Trends vs. Truth

“Why do you so earnestly seek 
the truth in distant places?
Look for delusion and truth in the
bottom of your own heart.” 
-Ryōkan


I’m becoming increasingly aware of the fraudulence in the healing and healthcare industry. 
​(Fact: Instagram accounts dressed up in fancy branding do not equate to truth or to your healing.​)​

...

​You see, I’ve got a thing for truth. 
I have the feels, big time, for authenticity.

And now, as I have shifted from long-time patient/student/seeker to (still all of those things and...) provider/teacher/discoverer, my perspective is much keener.

Total Bullshit, except...

I used to be that person spending hundreds+ on supplements/providers each month.
(aka, I moved in with my mom in my 20s because my healthcare was more expensive than rent) 


I used to look for someone or something to take away my symptoms. 

I used to follow certain diets, demonize foods, seek perfection.

 
I used to think there was one answer that would solve my problems.

I used to think I was lost and that someone else needed to find me.
 
I have since learned that was all total BS... except the lost part. 

...

I was definitely lost.
Lost in negative belief systems, lost in fear, lost in giving away my power, lost in other people’s opinions, lost in a web of a lack of self-compassion, lost in past trauma, lost in physical pain, lost in exhaustion. It wasn’t that I needed anyone else to find me. What I needed were legitimate healers and inspirers to help me WAKE UP, reconnect with myself and set out on the true path back home to me, my power, my light.

No One Saves You

Along the way, here are some (personal) truths I’ve discovered…
1) Healing doesn’t have to be complicated or precise
...
although, that doesn’t mean it isn’t sometimes total hell and other times complete bliss. It does mean, however, that you don’t need to drop all of your money on fancy contraptions, supplements, claims, etc.
 
2) No one ever saves you
...you are your own healer. All of your power to heal is actually WITHIN you; it’s most likely just dormant. Find inspiring people that light you up and help you activate the epic-ness that you are. Before you know it, no matter what your symptoms or struggles, healing begins.
 
3) Everything you seek is already within you
...this is actually the quest you’re on. You’re searching for your way back home to yourself, your health, your truth, your inherent worthiness, your love. Everything you’re looking for- the relationships, the feelings, the experiences, the well-being- is actually the act of you discovering and reclaiming parts of yourself. You are looking for familiarity in your outside world because that is how you find yourself. Why? Because the truest resonance that you seek, that feeling of total alignment and joy- that is who you are.

...
Let’s keep things simple.
Let’s keep things true.
Let’s look for what 
feels good to us.
Let’s resist the urge to categorize things as the “perfect” diet/method/trend/supplement/etc.

Don’t give your power away.

Don’t believe in things outside of yourself over the truth that’s within you.
​I promise you, from one soul to another, it is YOU that is the perfect body/being/image.

​The thing is, it’s up to you to believe it.
