Truth MEDS Coloring Card (Free Download)

Start your focus on getting more Truth into your life with this free downloadable coloring card.

WHY TRUTH IS IMPORTANT:

Having more truth in your life will set you free to live your truth fully.  We lose truth when we are dishonest with ourself and others.  Sometimes, it’s hard to find truth because we have lived dishonest for so long, and life becomes the lie.  When we reconnect with truth, we feel free to express our true selves and detach from the old way of lying.  We are free to speak the truth in each circumstance. 

HOW COLORING CAN HELP:

Coloring intentional words helps you to engage with the present by noticing and focusing on the quality you want to bring into your life.  While doing this, the mind will wander, but it should always be brought back to the object of focus without judging or being distracted by the content of those wandering thoughts. While moving your crayon, pen, or colored pencil through the intricate shapes on the page, your mind is focusing, often to the exclusion of unpleasant thoughts and the feelings which accompany them.

Coloring calms activity in the amygdala, a part of the brain that handles the “fight or flight” response. This response is a condition in which the body is in a heightened  state of panic and hyper-vigilance—it’s your brain trying to help you fight against something dangerous or, alternatively, to help you flee from it.  This can lead to inflammation—a state in which the body has been overstimulated by stress hormones, and is harming and exhausting itself. You may already know that inflammation is the root of many disorders, including asthma, high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s, and arthritis, and is a silent killer.  Coloring disarms the amygdala, which, in turn, calms our bodies and brains.
