Healing
begins when you start to tell the truth. Not only to others, but to
yourself.
Many
of us had witnessed denial and suppression as a way of life. We
learned to tolerate and put up with situations that we knew weren’t
for our highest good.
We minimized messages from our body. We ignored urgings from our heart.
We
observed others all around us behaving in the same manner, as a way
to conform and 'survive'.
And
this created a silent inner conflict that we learned not to voice. We
became accustomed to living with this helplessness.
We
reluctantly concluded that its better to be unaware, because some of
the things our heart required us to pay attention to meant we had to
change. And, coming out of our comfort zone was very risky.
But
on some level we also knew that with each passing moment where we
chose to remain in our denial, we would die just a little.
This
inner conflict is not conducive to healing rather, it creates
unhealthy energy.
We
feel stuck, frozen, rigid, brittle, out of balance and all the
feelings that range on the negative spectrum of emotion.
This
unspoken, denied awareness physiologically creates stress. And this insidious inner stress that we subject ourselves to lowers our immune system.
Did
you know that our DNA is also physical aspect of our body and is made
of energy? We can change our DNA's energy patterns thru our own
change of awareness.
So
healing begins when you become aware of your own energy, and noticing
if its creating feelings that are flowing, flexible, balanced, or
soft. Whether there's ease, or basically any sensation associated with
positive feelings.
Our
bodies are miraculous instruments that are attuned to truth.
Kinesiology
can prove that our entire muscular system either strengthens when we
tell the truth, pay attention to truth, or do what’s good for us.
And
our muscles literally weaken when we chose to be untruthful, either
to ourselves or others.
Our
heart is a powerful muscle. What implications does this have on the
entire functioning of our body, it's organs and systems?
Have
you even been in a job that you absolutely knew you didn't like but
convinced yourself to stay because of its monetary value? Recall how
your body felt as you continued to lie to yourself, suppress your
truth, and kept showing up each day 'half heatedly'? Maybe you
started to experience muscle aches, headaches, or your stomach
tightened?
This
is how we create our own inner 'heaven or hell'.
We
have the power to create an inner environment that either supports
well-being or dis-ease.
I
propose each of us start on the greatest project we will ever
undertake.
And
that is paying attention to all the subtle ways in which our body
communicates truth to us. No longer minimizing, denying or ignoring
this language.
Taking
small steps each day in speaking our truth, assertively and lovingly
asking for what we need from others.
Turning
up the volume of our heart, and slightly turning down the volume of our head.
This
is something I believe none of us will ever look back on and ever
regret. Would you agree?
Our
heart is always connected to truth, and our heart always longs to
guide us to optimal health and happiness.
An enlightened poet once said “Our heart knows reasons our head knows not of”.
