A little snack from my second book. As terrifying or agitating as our emotions can be, if we let them come we will find a gentle pearl of wisdom at the core of whatever emotions we are traveling with. Did you know that the heart organ is 65% brain...and it has an uninterrupted connection to the emotional-cognitive brain? What this means is that...all of our answers are in our bodies. It is the place of intuition. We feel our answers first. That first feeling is the correct answer...once the feeling gets up to the brain we tend to get distorted and doubtful of the original feeling. Remember...all of your correct decisions are made within the body...how you feel ...that very first feeling is the correct decision. Try and harness your truth today...and then don't think about it so much. Just do it!

Truth

Living my truth
what does that mean?
It means that I must live
according to my distinctive feelings.

My emotions are the most
enlightened aspect of my humanity.
The thoughts in my head
cannot be my inner authority.
They confuse me and instill mental misery

I have to feel
even if it is terrifying.
My stomach drops
into each emotion that is so alive
each one with its own intense ride.
I fear I will not survive.

I must develop my ability to see past
the wave of the emotion.
Clarity will come as the wave
returns to the calm of the ocean.

Each emotion has a truth to tell me,
each will offer the exact guidance
I will need

To live my truth
my defenses must go down.
I have to let go.
Into my emotions I must travel.

My truth lives in the core of each emotion.
I will peel back layers of distortion
and swim into their ocean.

A truth I do know…

I am a strong woman
