Rise 2 Realize Podcast

In this episode, I’m sharing a guided meditation to help you Ease Pain using Breathwork called, 3 by 3.

Over the last 15 years, I watched hundreds of my clients reduce the intensity of their pain and stay calm and relaxed by using this breath technique.

Some of them even felt a sense of power and control over their body.

I hope you can achieve similar results.

In this episode, Arda, Elizabeth, Beth and Jon explore the process of forgiveness and how it affects our emotional and mental well-being.

They discuss what forgiveness really means. According to The Art of Becoming Unstuck, page 225, forgiveness is defined as "releasing of others from their responsibility to act in a certain way according to our expectations, beliefs or value systems." In a way, this release brings acceptance which offsets the judgment we hold against others.

They also explore the factors that help us or prevent us from forgiving others, as they discover that forgiveness is a process that benefits the person who forgives more than the person who is forgiven.

And finally, they share the essential communication strategies, especially I-Feel statements and Open Ended Curious Questions, to foster the process of forgiveness, and facilitate a deeper connection between the forgiver and the forgiven.

In this video, Elizabeth, Beth, Jon and Arda discuss powerful tips for you to have a stress-free holiday this year.

They covered:

1. How to navigate difficult people and situations in holiday gatherings

2. What our favorite "go to" communication strategy is to handle difficult conversations and arguments

3. Which one is a better strategy, “I feel” statements or Aikido (leveling) or Open-ended questions?

4. How do you bring curiosity when interacting with your family members that you already know?

5. How to set and keep your self-boundaries (tip: through grounding :) so that you don't exhaust yourself after spending so much time with family?

Enjoy!

Do you live a conscious life? Do you make your own decisions?

After all, what is consciousness?

Well, it’s a state where you are awake and also aware of your surroundings.

Wait a second! Who lives like that – 24/7 – awake and aware?
