#228 Protection SOS: Living Open & Strong
Tuesday Mar 02, 2021
Tuesday Mar 02, 2021
Do you feel like you have to protect yourself from life?
So many of us think that we are too sensitive to live open.
Judgments, hot emotions, intense energies, unkind words – all of it can feel like knives cutting you.
We feel raw and exposed so building walls around us seems like the only way to make it through unharmed.
But what if the protection was doing more harm than good? Like blocking you from caring deeply, taking risks, seeing clearly and responding to life in more expansive ways?
Tune in to this week’s episode to discover:
- Why protection doesn’t work
- Hidden causes of mental stress and body tension – and how to release it
- Exercise to discover your strengths of caring, sensitivity and awareness
- Releasing exercise to un-wind and re-connect
- Keys to unlocking your creative power and choice (no matter what is going on around you)
