Truth
Today, the energy of the Mermaids invites us into a conversation around truth. We are encouraged to admit the truth to ourselves. This is not always easy. In fact, sometimes we think we are telling ourselves the truth, when we are actually lying to ourselves. We do this out of self-protection and survival. While this is most often unconscious, it is an intentional and learned behavior that does not serve us or those around us.
When we accept the truth, we allow ourselves to step into a deeper relationship with self. We discover more of our authentic self and begin to give ourselves the permission and freedom to be who we are. This is a fundamental part of self-care and self-discovery.
Sometimes the truth is painful - especially when we judge ourselves. This is another reason we sometimes avoid it. However, this pain, like all others, is temporary - and, breaking through this allows us to open our hearts, heal, and release the internal narratives that are no longer serving us.
When we are honest with ourselves, we also begin to see the choices we have been making and the results of those choices. We further discover how significant free-will is in our lives. This allows us to begin to make choices that serve us and are based on our authenticity.
In addition, it reminds us in a fundamental way to have compassion for others for they are experiencing the same process that we are. While we may intellectually realize that there are always at least 2 sides to any story, the process of discovering and acknowledging our truth allows us to see from different perspectives that others are making choices based on what they believe to be true and out of their own filters and self-imposed limitations. Thus, this realization allows us to detach and not personalize the behavior of others.
As we begin to stand in an authentic way in the world, we also begin to trust ourselves to a greater extent. This allows us to open to and trust our intuition, as well as to develop a relationship with Spirit and our guides. This also opens the doors for us to live an authentic life that honors ourselves and others, bringing greater freedom into our experience.
Take the time to come into heart coherence today. Breathe into your heart space a little slower and a little deeper. Call forth the energy of the Mermaids and your guidance team. Ask them to reveal to you where you are not being honest in your life.
Allow your focus to also consider any area of your life where you have worries, concerns, or stress. Be radically honest with yourself about the dynamics of the situation, your role in it, and your feelings about it. Push past the first rational response of the intellectual mind and ego and continue asking how you feel about the situation.
Are you hiding anything from yourself? Why are you doing this?
Are you hiding anything from others? If so, why? Do you believe you have to? Do you believe they cannot handle the truth? Do you believe you will be punished? Do you believe you have to protect them? Do you believe you have to protect yourself?
Are you willing to speak your truth to self and to others in a loving way?
Are you willing to see how you and everyone else in your life have free-will?
Are you keeping secrets?
Do you feel like others are keeping secrets from you?
How do you feel about secrets?
Do you trust yourself?
Do you like who you are? Are you willing to accept yourself no matter what?
Greater truths will be revealed to all of us throughout the coming years. Now more than ever, when we ask for the truth, it will be revealed - always, of course, in its perfect timing. The first step is being honest with yourself, Dearest Ones. And, if you stick with it and honor yourself, honesty and truth will transform your entire life and set you free. And, so it is!
