Trusting the Timing: Lessons From a Mountain Yoga Retreat

I recently spent a potent 4 days co-facilitating a Mountain Bliss Retreat Experience in Jasper, Canada. The grand finale was a helicopter ride to the top of the rockies.

We were slotted to go on Saturday, however, right when we were about to get into the chopper, the weather shifted – we wouldn’t have been able to see anything or land if we continued with our trip as planned.

Though disappointed, we decided to wait until the next morning. As we walked away our pilot shared her frustration. I shared step 7 of The Joy Method with her…we were being asked to TRUST.

Sunday brought clear skies and the opportunity to see so much further than we could’ve the day before.

In a society of doing, often we believe we need to control things to make them happen. Instead of setting goals and forcing our way through, we have the opportunity to make room for Joy along the way!

What if it could be better than you can even imagine? When manifesting dreams and desires I recommend adding “this or better” at the end knowing we don’t always know best.

Here’s what this experience taught me about TRUST:

Flexibility and Adaptability: Life is often beyond our control, and sometimes, plans need to change. Embracing flexibility can help reduce frustration and disappointment and help to feel better along the way.

Patience: It’s true when they say good things often come to those who wait! Patience often leads to amazing experiences in tthe right timing.

Trust in Timing: Often delays happen for a reason - some of which we may never know. Trusting the timing reduces stress and anxiety. Have faith that things will work out when they are meant to and feel better about the timing in your life.

Appreciation of the Journey: While the destination may be the ultimate goal, it’s the journey that really matters! When things are postponed, it provides an opportunity to build anticipation and raise your vibe with even more excitement.

In the discomfort there will always be an opportunity to trust that things are working out better than you can imagine.

What if your need for control is getting in the way of something better?

Trust in the divine timing of your life and allow the magic to unfold…
