Speaking your Truth is Love

​Withholding, withdrawing, for self protection creates more separation and more suffering.
Withholding, withdrawing to protect other people from ourselves creates more separation and more suffering.
Withdrawing, withholding because we think we're not enough creates more separation and suffering .

Choosing to drop into our hearts instead of our heads leads to the compassion, the reconnection, the completion everybody needs to heal and expand and become who we are truly here to be, not separate, but together. Rather than chasing the lost bits of ourselves around in circles for what feels like forever.

As a friend said yesterday, it's not the time spent separate that heals all wounds. It's having the courage to drop into our hearts in the presence of our wounds and of others wounds in the present, that starts to magnetise back all the right puzzle pieces as they're meant to fit and transform them into love. To love with the fiercest and most gentle presence, to transform with fierce compassion the wounds in the other that mirror our own wounds and the wounds in us that mirror theirs.

To find we're not that different, that they fear what you fear, they hurt like you've hurt and they want the love, the connection, the healing, the happiness, the success, the deep fulfilment, the wholeness, for you and for them, and the peace that you want.

​But none of that can happen until we dare to drop into our hearts and lovingly, with permission, with "I"statements of ownership of what we see, we hear, we sense, we feel, have the courage to speak the truth that's truly in our hearts. And through our courage, empower others to do the same.

​One of the things this lifetime has reminded me again and again is to always speak our hearts truth, to let ourselves feel how we really feel, to say where you're really at, to say what you really feel, what you really need. To just take the chance and get it out there. Right here, right now, not in 6 months, a year, 10 years. Yes it might not be perfectly eloquent. Yes it might not be totally what we or they (think) we want. Yes that might mean you need to give up or let go of something. It might mean things will change or we might lose something. But it is so much kinder for everyone involved to get it out there, to get it over with, to let the endings and rebirths happen that need to...right now.

To delay the transformation that needs to occur is to live fragmented in the stasis of a fantasy world of our imagination, of dreams never realised, that never ground into our reality. Cluttered with puzzle pieces out of order, that don't fit the picture we're trying to fit them into. Living imprisoned by a cage of fear, of loss, of pain, of numbness, of fear of being alone or being worse off than we already are. What kind of life is that? What is that truly teaching our children about love to allow that? What is that teaching our clients about that?

BUT then what if we were to speak that truth and evolution happen? What if feeling all we feel is the source of both our liberation? What if that connection because of that truth were then to deepen? And blossom into what it is truly meant to be? To get to the depth of heart connection and love you, they, are truly meant to be operating at?
