One of the most efficient ways turning off our life-force and Eros is to hold back what we want to say. In the last few days, I've felt like I've been stuck in mud, or rather quick-sand, or to be more precise, like cement drying up, enclosing me. I had a session with my teacher tonight, thank goodness, and she had me speak up to her, all the things I'm holding back, as a practice round. I've gotten better at it, but especially when I perceive the stakes are high, my throat seizes up. And then our life-force seizes up. So with her, I was able to spill out my unspoken words, and while I'm still in a bit of a freeze-stage, it was so empowering. My inquiry partner in Seattle has taught me to ask this question: What are you not telling me? It's so simple, and yet so powerful. In the coming weeks, I'll be speaking up a lot - and btw, I am going to be speaking at an event about reclaiming our voices hosted by Tabby Biddle, who's also a dear friend from LA, August 27. More about that soon, but it's a great way to practice this yourself. And to keep asking yourself - and the people around you, maybe even your team or work colleagues: What are you not telling them?
