Summary
Short as hell podcast today. It’s still weird and not normal, huh? Noticing what things feel like in your body? Did you know that things feel different in your body? When you’re deciding on going to this coffee shop or that beach, each consideration creates a different sensation profile—and by tuning into it you can tap into an intuition about what creates the Greater Good. I know that the things that expand and are best for you have to be the best thing for the rest of us, too—even if we don’t like it at the time. It cannot be good for me if it is also bad for you. It cannot be good for you if it is also bad for me. By tapping into the sensations associated with various decisions, in our bodies/your body, we can tell if we should really come up with a third option, or a fifth, until something resonates at both our frequencies. Maybe it will take a little bit more time, and maybe it will save us a lot of regret (and time). The part that makes this all easy, if you adopt it? Wanting others to do what is actually best for them, in spite of how it may make me (or you) feel. It is an incredible relief for me personally when someone is outright honest with me and I can tell by the tone of their voice that their body would agree with them. They are operating at a level of coherence that most of us are deathly afraid to approach. That’s the community I wish to have and be a part of. That’s the community I enjoy. The community whose “yes” and “no” I can trust. I want to ask you how you’re feeling and you drop into what your body is telling you in reply. That’s valuable. That’s more certain. And it’s for damn sure a thing that brings you into the present. I know, I know, I was writing a book about doing a meditation practice that can help with this. But I haven’t written in it for weeks. Just try it now — how (or what) are you feeling? Sensations-images-emotions-what those emotions feel like in your body- Drop it in the comments so I can know you’re somebody I could check in with like this in the future. To prove I care about creating spaces to learn this sort of thing, expand together, and know better about our own communication skills, I’m doing the first of three Listening courses this year. Listen Up 2 is where we gather for 4 sessions, weekly from Saturday April 13 - May 4, and journal, speak, and listen up to one another. It’s scheduled for 7pm EST/4pm PST each week so you can soak in the teachings before Monday’s fresh start. Lemme ask you - how different would your life be if people really listened to you? And what if you could do that better for other people? That’s what we’re going to learn and experience together. Discounted registration (only 8 spots) until March 24 - my birthday *ahem* FYI. $120 for 4 sessions together is a steal. $200 if you and a friend sign up together.
Episode Description
Short as hell podcast today.
It’s still weird and not normal, huh?
Noticing what things feel like in your body?
Did you know that things feel different in your body?
When you’re deciding on going to this coffee shop or that beach, each consideration creates a different sensation profile—and by tuning into it you can tap into an intuition about what creates the Greater Good.
I know that the things that expand and are best for you have to be the best thing for the rest of us, too—even if we don’t like it at the time.
It cannot be good for me if it is also bad for you. It cannot be good for you if it is also bad for me.
By tapping into the sensations associated with various decisions, in our bodies/your body, we can tell if we should really come up with a third option, or a fifth, until something resonates at both our frequencies. Maybe it will take a little bit more time, and maybe it will save us a lot of regret (and time).
The part that makes this all easy, if you adopt it?
Wanting others to do what is actually best for them, in spite of how it may make me (or you) feel. It is an incredible relief for me personally when someone is outright honest with me and I can tell by the tone of their voice that their body would agree with them. They are operating at a level of coherence that most of us are deathly afraid to approach.
That’s the community I wish to have and be a part of. That’s the community I enjoy. The community whose “yes” and “no” I can trust.
I want to ask you how you’re feeling and you drop into what your body is telling you in reply.
That’s valuable.
That’s more certain.
And it’s for damn sure a thing that brings you into the present. I know, I know, I was writing a book about doing a meditation practice that can help with this. But I haven’t written in it for weeks.
Just try it now — how (or what) are you feeling?
