Greetings!
Why does the world not move forward in the way that we would like it to? Why do our relationships with our family, friends and lovers never improve? Why does our business hardly ever run as smoothly as it could?
Because we never speak the truth, our truth, the one that lies closest to our hearts, or encourage others to do likewise. Expressing what we feel about certain situations, relationships and the community we are a part of, the global society to which we belong.
Of course many of us have been conditioned not to speak, or to speak only from the head rather than the heart, where we tell people how to live their lives, rather than express to others what it is like for us to experience life as we do, what is special about the unique individual we are presenting to the world, what true voice we carry inside us that needs to be heard.
Today's video by the great time lapse photographer Louis Schwartzberg reminds us again of the sheer beauty of life, our individual part in it and the story, or truth, we ourselves have been born to tell - OMG!
For more on speaking your truth and what it truly means for us to express it, please read on.
Have a great weekend.
Kind regards

Speaking Your Truth
The only way to a life of true freedom
The best example I can give to people about speaking your truth, that's your deepest truth, the one that lies closest to your heart, the one that you need to tell a family member, lover, boss or even the world at large so you can move forward with your life. Is that it is a bit like throwing a stone into a pond.
This was another piece of enlightenment that came to me during my stay in Tamera, a place that has many ponds or lakes, and a great many stones that need to be thrown into them, by the people that attend such a place.
As we journey through life, very often we will come up against relationships, jobs or situations that we find very difficult to progress or move on from, because in some way shape or form they have a hold over us. Others may speak their truth about the situation, a parent, lover, boss or leader of government, or there maybe an assumed doctrine that is present that even they aren't in agreement with. However, because we don't speak our truth then all circumstances continue to remain the same. Which creates ever more unhappy people.
Of course we firstly need to know what our truth is, who we really are as people, what we stand for and what our purpose in life is, linked to our unique talents, passions and angers. Once we know this we can then start to really speak in alignment with our true selves. As we begin to acknowledge this, it is then far easier to start opening our mouths.
Then once we know what our truth is, we have a simple decision to make, to speak it or to leave it unsaid. If we opt for the latter nobody is any the wiser and the status quo always remains the same, if we have the courage to speak it, things can start to change for the better.
OK, so say you are in a circle of people or even one to one with someone and the conversation starts to spin around to a topic you begin to feel you have a valid opinion upon, how it makes you feel from your own experience. Then you will start to become aware of your own power. Your pulse will start to quicken, your heart will begin to pump, you'll have a burst of energy around your being, you may well start sweating, your mouth may indeed dry up. You may naturally associate these feelings with fear, but they are simply a sign that you need to express yourself to the situation at hand. You have come into your power.
We have to learn how to both live with these feelings and channel these impulses into audible conversation rather than emotional outbursts.To speak from the heart rather than the head. The head reacts to situations and starts attacking others as we may feel we are being attacked ourselves, but our heart only speaks for the greater good, it comes from a place that is different, separated, from spirit itself.
Our truth is like a stone that we carry around in our pocket. If we stand on the edge of the lake which could be any circle we are a part of and it comes time for us to speak, we can choose not to say anything, but that stone then remains in our pocket. The next time we visit the lake the same can happen again and so on, gradually we will become more and more de-energized and tired by carrying all our unspoken truths around with us. We will not be a well person, we will have to live with the dis-ease we continue to feel.
Alternatively if we can have the courage to take our stone from our pocket and throw it into the lake, that stone will hit the water and its ripples will flow outwards hitting the shore, influencing others no doubt, but those ripples will dissipate and be immersed back into the lake for everybody to move on from for the better, aware of everyone's truth. For as we all know the truth will set our spirits free!
