How Would It Feel To Live Your Truth?

How would you imagine it would feel in the body if you felt safe to live your truth?

Maybe it would feel like a long sigh.

Or that first sip of a warm cup of tea.

Or when you put your feet up after a long day.

My favorite description of how it feels for me comes from this excerpt from a meditation by Sarah Blondin:

“I would like to give you permission to come out from hiding, and be here, unapologetically you. Let this be a reunion with the you you sometimes don’t allow yourself to be, and the you you are sometimes afraid to be. If you do not know who this is, it is the one inside of you that feels relief when it comes home and closes the door.”

Imagine how that feels—the feeling of coming home to yourself, of reconnecting with yourself on a deep, embodied level. That sense of inner safety allows space for authentic self-expression and the confidence to be your authentic self in all areas of life.

How can imagining the freedom to live authentically change your life?

Could it improve your relationships? (Authenticity in relationships grows naturally when you show up as yourself.)

Could it improve how you navigate your business or profession?

Could it improve your overall quality of life? (Living in alignment with your values, boundaries, and body creates clarity and ease.)

From my experience, my answer is an emphatic YES.

I didn’t always believe that. I also didn’t always feel safe living my truth. Perfectionism, fear of judgment, abandonment, and disapproval often ran the show. I wasn’t always connected to the feeling of being safe in my body or the nervous system safety that allows for bold, authentic expression.

But through the work I’ve done in my own healing journey—and now through the work I guide others in—I’ve learned how to cultivate embodied authenticity, integrate mind body healing, and use embodiment practices to strengthen the sense of inner safety required to live authentically.

Is it always perfect? No. That’s why it’s called practice. (If it were perfect, it would also not be living authentically.)

But every step toward living your truth is a step toward coming home to yourself. Every time you honor your body, your boundaries, and your inner knowing, you reinforce the capacity for authentic self-expression.

And you have the power to reconnect with yourself and cultivate embodied authenticity, too. Every day, you can practice living in alignment with your values and with the person you are at your core.

Your journey to being your authentic self is an ongoing practice of mind body healing, embodiment practices, and learning to trust that showing up as yourself is more than enough.

Come home to yourself. Be present in your body. Be unapologetically you.
