Global Healing Response: Honesty
As we enter a new quarter of the year, Global Healing Response turns its attention to the theme of honesty. In this episode, we explore the often subtle connections between honesty and authenticity, and see how these may play out in political and organisational leadership, as well as within our own lives. We see that even those of us who believe we live honestly may be deceiving ourselves, as we reflect upon the subtle ways dishonesty can infiltrate, often without our conscious awareness. We offer practical tips on cultivating self-awareness to ensure that what we say and do always stays in alignment with our core values, and as always, look at where we might hone in with our intentions and prayers.
Suggested Intention Focus for this week
This week, as we consider the importance of remaining honest, both for ourselves and for others, we suggest holding as our main intention:
We will that there will be a widespread shift in the collective consciousness toward honouring honesty in political leadership and in all areas of life.
Please join us in holding this.
Intentions and prayers start at 29 minutes 50 seconds.
