Truth tellers

Our bodies are truth tellers. 


Whether or not we're paying attention, they tell the truth, constantly - to ourselves, and to other people.  

Our words tumble out in a constant stream, sometimes sparkling with skillful clarity, but often clumsy, poorly aimed, or deliberately unclear. 

But the reality of our experience is lived and felt in our bodies, and traces itself across this fluent tableau of energy and movement, moment by moment. All of our truths, spoken and unspoken, are written there, subtly, in the fleeting language of our faces and gestures, and more revealingly in the vibrant, vital energy that surrounds and animates us. 

To have insight into the powerful untold stories that people carry about with them, or even to hear our own quiet, unadorned truths, we need to listen carefully, respectfully, compassionately. We need to look beyond the surface of things into the spacious reality that lies within each of us. By bringing this quality of intent and awareness to our attention, we share a gift that is both sacred and profoundly human: our understanding.
