Class 1-4 “Got Breath?”

November 10, 2008 at 8:54 pm · Filed under Uncategorized and tagged: EFT, Class, Progressive Relaxation, Breath, Core Values

This past Sunday provided us a wonderful opportunity to review Progressive Relaxation and to discuss measurable core values.  We discussed the fact that aligning with our core values contributes to living a more loving life.

(Go all the way to the bottom to see the secret contest!)

Breathing was a key focus for us this week.  Discovering that we can change our state by focusing on breathing provides us with another tool to “plug the leaks” in our lives, which drain our energy and impacts the quality of our relationship with others.

We demonstrated the impact of breathing on emotional state using components of a biofeedback software program called HeartMath(tm).  Using this tool one can actually see visually the changes that are occurring within their nervous system as they focus on breathing patterns.

Next week we will be looking at our mental state and introduce meditation techniques as additional tools to utilize in adjusting our physical, emotional, and mental states.   As we strive to live a more loving life and relate to others in a way that we have been ‘advised’, we recognize that awareness of our own state is crucial to this process.

The worksheet for our 4th week class is now posted on   http://the-love-project.com/Class_1-4.html

Congratulations to Susan Combs our winner of last weeks blog challenge.  Susan received a free 15 minute seated massage from Blue Ridge Therapeutic Massage. 

This Sunday will be the last of our first 5 week sessions.  We will have prepared an evaluation tool for you to complete to provide feedback as to how we can improve the structure of our sessions in preparation for our next 5 weeks together. 

We would like to get together December 7 for ”Coffee and Conversation” in order to touch base and see how the skills you have learned are making a difference for you.  Please plan to join us at 9:00 am, come hungry as there will be a delicious breakfast casserole awaiting  you as well!

Thanks to each of you for making this experience possible.  Your participation and input has been a joy to us, we hope the experience has been a blessing to you.

See you Sunday!

Heartfully,

Sharon and Karl
