Speak Truth With Love

Twice in one week this idea of truth spoken in love presented itself to me. So I thought, I must be supposed to think about this.

I often hear about the importance of speaking one’s truth or about the power of authentic expression. From a glance they both seem great but from a deeper look I began to question what exactly is meant by truth.

What is my own authentic expression? My own opinions are at the mercy of my mood, my likes and interests change with seasons and time.

I see some speaking truth in ways that may in fact just be harmful. Is everything we are feeling really meant to be shared? Is every thought really a truth? Does the world need to know our intimate details for us to be authentic?

Well from where I sit, the truth is more elusive than we might think.

I don’t believe it is all thoughts and feelings that go through us. I also dont believe it is our job to inform the world of every aspect of us. In our world of broadcasting daily lives we have forgotten that privacy was at one point in time an acceptable and reasonable thing.

So where does the truth, that sets one free, that takes down barriers really live?

It exists in love.

Truth is operating from love and non resistance while also accepting the things that aren’t so loving. Love is not only positive or perfect seeming language. It can express bold and even difficult things. Although most of them wouldn’t be difficult if they were received in love (a talk for another time).

Love can say, “I want to change” and so can resistance . But how they are experienced and the impact they have will be different.

Love is an open and receptive power, and fear is a closed and disconnected block. We can feel our own loving energy, we can feel the emotion even in hard moments. If we can soften our body and come in to our heart and feel just a tiny bit more love, and speak while aware of that, we will say very powerful things.

From an even deeper spiritual truth we are not our personality or are body, we are not the thoughts or beliefs we have, so to speak ones truth is only to allow your open heart to express a divine response to life.

So I encourage you to try this: Be in a moment and don’t just express what you think or feel in a moment, not initially, come in to the center of the chest, be aware of how you feel, if its tense come back to safety, then try and open your heart, invite in a more loving perspective, and speak your authentic expression from there.

If you cant get there, you can say, what you are experiencing.

Sharing what we are experiencing is a truth but we are not claiming it as “our truth”. For example, to say “I am experiencing disappointment over this right now, it wont last forever but that is just my current feeling”.is more true to your real nature than I am disappointed. You are not disappointed, you are love, source and life itself experiencing humanity.

I know for me there are many “truths” I have said from resistance and they had no power but when I said the same thing from love and acceptance, they changed my life.

In your heart, you can feel what can be shared and what does not need to be in any given moment. You can know what serves truth and what doesnt. You just have to rest your awareness in your loving heart center and choose to open.

Even in my readings, the more in the heart I am, the more powerful the message the more dramatic the energetic shift.

I encourage you to practice this and see how your life might shift.

With Love and Truth,

Avery
