I would like to share with you a little life story of mine.<br><br>I grew up in a rather strict household. Leaving Germany in my late teens I thought I left quite a bit of it behind me. Till recently when I discovered that the german saying &#8220;trust is good, but control is better&#8221; was pretty much ingrained in me. <br><br>I have been struggling with my young rescued dog for quite some time, trying to getting her under control especially when it comes to our walks. Because of her being a hunter, I haven&#8217;t been able to let her of the leash ever. I managed to teach her to not pull that much <br>anymore while on the leash and lately I have been doing exercises with her to develop a stronger bond between us. <br>I didn&#8217;t trust her in almost all areas &#8211; other dogs, people, walking on the leash; it was exhausting and made me feel sad, helpless, stuck and at moments having anxiety.<br><br>Two days ago on my walk with her I was thinking, I want her to trust me, so I need to start to trust her as well.<br>And just like you probably wouldn&#8217;t let your kids take your car on a vacation trip right after receiving their license, I decided to let her off the leash only for a short period in an area with the least amount of distraction.  She stayed close by and came back to me at times to get a treat. I hardly can put it into words what I felt &#8211; such a heartwarming and rewarding experience! <br>To see a glimpse of what our &#8220;companionship&#8221; could be like brought such joy and hope back to me. Today she was more than half of the walk without the leash, I played the edge as well and once won, once lost, but still in the end I had her back by my side. I know that there will be times where I will be there waiting or looking for her, but something inside me shifted after feeling a spark of freedom for the both of us.<br><br>Now I am looking at trust like a muscle that needs to be trained. There will be moments where you see you were not strong enough to do a certain thing yet, but with great awareness, joy, patience and a light heart you will built a strong lasting muscle.<br>I think it is time to transfer this experience to other areas in my life.<br>Like they say, you always get the dog\/animal you need to grow in your life. Her first lessons were about setting boundaries and becoming a stronger person and she was not holding back to teach me already the next lesson about trust and control \ud83d\ude42  <br><br>~ ~ ~ ~ <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0f6924;font-size:26px\">Of course we are all different. Are you more trusting or controlling? Are you overly trusting or controlling? Or are you lacking trust or control? I believe to find a balance in all of this takes a lot of <br>conscious awareness and the willingness to inquire within.<br><br>How does that affect our yoga practice on the mat?<br>We control our movements to our best of knowledge, but then there is the time to trust the body and body memory, enjoying the ride. <br>Sensing, feeling, becoming aware will lead our practice from control to trust to freedom inside and out.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#0b591d;color:#eba66b;font-size:28px\">Monday 07.11.<br><strong>Balance Trust &amp; Control<\/strong><br> Continues Flow<br><br>Wednesday 09.11.<br><strong>Trust<\/strong><br>Blind Flow<br><br>Thursday 10.11.<br><strong>Open Theme<\/strong><br>Yogis Choice<br><br>Friday 11.11.<br><strong>Transition &amp; Balance<\/strong><br>Flow<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#0b591d;font-size:26px\">Thank you for your trust in me &#8211; see you on the mat!<br><br>Love,<br><br>Nicole<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dear Yogis and Yoginis, These definitions and meanings I found in the net about trust:&nbsp;&#8216;Belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, etc. &#8230;Trust, assurance, confidence imply a feeling of security. trust&nbsp;implies (&hellip;) <a href=\"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/balance-of-trust-control\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-body-mind-soul","category-yoga"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1401"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1401\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1454,"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1401\/revisions\/1454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicoleohme.ch\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
