Have you ever become so emotionally upset that your body has had a nasty reaction? Have you ever had a “gut reaction”? Has you your heart every “ached” with sadness? Do you ever get headaches as your tension rises at work? Does your face flush when you’re upset? How about your jaw or neck? Or ticks with your hands and feet? Some people will lean over aggressively or lean back to a noticeable extreme.
If so you are 100% human as your body recognizes when you are out of balance (in Personality) before you intellectually admit this to yourself. This happens to every person and if you don’t recognize any of the above in yourself, please increase your awareness as it is going on, sometimes right under your nose!
This idea of your body knowing is key not only to remind us to ReBalance to Center, but 70%+ of all communications is non verbal. What message are you sending 70% of the time?
These early warning signs tells us that we are already out of balance and it is time to return to Center. The idea would not be to try and suppress these physical expressions (i.e. suppress Personality) but to use them as a trigger to ReBalance to Center.
Can you tell what are the physical attributes you boss or partner shows when they are out of balance? Can you see your own patterns? Ask your partner if you don’t know, often they can give you immediate feedback.
When you are Centered there is a sense of being both grounded and vertical, like a strong tree with roots and towering branches. When off balance and in Personality many people are more horizontal in their body and energy. Obama is vertical, Hillary is more horizontal.
The Centered body is aligned and alive, inviting you to join the party.
Think about public figures or executives you know, are they vertical or horizontal in their energies. Where are you? What is your early warning sign?
