You and your partner may have a basic understanding of identifying, expressing, and attending to your hearts’ needs, but would like to go much deeper.

In this video, from the November 3, 2020 Community Support call, John states that honoring your needs is the most important relational skill people can use today. This can be done most effectively through the body, by grounding them into the root of your own heart. John offers two practices for doing just this and also answers questions to help guide specific ways to work with this in relationship.

If you want to deepen your relationship by owning and attending to your needs more fully, this 83-minute video will offer a solid foundation.

You'll learn:

- the importance of owning what you need in your relationship, including what is non-negotiable
- the importance of attending to your own needs in relationship and then deciding what to do from there
- a practice for being with your own needs, through your body and the root of your heart
- a practice for being with the needs of your partner while honoring your own needs
- the importance of opening your body, deepening your breath and elevating your brain chemistry in order to shift habitual thoughts and behaviors
- we are responsible for the quality of our energy
- if you have more structure in your life than your partner, you will be holding the masculine pole
- if you are the feminine partner in a relationship dynamic, and you are more "together" than your masculine partner, that will impact the dynamic; if you wish to hold the feminine pole in intimacy, you have to offer a place where your masculine partner can lead you - i.e. in the realm of love
- a practice of asking, "What are you devotional to?" in order to identify what you are seeking in relationship
- how you can evoke the masculine from your partner
- how you can honor the feminine in your masculine partner
- how you can celebrate your feminine
- why it is so important that you do the work with your childhood wounds, beliefs and thoughts outside the dynamic of your relationship
