Access to Truth in Times of Lies - EP051

Women's Empowerment School

Spend just a few minutes scrolling social media or watching the news and you’ll be bombarded with multiple competing ideas, all advertised as truth. But how do you know if something is true or not?

What if you don’t need anyone else to tell you what’s true? What if you have, inside yourself, a lie detector you can activate at any given moment?

Today on Women’s Empowerment School, Sylvia is walking us through an exercise for accessing truth in times of lies. She explains why we must get out of fear in order to connect with our inner lie detector, describing how to shift from a state of stress and high-alert to one of groundedness and safety.

Sylvia goes on to discuss how our access to truth is not in the intellectual mind but in the body, helping us distinguish how it feels when we focus on something that is true versus an obvious lie. Listen in for insight into why people are more vulnerable to manipulation right now and learn how to activate your own access to truth when presented with contradictory theories.

Sylvia’s exercise for accessing your inner lie detector

1. Close your eyes, breathe and take your attention inward
2. Open your eyes and observe what’s in front of you
3. Look to the right, left, behind you, up and down
4. Focus on something you know is true and distinguish how it feels in your body
5. Focus on something that is obviously not true and feel how your body changes
6. Explore contradictory ideas and ask your body which one is true

Why it’s crucial to train yourself to be with uncomfortable feelings
