OM…Let’s Be Real

Opening Thoughts✨

We so often think of honesty as “making sure nothing we say is a lie.” But what if it’s actually a practice of alignment, between what we think, feel and how we show up?

The Yamas - 5 Gatways to Moral Disciplines

Satya: Truthfulness with Integrity

In yogic philosophy, the Yamas act as our foundational ethical guardrails. This week we dive into the second one: Satya.

Satya means “to see and speak what is”, not what we wish it was. It’s deeper than honesty: it’s living with clarity and courage, guided by integrity and shielded by compassion.

🧘🏽‍♀️Key Practices of Satya:

• Think before you speak, pause and honor alignment

• Speak with kindness (Ahimsa + Satya go hand in hand)

• Act in truth, even when it ask you to stand in discomfort

When we speak truth with care, and receive truth with openness, we cultivate deeper trust: with ourselves, others, and the world.

Satya in Practice - Truth Without Harm

In Satya: A Practice of Truthfulness, Irene Petryszak beautifully unpacks what it means to live in truth, not just tell it.

She reminds us that Satya isn’t about speaking “your truth” as a mic drop or a hard line. It’s about living in harmony with truth, while also holding space for compassion and care. In fact, Satya is so closely connected to Ahimsa (non-harming) that they should never be practiced separately. Truth should never be used as a weapon.

The article explores how:

Satya is a daily, embodied practice, not a one-time confession.
Being truthful means being authentic with yourself first, and acknowledging when you’re out of alignment
We must learn to balance honesty with gentleness, especially when facing hard conversations or painful realizations
And that truth isn’t always about words, sometimes its about actions that speak for you

You’ll walk away from this article with a deeper appreciation for truth as a spiritual path, not just a principle. Satya invites us into integrity, into self-inquiry, and into clarity without cruelty.
