The Truth of Things

“Sometimes you just need to talk about something, not to get sympathy or help, but just to kill its power by allowing the truth of things to hit the air.”
- Karen Salmansohn

The power of expression...

Especially when it comes to healing, communicating what is bothering you, whether to yourself, another person, or even just writing the words down in a journal, allows the emotions that are tied there to move out of yourself, thus losing its power and impact and preventing it from festering inside of you.

There’s the saying, “the truth will set you free.”

It’s not just acknowledging the truth but the actual act of speaking that truth that creates a lightness within yourself because you’re no longer holding it in.

There is freedom in expression.

Try it. What have you been holding onto? Do you feel the power within yourself as you speak the words out loud? Can you taste the words as they leave your lips, the freedom that it grants you in liberating the attachment to those words and their experience? Can you feel the words lingering on the air, their hold over you dissolving by the second until they become nothing?

This is healing.
