How Many Lies Do You Hold? (Trigger Alarm)

HELLO BEAUTIFUL!
“I’m craving for more aliveness in my life.”
It’s crazy, no matter how unique each of my client’s story is, no matter which unique longing it was that led them into my intuitive space, no matter what kind of main challenge they’re facing, the vast majority of them are familiar to that painful longing for more aliveness in their lives.
And You?
When you long for aliveness, what feeling do you long for? What experiences do you envision? What kind of lived relationships? What way of self-expression?
What makes YOU feel alive?
I can’t exclude myself from that “vast majority” I’m talking about. When I pray for the general qualities I’d love to manifest in my everyday life, aliveness is ALWAYS one of them.
Why?
What is aliveness?
Can’t we suggest we’re already alive?
Well, my truth is: not entirely, not everyone. We exist, we live, we survive, we do what is expected of us, we try our best to fit in, we plan in time for love, laugh and fun here and there.
But do we truly and presently experience our life’s creation through every cell of our body, do we let it touch, shake and transform us?
To me, aliveness automatically happens when I choose to be guided intuitively, to take more soul-led than rationality-led decisions, to look for spaces that allow me to feel more and KNOW (=understand) less.
So, when that longing for aliveness creeps in, I take it very seriously. I hold on, I breathe and listen.
THE CRAVING FOR ALIVENESS IS A MESSAGE FROM YOUR SOUL. Nothing takes away our aliveness as much as the LIES that we hold inside. Mentally, energetically, physically.
So, if you’re wondering why you’re truly missing aliveness in your life experience, why you feel numb, empty or barely there in some moments. Why you still seem to fight spontaneity, flexibility, blind trusting, falling deeply and anything unpredictable in your life, then I'd like to ask you:
WHICH LIE HAVE YOU TRADED FOR YOUR ALIVENESS?
Which lie are you giving all your energy into, so that you can keep the illusion of its truth alive?
And no, I'm not talking about the “small” lies, the little daily self-sabotages of "I’m going to eat less sugar from tomorrow on."
I’m talking about the big ones, those that, if you accepted them as lies, they would SHAKE YOUR WHOLE LIFE ENORMOUSLY. Those lies that, if you unmasked them and if you felt the pain underneath them, they would never leave your life as it used to be.
Here are some examples of potentially ALIVENESS KILLING LIES I’m seeing activated quite often:
TRIGGER ALARM: WHICH ONE TRIGGERS YOU MOST?;)
“My love relationship is good. This kind of monotony is normal after some time.”
"My realtionship is so good, I could never feel pulled towards someone else."
“I cannot follow my longings because there are people depending on me.”
"I'd rather choose safety over fulfillment."
“I can’t quit because this company/my team/my boss needs me.”
“I don’t need money, I’m okay with the bare minimum.”
“I don’t need anyone, I'm happy by my own.”
“Noone sees/understands me anyways.”
“I have nothing more to learn, I'm “done” with healing.”
“I cannot heal fully and be happy unless he/she does.”
“No, I'd never try to change them. I’m really ok with them being like that."
“I’m over this.”
“This has nothing to do with me.”
So I'm asking you again : Which one triggers you most?;)
(Just to be clear here: Those statement don't always HAVE to be lies. Of course not. They can speak from a pure place of truth. But they can and they have a high potential to be lies, because they tackle uncomfortable topics and codes of our society, that most of us secretely fear to truly look into. So they might be something we're convinced of while we're actually trying to convince ourselves of something we're not, avoiding REAL TRUTH within.
AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?
You definetely know you're feeding a lie within..:
...If you have to insist and underline everywhere, that you really ARE (NOT) this or that. If it was inherently true, you wouldn't have to repeatedly say it, you'd be it.
...If you're strongly triggered by people who are what you claim not to be. Having to judge others always come from a place of fear to face yourself.
...If you're reading the statement(s) without feeling anything. It speaks of self-avoidance. Avoiding to let your intuitive speak loud and clear.
...If your body reacts, your breath changes, you tense up, you surpress anger or pain while reading the statement(s). When the body speaks (s)he never lies. S(he) is immediate, direct and pure.
...If you immediately think ”This statement has nothing to do with me”. This might actually be a main theme for your life...you're welcome;)
If the statement is simply truth to you, you will just be able to let the energy of the sentence flow through you, touch you, you will be able to feel it's touch without having to judge or justify anything.
So what would this mean to our world if we chose aliveness? It means truth.
It means deep feeling with less judgement and more compassion.
ALIVENESS IS A LIFE CREATION POWERED BY YOUR MOST TRUTHFUL BEING
LIES are not easy to detect and not to accept. We do a lot in order to fight seeing and accepting them. For self-protection. To warding off the worst, the true shaking, transformation, falling, the REAL CONSEQUENCES it would mean to our lives, if we accepted them as lies and started living our truth.
Some phases in life you’re better off with holding onto your lies. For safety, for stability, for the possibility to "hold yourself together". Honor yourself.
In other phases, especially when inner frustration, dissatisfaction, tensions seem to knock louder and louder, it might be the right time to face the lies that fuel them. To make peace with the fact that you’ve been untruthful with yourself. And to start facing the inevitable change. Bit by bit.
Your level of aliveness comes with the level of truth you’re living.
I wish for your aliveness.
Aliveness is a gift your’re giving the human you are, by trusting the soul that you are more than your inner demons and fears. Aliveness happens when you learn how to surf the waves of not-knowing, of destroying and rebuilding, of letting go.
I wish for you aliveness, that remains.
Not just an eventful mood, but a ressource carrying you through your life creation, celebrating your truth, your pureness and your humanness, making this embodied experience an unforgettable, unregrettable story of yours.
Are you ready for aliveness?
