Authentic Communication
How To Speak Up And Stay Connected To Truth
Dear friends, I’m running a promotion for A Love Alchemist’s Notebook. It is ONLY .99 cents today, tomorrow, then goes up incrementally. Want a copy?
As an empath, I can feel energies of the environment and people in it. Yesterday, after clearing energy and feeling better than I have in weeks, a new symptom appeared. It felt like a sad little lump in my throat.
I sat with it, asking: Am I sad? No. Do I need to say something? No. I noticed my pelvic bowl, my Root energy center, felt a bit tight and empty which indicates sacral energetic disconnection. I asked: Do I feel disempowered? No. Finally: Whose energy is this? It’s not mine.
When I get this answer, I tend to review everyone I’ve recently been with or thinking about. As I went through my list, it became clear this is an energy in the collective Feminine. Then, I felt that this physical sensation is also about Monday’s Mars-Uranus conjunction in Taurus. It is a blockage that wants release through the throat chakra - through sound and speech.
Mars-Uranus in Taurus: Speak Up
Planets express energy. As they connect to one another through an aspect, this creates a wave of energy on Earth which builds and then releases. Some energies are little waves, others are stronger waves. Monday’s Taurus meeting of Mars (planet of honesty, action) with Uranus (planet of authenticity, liberation) is a stronger one. Something has built up tension. A freeing wants to happen. Even if actions appear “sudden” they’re not.
Taurus provides the motivation, as the sign wants to be: valued, honored, safe, peaceful and well-resourced (money is one form of resource but there are others). Vocalizing helps, as Taurus rules the throat and throat chakra.
Here are some intuitions around this aspect:
o Authentically speak up
o Play with your voice energetics a bit more. Sing. Recite poetry. Speak. I’ve been humming and singing to myself quite a bit lately. This is also fantastic for relaxedly stimulating your parasympathetic nervous system.
o Vocalizing what it is you WANT radically shifts energies now
o Notice when people aren’t speaking from a place of embodied Truth
Communicate From Your Authentic Truth
How do you know when you are speaking The Truth? How do you stay there?
Even if a topic feels hot and emotional, YOU CAN FEEL COOL while speaking to it. THE Truth is like the noonday Sun. There are no sides to it, and no shadows. You can feel this. Contrast this to how you feel when expressing “MY Truth”. My Truth has some Truth in it, but is often diluted by conditioning, wounding, victimization so is harder to validate.
The Truth is The Truth is The Truth. Period. What is True can always be run through a litmus test and come up True in a universal way.
For instance: We are unique, have different preferences and must honor ourselves in individual and specific ways. ← The Truth. If I’m sharing that I haven’t felt honored, it feels very personal to me, but I want to feel The Truth running through me: I am allowed to honor myself. ←This Truth is neutral, irrefutable. I stay in this Truth. I don’t deviate from it or get pulled into little truth stories. Why? I am protected by big Truth. I feel safe and solid in it.
In capital “T” big Truth, you will feel connected, embodied, clear and neutral.
Embodied Authentic Speaking Practice
Truth: Sharks live in the ocean. It is their home. There has also been an uptick in attacks and shark sightings lately, here in Oahu. Here’s a video I made.
“Live in your Truth and you’ve nothing to fear.”
“Authenticity always has a ripple effect for others. So, trust your Soul’s Truth! This is your innate Divine Guidance at work in its most elegant, efficient, and enlightened form.” – Truth card, Intuitive Energy Divination Deck
Do the following practice BEFORE going into a conversation in which you want to be: totally clear, in your own energy, empowered.
Ground, root and center. If you’re not familiar with this practice I suggest visiting my podcast or going here and here and here. Or my card deck.
Notice what you are feeling in your body. Where is the energy turned up? Running fast? Stuck? Anxious? Tense? Congested? Other?
Dialogue with that. You can place your hand over that spot. You might ask: What does my Guidance want me to know about this sensation? If you discover a charge around something you’ve been thinking or feeling, set the intention to both acknowledge and release it.
If you know you are empathic, also ask: Is this mine?
If it is not yours, set the intention to release this now.
Ask: “Show me how it feels to communicate (X) from a place of Truth.” Pay special attention to your Root, your pelvic bowl. This holds your personal power. If you feel your conditioning or other than “T” Truth, you can find a way to turn that into Truth. “I feel like I’m not supposed to put myself first”…”I’m allowed to….” You want to feel neutral, and nice and full, here.
Going forward set the intention to feel this clear, connected, while speaking and to breathe energy from your Root, pelvic bowl, as you speak.
Coming out of this practice: Did you feel the calm, stable, cool feeling of Truth? Will you decide to take only this with you into conversation?
…Sending you deliciously embodied and peaceful energy!
So vital. ❤️
