Body Movements and State of Being
Are you aware your body posture tells your inner story? How you hold yourself is a statement to the world. It is an open book to those who can read it.
Take a moment to consider your own posture world story:Notice your chest between your breasts.
- Is this area exposed and out facing the world (yang) or is this area sunken and protected from the world (yin)?
- Are your shoulders set back and wide (yang) or are they hunched forward and down (yin)?
Now notice your breathing while considering these two postures. As you breath in and out does your posture shift in these above mentioned areas or do you hold this posture locked into place?
Regardless of how you are holding your chest, shoulders and arms, begin to soften this area from it’s automatic holding pattern. Try the following for a short series of 4 or 5 breathing cycles:
Regardless of how you are holding your chest, shoulders and arms, begin to soften this area from it’s automatic holding pattern. Try the following for a short series of 4 or 5 breathing cycles:
- If you are yang – broad chested go into a yin position slowly with your next exhalation of breathe. With an inhalation go into your normal posture.
- If you are yin – sunken and protected chest, rise up and go into a yang position with your next inhalation. Return to your familiar posture on an exhalation.
Notice any changes your feel either physically, mentally or emotionally after a cycle of 4 or 5 breathes and continue for another 2 to 3 cycles of 4 to 5 breathes. Remember to alternate between the two postures. Stop to notice between cycles any differences you feel.This pattern of breathing releases your spine which settles your nervous system! Notice how this reduces your stress throughout the week if you continue to integrate these simple breathing exercises daily!
The possible yin/yang chest stories:
Yin – represents the moon, water and emotions – Too much without balance of Yang – introverted (Western culture labels it – being a victim)
Yang – represents the sun, dessert and action – Too much without yin – extroverted (Western culture labels it – aggressive)

BUSINESS LEADERSHIP ON “RELATIONSHIPS FOR SUCCEEDING”
TIP OF THE WEEK:
Last week and tip #1 was about learning to read others:
- Practice of observing the posture in others and their tone of voice as they speak. Consider the state of their emotions and the story they are telling themselves.
This weeks tip #2:
- Now notice how the body and spoken language of others affect you. Begin to explore how they influence your thoughts in either a negative or positive way. Notice if your reaction is to stay open with understanding or do you close off and dismiss their contribution? What is your body language?
This week notice your body language, comfort level and thoughts that arise with your employees, peers and clients. Ask yourself, “How am I being influenced by ………..?
- Observe your tone of voice, body stance (soft and comfortable or rigid and controlled)
All skilled, influence-empowered people harness their own behavior first.

Complaining
The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely the one who dropped it.

Compassion ~ Value of the Week
Life Area ~ Nurturing
Compassion in this context is connection with oneself and others without any motivation of violence in ones felt experience. It is the spontaneous field that arises as an outcome of equal contribution and valuing in giving and receiving in connection. Compassion for this purpose isn’t referring to a belief system, rather an experience as a result of giving with an attitude of inter-dependency.
