Hey everyone, it's K-Sunga here. I just want to let you know that we've launched a brand

new call and advice podcast called Dear Headspace. Each week the headspace teachers, along

with some amazing new friends, are answering your questions about relationships, work,

life, mindfulness, and just about everything else. It's so different from anything we've

ever created and we're so excited for you to hear it. Dear Headspace comes out every

Tuesday on the Headspace app and anywhere that you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

Hey there, it's Dora. Welcome back to Radio Headspace and to Tuesday. One of my favorite

pastimes has been traveling to the beautiful island of St. Lucia and learning what it means

to live off the land. The family far my stay on is cared for by a rastafarian priest named

Honorable Priest K-Lash and this is a man that holds extensive ancient knowledge and wisdom.

One night when we gathered by the fire, he was sharing a teaching about trust and how

so many of us are afraid to trust. When we get on a plane or drive a car, there's a certain

level of trust that we never question. But when it comes to people, there's always a sense

of hesitation before we can fully trust someone. Why is that? And this made me think

about all the moments in my life that have led me not to trust others when I still have faith

and trust in so many other things that are quite uncertain. Mindfulness encourages us to cultivate

trust by trusting in our own ability to be present, to be open and to be curious. And we may

find with practice that all moments, all people are worthy of our trust until shown otherwise.

So where can we start with cultivating a trusting heart? Well, we can start with the breath.

Being able to be present with my breath has helped me to trust the present moment. So if it's

all right with you, let's take a moment to put this into practice. So get comfortable wherever you are.

Eyes can be open or closed and taking a few deep grounding breaths. Breathing in and breathing out.
