PART I: INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
- What is the third force and when resistance is a good thing
- How Molly discovered the third force in her performance fear
- We self-sabotage when only one force is used
- Active/Giving VS. Passive/Receiving
- Holding both at the same time brings about the third force
- Using self-observation and attention allows us to see our resistance
- Maintain sensations in your body – Tune into what the body is trying to tell you
- Letting go can be the catalyzing force we need for change
- Our ability to receive can be blocked by our attachment to thought
- Join us for an Experiential Exercise:
- Notice a sensation in your body
- Bring attention to it while maintaining the sensation in your lower body
- Stay with the sensation and experience it fully
- Notice the thoughts that are going by
- Notice any feelings that come up
- What is the message? Is there a unified thought?
- The thoughts will affect the emotions – and becomes a feedback loop
- Follow it and ride the wave
- The observer is the only one that can see the attachment
- Presence the shadow
- Acceptance for what is releases the energy you’ve tied up into it
- The objective observer and drama
- Presence your feelings internally without expressing them externally
- We’re rarely upset about the “thing” it’s because how we feel because of that “thing”
PART II: ACTION STEPS
- Use sensation in a way to intentionally bring awareness to a part of your body.
- Maintain that focus and see what messages come up.
