How can I be true to myself?

by Susan Robinson on October 3, 2011

To live an authentic life – to be true to yourself – begin by being a good listener to yourself.  Listen at many different levels. First and foremost, listen at an emotional level.  Take the time to identify specifically what you are feeling.

Where do you feel the emotion in your body?  What responses are you having as a result of these sensations going on inside you at a very physical level?

Being able to listen this way begins the process of checking in with ourselves, where most of us – when we feel discomfort – “check out.” We “check out” by trying to find answers outside ourselves.  And we “check out” by looking for ways to avoid and escape the sensations and feelings that are going on inside of us.

Maybe the feelings show up as a tightness or discomfort. It’s important to pay attention to what these sensations are trying to communicate. Emotions are powerful messengers.  They have physical manifestations, but there are other levels of information available if we slow down and pay attention.  The sensations guide us to look at within ourselves.

To be true to yourself – Check in instead of checking out.

Be willing to relax, so that the message behind the feeling can come to the surface. Access the message by releasing resistance at a very physical level – Take a deep breath. Let the exhale be a way of letting go of control. Take that breath deep inside the discomfort and allow the exhale to be a way of letting go of the tension, releasing struggle. When you let go of the struggle against the feeling, you’ve got access to more information. From a deeper level of awareness, you have access to understanding.

As we release resistance, we allow an aspect of ourselves – that’s been trying to communicate with us – to come to the surface, and be available to give us the insight and wisdom we need.

Five Minute Centering Meditation

Remember to breathe.
Just feel the movement of Life through your body.  Inhale and then Aaahh…Inhale…
Life Energy moving through the body as we connect as a community.
This is the coming together of community.  The joining of hands.
The coming into harmony with each other in the moment.
As we reach out to each other, we reach out to aspects of our Self.
We open our mind.  We open our heart.  To the beauty of this moment.
Everyone breathe deeply.  Inhale. And then Aaahh…
Let’s get past the illusion – the illusion of separateness.
Inhale. And then exhale.
Energy moving through the system.
Inhale. And then Aaahh…
Inhale.
Feel that connection of Life Energy, of Chi.
The environment responds to us as we relax – into the environment of love, of compassion, of unity.
Everyone Inhale.  And then exhale, Aaahh…
Feel Life moving all around you.  Celebrating Life.
The connection with each other – with deeper aspects of ourself.
Everyone breathe deeply.
Feel that movement of Life through your body, through your mind.  Inhale…Exhale.
Energy moving through the system.
Coming into your Center, into your Core. Pushing out.
Inhale.  Take a deep breath in, pulling that breath deep into your Center.
Feel the movement of Life, the movement of Chi.
Inhale…Exhale.
Connecting with your Center, as we create a good balance between our Self and the world around us.
Inhale…and then Exhale.
This is holding Center as the world goes round.
Holding Center as the world goes round.
Staying in our Center as the Earth spins. Staying in our Peace as the Earth spins.
Everyone Inhale, and then Exhale. Staying in our Center as the world turns around.
Now coming into your Center, take a deep breath.  Inhale. And then Aaahh…
Releasing all resistance, all struggle, all fear, all doubt, all worry. Just let it go.
Inhale.  And Exhale.
Now bring it into your Core, into your Center.
Take a deep breath. Inhale…And then Aaaahh…
Energy going in.
Inhale…
Exhale…
Reaching out, and let’s rise that Energy up…
and then bring it back down.
You’re going to feel the Energy moving through your body as you breathe.
Inhale.
And then let’s hear those Exhales.  Aaahhh…
Keep relaxing into it.
And then Aaahhh…
Keep releasing resistance.
Just relax.
Inhale…Exhale…
Coming into your Center, into your heart Center.
Take a deep breath and then Aaahhh…
Just relaxing into a quiet place inside yourself, inside your heart.
Take a deep breath in again. And then Aaahhh….
Beautiful.
