Right speech and honesty

Right speech and honesty inspire others and enhance our own energy systems. Conversely, we lose substantial amounts of power through the careless use of our will, especially when we act in the thrall of misperceptions and unfair judgments.

You can sense the energy of a negative and costly judgment because instantaneously you feel that you have made a mistake. Your energy flows from your system like fluid draining out of a broken glass. This drain also occurs when you make negative judgments about yourself and your own behavior. And any defensiveness about your misjudgments of others increases your energy loss.

Dishonesty, a shadow aspect of the fifth chakra, creates more energetic exhaustion because you have to “protect the lie” you’ve created. Such negative mental attitudes trigger an adrenaline reaction in the physical body and frequently result in chronic exhaustion, depression, and low self-esteem.
