Authenticity relates to the ability to stand for, embrace and pursue that which is meaningful, valuable and an accurate representation of who or what an individual believes him- or herself to be.
It is impossible for one to achieve or attain something they do not believe in or deem valuable, worthy or important.
Authenticity relates to an individual's willingness and ability to be a stand (walk the talk) and take a stand (ask for what is desired) for who he or she believes him- or herself to be at the moment while remaining open to healing, growth and transformation.
Essential Characteristics:
1. Presence and mental/emo- tional state of being
2. Demonstration of self-aware- ness and self-acceptance
3. Willingness to live without pretense or defense
4. Demonstration of self-value, self-worth and self-respect
5. Willingness to participate fully in all arenas of living
6. Willingness to ask for what is needed/required under all circumstances
7. Acceptance and acknowledg- ment of divine uniqueness
8. Opportunity to support and participate in the natural ordered healing and growth process

Dear God:
Show me how to transform at the deepest level of my being Father God, where it counts - at the heart and soul level.
When I allow myself the time to be still, a whole new world and way of being presents itself - thank You, God.
Thank You for helping me to move and shift and grow so I can be a bold declaration and demonstration of soulful trans-formation that far transcends what I can see, feel, know or acknowledge in this right now moment.
Thank You for the time to just be, and to enjoy the ease and gentleness of the day. Thank You for the surrender of all judgments about what I should be doing and for the ability to trust that everything that needs to get done will be accomplished effortlessly.
Thank You for this new found wisdom that says, "Have your perfect way with me God." I give myself to You and I know You're working wonders in, as and through me moment by precious moment.
I love You God! Amen and Ashe

Today, I am connected firmly and passionately to my true self!
I realize my potential, and I honor it by allowing myself to be uniquely me!
I consciously release all false
versions of who I thought I was
and consciously replace them with
a connection to my authentic self.
The most sincere place of impact in my life happens when I am honest my self! Today, I choose honesty.
I create loving relationships from a
place of knowing who I really am.
In this moment, I focus my attention
on using my time and talents to
create a world that supports
a greater unfoldment of Life.
Today, I align my inner higher Self
with my day to day activities,
blessing everything that requires
me to change and grow.
Today, I stand grounded in the
power of my most authentic self.

The Application of Authenticity
In order to be authentic, you must be willing to acknowledge and accept the natural outgrowths of everything you think, do, and say in this life. . . . Anything that shows up is either a reflection of God, or a reflection of you. Authenticity also requires that you stay in touch with your feelings. You cannot deny what you feel, and you cannot hold it back. Be authentic! Learn how to describe and communicate what you are feeling when you feel it, first to yourself. You can communicate with others as necessary. Another important aspect of being authentic is the willingness to always tell the truth. Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks call it "the microscopic truth." This means telling the truth about every little thing. . . . When you hurt, don't say it's okay. Own your pain. Own your fear. Own everything you create, internally and externally. Acknowledge every emotion for exactly what it is, a part of you. Authenticity also demands no comparison. You cannot compare yourself or what you do to anyone else. You are you! You represent a true and original part of the Master. There is no one else like you. Finally and most important of all, authenticity means that you must do what you do the way you do it and allow everyone else the same courtesy.

Mind Over Medicine: How to Help Your Body Heal Itself
Your body is a self-healing organism. By bypassing its natural self-repair process and handing all your power over to a doctor, you might be ignoring the very thing you need to heal. This is not a revolutionary idea. As doctors, we learn that the body can heal itself. Our physiology texts teach us that it is brilliantly equipped with natural self-repair mechanisms that kill the cancer cells we produce every day, fight infectious agents, repair broken proteins, keep our coronary arteries open and naturally fight the aging process.
