The most powerful thing that we can do is to stop lying. We cannot be honest with others until we are honest with ourselves. I am not talking about the bold-faced, blatant lies, but rather the little fibs that we all tell. They are insidious and have an adverse effect on our consciousness and even on our bodies.
Did you know that when you tell a lie, the body reacts by going out of alignment at least to some degree? The greater the lie, the greater the misalignment. This is the principle that lie detectors rely on.
To be honest in our expression we must by-pass the “warring” mind that is constantly in a conflicted state of duality, and go straight to the heart. That is the seat of the authentic self. When we express from the heart, whether it be with spoken or written words, or via the various arts for that matter, we are being true to ourselves.
Others resonate with this pure expression because in that peaceful and centered place within the heart, we are all ONE. The soul recognizes its own. So strive for honesty, even with the little things, and you will bring healing to yourself, and will heal and uplift others who are “touched” by the spirit of love and truth that infuses your communication.
