Telling the Truth






The truth heals. Telling the truth is about freedom. It is about joy and peace and health and living a life that is meaningful, powerful, connected, and loving.

Ultimately, it is about feeling good in your skin, unencumbered, free, and having the life that you want to live.

The truth is often uncomfortable because it has been suppressed so long, because there is such shame and guilt attached to it, because it has not been spoken for years, if ever.

The truth is an energy force of such magnitude that it pushes itself to the surface one way or another. Its denial or suppression will manifest as ill health, dysfunctional relationships, or financial problems.

Everything that happens to us is stored in our energy field and in our body. Ultimately, healing and health happen to a body/mind/soul that wants to know the truth. Even after a life-time of suppression, a body/mind/soul that wants to know and is willing to let go of painful secrets can heal itself, a family, or even a nation. What ultimately saves us is what we were certain would kill us....the truth.
