Office Hours Group Coaching Call, March 10th
1h 30m
John began this call with a breath that is meant to massage your nervous system and move you towards a parasympathetic state. As you inhale, imagine you are sucking your breath in through a straw, and as you exhale allow your jaw to open in wide relaxation. Envision your breath moving through your center column, allowing love to permeate deep into your system.
John then spoke briefly about how we are always evoking from others. The idea that our state of being (openness, closure, tension, relaxation) is always transmitting a frequency that impacts the environment around us. How do we affect the nervous sheets of others - how do we impact our environments? Can you begin to track it as a practice - particularly in your romantic relationships. This Does not in any way imply a need or goal of perfection.
He then spoke about how Claire brings out the best in people. Can you use this as a reflection and ask yourself, “do I bring out the best in those around me?” And if not, how can I change my frequency to evoke the best in others when they are in my presence.
