Healing Power of Truth

Truth is a complex concept. Perhaps it would be easier if there were different words for the range of meaning available when we invoke the term ‘truth’. There is the absolute truth of 2x2=4. Then there is the subjective truth of the witnessing eye. Several witnesses to an event may offer wildly differing versions but be certain they are describing the truth. This is truth as filtered through each person’s mind and coloured by the experiences, prejudices and physical location of the individual.

 Extending beyond the detached witness, we come to the truth of the experienced event. This tends to be even more dependent upon the distorting filter of the personality, especially for the child. As this can be a serious block to a person’s healing I often work firstly to reveal the kernel of truth at the centre of their physical, emotional or spiritual dis-ease. So for instance an energy field reading may reveal,

  “When you were three you felt very sad and alone because your mother was no longer as attentive or emotionally available.”

  From the clarity of that deep seated 'true' feeling and the compassion we have for the suffering child, we can then start to unravel the massively destructive ‘untruths’ that have accumulated around the person’s interpretation of events. Hence,

 “But this wasn’t abandonment because you, the child, were bad or unworthy. The truth for your mother was that she wasn’t coping with the new baby/her father's death/your dad's drinking etc etc” 

  For many of us the most consistent ‘truth’ in our lives is that our commitment to a faulty belief in our own unworthiness has led to bad choices, unhappy relationships and/or work experiences and/or ultimately heath issues.

  I believe that we have a physiological connection to truth. And, therefore, through truth we have access to a wonderful tool for health and healing. The more time that we spend in a state of truthfulness with ourselves, the less our vibration tolerates ‘untruth’ either from our own ego or from those around us. This is a major step towards living consciously, truthfully and healthfully.
 Conversely it also means that ‘living a lie’ can literally make us sick and can throw us out of sync with the resonance of a healthy body. And indeed hiding a truth can be very destructive for individuals, families or organisations and institutions. It is like a festering boil - it may take a while to come to the surface but the truth will always out, one way or another.
