Harboring Lies

We live in a culture that is dying for the truth ~ literally.  When we keep painful secrets or tell lies, we distort our energy fields, weaken our immune systems, pickle our organs, constrict our hearts, rattle our brains, and confuse our nervous systems.  Lies turn the body into a toxic waste dump.

TRUTH HEALS

Little white lies, what harm can they do?  Plenty.  Lies not only distort the truth and dishonor the self,  they also give others a false impression.  Lies are like potato chips in that you can't just settle for one!  No matter what the intention, lies have a way of increasing deception and eventually set us up for a great fall.

We may think we have hidden a poor choice, but the truth has a way of erupting when least expected and if we happen to deny the situation things can rapidly take a different course.  Lies appear to be the easy way out, but only on the surface.  Telling the truth from the very start may be difficult, but once it is set straight, we are free to move forward. 

Telling the truth does not need to be abrasive nor offensive to another.  We may convince our selves that telling the truth will cause another pain, but in the long run, by lying, we will hurt them even more. 

If we harbor too many lies, the anxiety over the truth being discovered, can cause us not only mental anguish, but may begin to erode our physical being as well.  Dishonesty creates speed bumps that interrupt our natural energy flow.  Our energy becomes blocked and illness can follow when faced with prolonged dis-ease.  If left unattended, the spirit grows heavy and can be broken leading to depression of body, mind, and spirit.

Little white lies are such  easy responses, but in time complexity settles in.  Deceptions not only keep healthy relationships at bay, they also keep us distanced from our authentic selves.

Simple lies can lead to complex problems so endeavor to be a truth teller! In each and every moment we have the option to start anew or confess or forgive.   Being honest with our self is certainly a great beginning.
