  • S3E2 Is it Trust or Faith?
    Jan 28 2026

    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.
