In this episode, Dean Newlund and Sandra discuss:

• The Release Technique
• Experiencing loss and finding clarity.
• Participating in oneness and the collective experiences of our life. Reconnecting with others and ourselves.
• Finding more space for awareness, time for reflection, and understanding what your triggers are.

Key Takeaways:

• The loss of control, loss of security, and loss of approval create tension within our lives.
• It’s important to remember a time in your life where you didn’t think it was going to be ok and remember things always work out one way or the other, even if it wasn’t the way you thought it would or wanted it to.
• Recognize that the physical body reflects the emotional body. Make sure you are listening to your body.
• Make a conscious decision whether to allow people to connect with you or not. Is it a good relationship for you?

“If you are alive at this moment you have indirectly signed up for this.”
