Hello everybody.
Welcome to day four of our time together.
Today's theme is honest and not silent.
We're going to be looking at honesty,
Intensity and intimacy.
Clarity is asking something of you.
And it doesn't just show you what's true.
It asks if you're willing to live inside of that truth.
So today's work is all about being honest and exploring what that looks like in our relationships and in our lives.
Before we begin,
Take a deep breath into your chest and exhale slowly.
Dropping your shoulders,
Softening and unclenching your jaw.
Take another deep breath into your chest,
Filling up your lungs.
And exhale slowly,
Softening,
Dropping your shoulders and being fully present here.
As you're breathing,
Notice your throat.
Notice your chest and your jaw.
Notice your body and your heart space.
These are the places where we hold what we don't say.
Bring to mind something you've been holding back.
This isn't about rehearsing it or harping on it.
It's simply an ask to acknowledge it.
When it comes to our relationships,
Sometimes we tend to confuse intensity with connection.
Big emotions,
Fast,
Closeness,
Constant engagement.
But that isn't always intimacy.
And the older you get,
The more you see that intimacy is steady.
It can hold truth without falling apart.
And so as you walk through the season that you're in,
I'd like you to ask yourself,
What have I been afraid to say?
Let that answer come gently.
You don't have to pretend you're okay if you're not.
You don't have to know the answer today either.
I want you to imagine yourself speaking the truth of your life.
Not perfectly or dramatically,
Just with clarity.
What happens in your body?
Take one long exhale,
Dropping your shoulders and really softening into the space you're in.
Holding this close,
You are allowed to be honest without abandoning yourself.
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale through an opened mouth,
Sighing it out.
A few more of those breaths.
Calling you back to the truth of your life.
Rocking you gently and steadily,
Reminding you that you are always held,
Even when it feels challenging to be honest about what is and what isn't.
What truth have I been holding back?
What am I afraid will happen if I say it?
Where have I been choosing silence over self-respect?
I want you to remember that honesty changes things.
Sometimes it deepens our bonds,
But other times it may reveal what no longer fits It may reveal what is no longer in alignment.
That is a part of the process.
That is a part of your work.
That is a part of your healing.
Tomorrow we're going to be exploring letting go.
Not as a loss,
But as a gateway to deeper alignment and self-respect.
Until then,
Take good care.
