The twenty-second Virtual Workshop "Office Hours" group coaching call with John.

You'll learn:

- a breath practice John learned from his teacher Cass Phelps to relax and connect more deeply to your body
- this work is about merging your sacred innate masculine capacity (awareness, integrity, stillness, and consciousness) and your sacred feminine capacity (feeling, sensitivity, and expression); everything in nature is a sacred union of both
- more you put your awareness on the energy moving within you, this creates a profound capacity for sexual experience, creativity, emotional expression, etc.
- even in a polarized moment, you still hold 20% or so of your innate masculine or feminine, in order to hold your own capacity to impact the experience
- your primary relationship needs to be with your own heart
- how you can honor the deeper feelings that want to move through you, especially grief
- how you can create a container for practice to identify, honor, feel, and move from your own deep needs
- how being with your own deep needs is self-love
- why you can't wait for anyone else to direct or guide you before you've been with your own needs deeply
- the longer you practice, the more stuff comes up; it's very normal
- the deepest warrior practice might be to face the feeling you're most afraid to feel fully
- find your needs, bring your awareness to your sensation, move with your sensation, and then take time to blast love out to the world
- feeling fully and then blasting out love is how we can break the karmic ties to our wounds
- the question you can ask yourself when stepping into a relationship is, "Does this person want to meet the most important needs in my heart?"
- oftentimes, relationship dysfunction is because we're not meeting or acknowledging each other's needs
- we have to be clear about our needs within ourselves first because we're likely not acknowledging our own needs in relationship
- a guided practice to hold and love yourself by honoring the truth of your own needs
- others' needs can be argued; your needs can't be argued
- the deep layers of David Deida's Second Stage work is about need acknowledgement
- if you try to jump to Goddess and Warrior practice without need acknowledgement, it's the essence of spiritual bypass
- how you can acknowledge and honor your partner's needs without denying your own needs
- your heart/your needs honoring their heart/their needs - that's loving each other
- once you go into your heads and into the future, you stop loving each other
- the part of you that stays in a relationship that doesn't meet your needs is the part of you that resists meeting your own needs
- the relationships that truly thrive are the ones in which both partner's needs are being met; then there's a foundation of deep healing and trust in the resonance of needs being met where true art can emerge
