Live in Truth {Satya}
There’s something about February that asks us to slow down and listen—beneath the noise, beneath the expectations, beneath the stories we’ve carried for far too long. As winter lingers and the world holds its quiet, soft pause, we’re invited inward toward honesty, clarity, and the gentle light of our own hearts.
This month at Nourishing Storm, our theme is Live in Truth, guided by the Yama Satya, the practice of truthfulness. Not truth as a rigid concept or something sharp enough to cut, but truth as a homecoming. Truth that feels warm, embodied, and real. Truth that arises when we stop performing, stop pushing, and simply allow ourselves to be who we already are.
Satya invites us to show up authentically—to speak with kindness, move with integrity, and make choices that reflect what’s true inside rather than what we think we should be. In this way, truth becomes an act of alignment rather than obligation.
Questions often lead the way:
Does this feel true for me?
Does this choice honor what I know in my heart?
Is this the life I intend to live?
To support this exploration, our February crystal is Amazonite, the stone of loving truth and clear communication. Amazonite carries the soothing, steady energy of flowing water—a reminder that truth doesn’t need to be forced; it can be gentle. It can move through us softly and still be powerful. It guides us toward conversations, boundaries, and decisions that reflect our inner clarity.
Hold Amazonite close this month as a reminder to:
✨ speak honestly and kindly
✨ honor your emotions without judgment
✨ trust your inner voice
✨ release the stories that no longer serve you
✨ approach truth with tenderness—for yourself and others
As February unfolds, may you feel invited to live a little closer to your own truth. Allow your words, your actions, and your presence to be guided by what feels sincere and aligned. Let Amazonite sit on your altar or rest in your hand as a quiet affirmation:
Your truth is a light—steady, compassionate, and entirely your own.
May this month bring clarity, courage, and the soft unveiling of your truest self.
