When we’re getting to know people, and even when relating with people we know well, it’s a natural tendency to project our subconscious beliefs onto them and the situation — that is, to make sense of what’s happening by referring to our previous life experience and making assumptions accordingly. It’s only by being in the moment, and noticing the feedback our regulated bodies give us, that we can interrupt our stories, fears and egos to really be with each other.

In today's episode, we talk about some of our past meaning-making in relationships, the evolution we've experienced so far, and the tools we've used to gain presence and clarity in every moment.

It’s easy to judge ourselves against others when it comes to how we keep our homes — why can’t I keep my place as clean as so-and-so, when we’re both equally busy? (Or vice versa.) We’re quick to find ourselves lacking and others superior (and vice versa.) The feelings and stories that comprise these judgments are wealth of information for self-discovery and a great opportunity to practice compassion, within and without.

In today's episode we explore the judgments we know you have, about yourself and others, exploring the causes and effects of the beliefs we carry and the choices that result.

Gentle use of pressure points can provide relief, comfort, and useful information about how you feel. Taking this time with yourself and the sensations in your body also helps you grow the pause — expanding your capacity to meet the moment, and be with the big feelings and overwhelm that happen in life and relationships.⁠

⁠

In today's episode we walk you through some points and body responses, and talk about how this type of self-connection enhances & deepens your everyday connection with others too.⁠

When crisis strikes and we’re startled or scared, it’s a very natural human response to forget everything we’ve learned to do in such scenarios, and to freeze instead. Then, in the aftermath, we can be so hard on ourselves — about how we ought to have acted, and how quickly we ought to “return to normal”. In today's episode we propose a compassionate approach instead, and taking your time to feel and integrate scary experiences.

Noticing moments of love and care when times are (or were) hard, is a powerful tool for expansion and self-soothing. With that aim, it’s a gift to ourselves to feel the sensations of loving care in the moment or in memory — to feel them in the body and hang out there for a spell. And it’s yet another gift to feel the sensations of simply knowing that love and care are/were available. In today's episode we share some personal examples and show you how you can find more love and good feelings, even through the hard stuff.

We’re mostly wired (aka conditioned or programmed) to retain, rehash and focus on the hard and painful aspects of life events, both past and present. What might happen if we paid some attention to the moments of loving care we encountered during these times? Putting focus here and feeling the sensations in your body can be a huge relief, and can transform your experiences in life and relationships. In today's episode we talk about bringing this into our own lives, and how you can too.

Rewiring our systems and rewriting our patterns takes conscious, compassionate attention, and this is one easy tool you can use. Whatever pattern you find yourself wanting to shift — painful rumination, being hard on yourself, unhealthy habits, etc. — try matching that time and energy with one simple countermeasure to grow more balance: one for one. In today's episode we walk you through some examples from our own lives, and how to do this for yourself.
