.

     

    Third Eye Chakra – intuition, inner wisdom with deep spiritual insight.

    • If you could sit at a table across from the version of yourself from 2017, what would you tell them? 
    • Look at the 'scars' or hard moments from the last nine years. How have they alchemized into wisdom? Who have you become because of what you went through?

    On Releasing "Smallness" & Voice

    • Around which people, do you instinctively lower your voice or dim your light? Why does their comfort matter more than your expression?"
    • If you were guaranteed that you wouldn't be rejected, what truth would you speak right now? What passion would you finally pursue?
    • Where are you leaking energy by pretending to be someone you aren't?

    On Cord Cutting & Forgiveness

    • Who (or what version of yourself) do you need to forgive—not because they deserve it, but because you deserve to be free?
    • When you think of a specific person or situation that drains you, where do you feel it in your body? That is where the cord is. Are you ready to cut it?
