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?

[Michael]

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

[Michael]

Right on, Alex. Thank you!

[Michael]

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

[Michael]

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.

[Michael]

Wonderful observation, Becka. Thank you sharing.

[Michael]

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. You noticing what your physical eyes are seeing and what your mind’s eye is “seeing.” Bring a deeper meaning to the old saying, “there more than meets the eye.”

That’s great! When you dropped into that trance state, you shifted out of beta brain and into Alpha. That’s exactly what happens. Eventually, Alpha will become more functional. Depending on the state of your nervous system going into the exercise, make that shift may be more or less difficult. Some internal self-talk can really help when you mind won’t let go of its attention on your brain’s natural tendency to scan the environment.

[Michael]

It’s true, that the deeper you go into these awareness states, the more you need to breathe through your past conditioning. That opens the door for developing an ever expanding practice of nature awareness, and there is no end to that.

[Michael]

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

[Michael]

Thanks for sharing, Alex!

[Michael]

Thanks Tracey!

[Michael]

So glad you are committed to daily practice!
