Your true self is NOT in your intellect. It lives in your BODY

Your true self is not an abstract concept.

It is not a cognitive, intellectualized belief/self image. Your true self does not live in your intellect. It lives in your body. Your embodied truth is a very real, tangible experience of who you are.

You experience it in your tissues. The truer you are to yourself, the more resting place there is in your body.

The less true you are to yourself, the tighter & more painful your body feels. It is your body that owns, holds and carries all your wisdom, truth, intuition, all the secrets to your well-being & healing, but also all your grief, sorrow and fire. Not your conscious mind. Your conscious mind is extremely powerful as it can act as the gateway to your truth, but the keeper of the truth is your body because your body is your unconscious mind. It is your body that housed and kept safe who you denied to be all this time. Your body believed in you in all these times that you haven't. That's why unearthing, integrating and celebrating your uniqueness cannot be done outside of the body's direct involvement in your becoming of who you were meant to be. Your authenticity should feel like an exhale in your body and anything that you may be holding on to will be pointed out by your body in the form of sensations such as tightness, buzzing, pressure, even illnesses or symptoms of any kind. Dis-eases happen within the context of inauthenticity and as a result of a visceral disowning of a certain truth about you. What is addressed, processed and embraced will be exalted in the form of an inner stillness that settles in the tissues of your body. You coming back home to you is you coming back in your body. You feel it in your body when you live your truth. This is what EMBODIED AUTHENTICITY is.
