Thanks for sharing! Open Vision is hard…at first. The more you practice the less your brain needs to work at it. Also, next time you practice surround sound, notice how you will automatically activate Open Vision. 🤔

I hear you about the word “trigger”. but maybe it can have a postive side too?

I’d love to know about those goals, Diane!

Right on, Alex. Thank you!

Ahh, so nice to hear that you’re dropping into the experience of being within Nature!

The more you understand the power in these awareness exercises the easier it will be for you to introduce them to your clients when they need them.

Great observation. 360 listening starts to open up what we call Deep Listening. Where “listening” becomes more than just hearing sounds and words.

Wonderful observation, Becka. Thank you sharing.

Also, allowing your “mind’s eye” to be active during these awareness exercises is next level: noticing the how your brain will form images to interpret sounds that you cannot see, and when that happens you are, in a sense, seeing 360.

Right on! I’m really glad to hear how this is integrating.

Thanks for sharing, Alex!

Thanks Tracey!

So glad you are committed to daily practice!

Thanks for sharing, Ruth! I love that you are part of the Tracker lineage! I think I remember you mentioning that to me.

Nice! That’s good tracking and regulating, Herb. Those discernments are very much connected to the Native Scout awareness and leadership we talk about in the intro course!

When your eyes are closed, allow your “mind’s eye” to be active…see what you hear…Allow for those images to be part of the information you use to determine if you’re in a safe place. You may need to both visually confirm (go and physically look) and breathe through your limbic responses to learn what is really an accurate warming and what is…

Work your way into having your eyes open. Start with a short amount of time – back and forth between open and closed while holding the surround sound
