Our bodies are broadcasting what is happening to us emotionally and psychologically

 Our bodies are broadcasting what is happening to us emotionally and psychologically 

Overweight ppl aren’t just lazy.  They are protecting themselves from predators.  Ppl with chronic pain aren’t ’all in their head’ they are unable to release suppressed emotions.  People with organ failure are full of manifested terror.  Ppl with long term illnesses that happen much later in life, are happening now bcoz their bodys are telling on them

We are liars.  The first victim of lying is the liar.  Every time we lie, we split.  Eveytime we lie our body experiences one thing, and our mind and words experience another thing, at the same time.  Each lie carves a piece of ourself out of the togetherness we seek.  We fragment.  

Most lies are not motivated by external gain but by internal emotional desperation.  Most lies are told to attract attention, gain sympathy, earn admiration, and to alleviate feelings of abandonment. We lie to fill a void 

We can catch ourselves, before we start to tell the lie.  Start small.  Baby steps. Everytime we lie we build a longer, higher, thicker wall, between who we are and who we were meant to be. 

Food and environment play a huge part in our rise to health and to our health’s decline…BUT I also believe emotional toll plays a bigger role than we can comprehend.  Year after year after year, this action stops being an emotional thing, and starts manifesting into a physical thing 

It shows itself in our nervous system, our weight, how we appear, our energy, our health.  Even polite lies ruin us. Chronic lying is linked to heart disease, diabetes, acceloraed aging and other heath issues.  Lying constantly creates cognitive dissonance.  Maintaining two or more realities is making us sick

So one thing ceremony teaches us is NOT TO LIE.  We lie to avoid rejection and abandonment, but lying guarantees those.  What we fear, we create.  Some of our elders and knowledge keepers are not trying to be mean.  They have to tell the truth, even when they themselves, struggle with being completely honest.  We are just humans 

Being honest is more than just implementing boundaries.  Creating cycles of rejection are, at the end of the day, creating self betrayal and self betrayal are compounded lies.  

The truth hurts sometimes.  There is a way to be truthful without being hurtful.  But the more we go into ceremony the more we have to get real about everything.  It’s very freeing to tell on ourselves

 I love her writing.

That’s a beautiful way to talk about lies and health and spirit.

You can’t heal with lies. And the worse lies we tell ourselves are the worse. Like it’s ok if I add 3 tsp of sugar to my coffee.

Ceremony is just routine and not a healing ritual when we lie. For some of us Meskins, the Catholicism or church equates it with sin. And guilt is useless. Sometimes we have to lie to the “ MAN” for survival. 

I always say we lie to the food stamp office about the money in our pocket . We should not lie to the ones we love and that includes ourselves. 

It helps to have a group of Beloved who hold us accountable and we know love and respect us. Hold people responsible to the truth and remain open for any clarity and insight. This is the way we talked when we sat by the fire,
