Speaking Our Truth............

Speaking our truth is a responsibility that all of us ought to adhere to, one that if expressed in a loving and open way will allow the flowing movement of energy to maintain balance in our lives, not allowing any festering emotions to bubble inside, which by leaving words unsaid can cause disharmony to enter our lives.
None of us are perfect, I know some think that they are, though they are usually the ones who live by judgement and manipulation, angry people who do not speak their truth, to anyone, let alone themselves.
To encounter someone who is willing to tell you what is truly on their mind is liberating, for me it allows me to see where I too require more releasing, or perhaps may simply need to pay more attention to my usage of words, because in the passion of a moment we can speak a word that does not often reflect an emotion within us, maybe we did not search long enough for another word to take its place, but this slip of the tongue can have devastating effects.
Language is vital, and the energy that words play in our lives can change the direction of relationships in a blink of an eye, especially if we are unable to speak in honesty about what has caused us to back off. As in all aspects of our lives, we must honour what vibrates in unison with our soul, if we feel we have heard or spoken something that does not ring true for us we must deal with it before it gets out of hand.
If you are in a loving place in your heart, you will speak and hear in love, you will not rise to anger whether your are the speaker or the listener, the exchange will be one of honesty.
Last night I had the ability to see how far I have come in this area, having used a word in a recent conversation, and after careful contemplation I have found does not resonant within me, yet still its negative echos left my lips. I did not react in a negative way on hearing that this word did not sit well with the other person, instead I found it a welcomed reminder of how fragile our relationships can be, that in a second a word can cause a relationship to change course if a misunderstanding or misinterpretation is not dealt with, thus leaving people bewildered at what went wrong.
Speak with love in your heart at all times, whether to your self or to another as each time you enter into conversation you are creating the tone of your life.........................
