A very important part of our boundary system is being able to say “no” to things we don’t want.
The other, equally important, aspect of this is being able to say “yes” to things we do want.
Are there places in your life where you long to receive an offer or a gift, to enter an experience, to share something with someone - but instead find yourself saying no?
(And then, perhaps, you end up feeling some sense of incoherence or dissonance within yourself?)
Where do you find it difficult to say yes?
Expressing our yes in the world is to be able to consciously open ourselves, soften our habitual defences, and allow something in. Or, perhaps, to allow ourselves out enough to touch something.
It happens somatically - we feel our true yes as it arises in our body (if we listen close enough), and we then we feel in our body when we express that true yes, and when we don’t express it.
As we listen, we might feel our inner body adjust itself in that choice to meet what we want in the world.
In this 75 min session we’ll explore our ability to express our yes:
How does it feel somatically when we don’t express our true yes and instead say no?
How does it feel when we do express our true yes?
What are the places and circumstances in our lives where we find it hard to express our yes?
We’ll do two practices in dyads or triads - finding our inner somatic markers around our “yes boundary”, and then using some curiosity to gently identify and explore the places in our life where we struggle to express our true yes.
Developing our capacity to express our yes can bring us closer into alignment with our potential, and in this alignment we can get to feel and flow with more generosity, joy, and expansion in the world.
I hope you can join us.
