The Real Truth

Hello life adventurer, hope this provides insights in a way that is valuable to you. What is truth? What is the real truth? Well it depends on who you talk to. Everyone will give you a truth but is it The Truth? Let's unpack that

1) There is only one truth, and that’s the truth that you believe. This ‘truth’ influences your conscious actions, your subconscious ‘reactions’, your relationships, personality, characteristics, literally everything is influenced by your truth. The issue is that without self-work, your truth is heavily influenced by previous events, other peoples ‘truths’, or trauma that you’ve encountered from the moment you existed on this planet, including the time within the womb (such as generational/ancestral or mother trauma).

Me personally, I think the universe/God is made of healing energy and unconditional love and our purpose on this planet is to remember that. No matter what terrible or horrible things happen in the world, love is the goal. It’s not practical, it’s not logical, but that’s why it’s my truth, because it’s beyond our comprehension.

2) In my view, many of us carry unseen hurts from the past, like an injury nobody can see. People often go through life with painful patterns (anger, stress, difficulty finding love) without understanding the root. These hurts sit on a spectrum, and even families and groups can carry shared pain.

3) In my experience, we tend to attract the energy we put out, which may be why there are repeating patterns between individuals, countries, belief systems, etc. because the same energy is being put out. It’s not meant to be victim-blaming in any way, but I know we contribute to our situations as individuals and society. Accepting that is a huge step that most people never do.

4) Our purpose in life is to grow, heal and love. I don’t think life is a test but an opportunity to be better than we were before, to improve our bloodline, to improve society.

5) The journey to healing is a blessed journey but it may be a lonely one. Healing is a beautiful journey inward, alone. The ones that truly heal are few but every person that heals, changes the lives of those around them.

These are some of the books and techniques that really helped me and I hope they do the same for you:

• Read Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch. It is a very unique perspective on the meaning of existence and flips our understanding of everything upside down. - Read The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, which looks at how our bodies store the memory of trauma. - Take a free trauma-informed coaching course from The Centre for Healing. It is meant for coaches, but it is helpful for anyone who wants to understand how trauma is processed by the body. - Explore the Silva method (silvaultramind.com) to learn how to quiet the mind and focus your intentions. - Try breathwork to settle your feelings: box breathing or Wim Hof breathing. Breath-hold and fast-breathing methods are not for everyone, so please read the safety note in our post Just One Breath first.

Trust the process, learn your real, unbiased truth and enjoy the ride.
