Bringing the Truth Within to Surface.


Speaking your truth and honouring it is one of the most liberating experiences one can undergo in this lifetime. Rather than worrying about how it will be perceived by others or how they will react to it or judge you on it, when you stand your ground for what you believe in and who you are, you are showing profound respect for yourself.



This helps you usher in energy that is of resonance with what it is that you are seeking to attract in your life because you are not blocking it by denying that it is what you truly desire for yourself in your life in terms of what it is that you want to experience. It also develops your throat chakra (in all the people I've done healing work on, this chakra is one that a great majority have had completely blocked) and lets it flow in a smoother way. 

If others judge your truth that is their issue not yours- it doesn't mean not hearing them out, maybe they have a point to make that can help illuminate certain aspects of your experience, but always remember when people judge rather than observe they are upholding you to what they have chosen to experience for themselves rather than honouring where you are in your journey. Changing who you are based solely on another persons judgement means that you are trying to live the experience they have chosen for themselves and denying yourself the freedom to live a life you choose for yourself. Living your life according to others dictates restricts your own freedom and potential to be happy.

Being true to yourself and expressing your truth to other people helps you establish healthy boundaries. Appropriate boundaries that are not a result of conditioning (to understand what is and what isn't conditioned you have to be very honest with yourself and delve into your inner depths. 

When you begin to do that and heal from past wounds it helps you discern what has been programmed into you and what you freely, without the influence of prior traumas that have affected your decisions, choose for yourself) set up a framework where you outline how it is that you will treat yourself and allow others to treat you. 

This actually effectively improves your relationships with other people because you no longer allow them to treat you in a way that creates resentment in you. It allows both parties involved to appreciate each other for who they truly are rather than building a status quo where one takes on the role of the superior and the other an inferior, being told how it is they should live and what it is that they should feel.

What you feel is what you feel, there is no right or wrong to it. Never allow someone else's judgement of your feeling to make you feel bad for feeling that way. This will help you in deciding what you want to do about this feeling and where you go with it.  Every day in every way we make a plethora of choices. 

When we choose to live according to who we are rather than who we think we should be according to our perception of who others want us to be, and stop feeling guilty about it we are upholding the sacred held within us. This doesn't mean we have to trample over other peoples feelings or harm others, it just means being assertive and firm about what is right for you, in a healthy capacity.  This also enables detachment from outcomes because when we start enjoying the experience and the journey we focus less on our anxiety about what we will get out of it at the end. It assists you in trusting yourself because you know you will not settle for less than what you know you rightfully deserve and have set for yourself as a goal. 

Being true to who you are allows you to really live life in a way that you learn more about yourself from each experience. It causes further recognition of what makes you happy. Unless you create space for what you desire how will it ever come to you?

Respect yourself, respect that you are a unique individual who is connected to a mass of individuals and can impact them in a meaningful way. Appreciate their individuality and don't let yourself devalue yours. 

We are all beautiful in our own way, removing the judgement aspect of it (and despite what many claim, it is possible to live judgement free and we are not always in judgement- when you observe without assigning a value to that observation you are effectively freeing yourself from it) removes our blinders to that beauty in each.  You have the capacity for boundless joy and beauty, don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
