What Really Matters...
When we are able to take that precious pause, breathe in, connect with self, and become fully grounded in the present moment, we can find enough safety and holding to open our hearts, and to access our own "receptive energy." Once receptive, we find that we are simply "there," for self and other, as we are neither

To My Community, Colleagues, Students and Friends,
I've been reviewing the importance of Receptive Energy and summed it all up in my new blog,
"
The Miracle of Receptive Energy, the Power of Pausing, Acceptance, and the Breath." I am hoping to share what I believe is vital to experiencing a fulfilling sense of self as well as other. These are the components we need to work with, to manage and embrace our reactivity, rather than just act out our reactivity - there are options and they are doable.

The Miracle of Receptivity - The Power of Pausing, Acceptance, and the Breath
.
BLOG OVERVIEW:
Building a
Receptive, Accepting Relationship with Self Requires a Few, Key Steps
...
These days, we are all so active and fast-paced. It's a hectic, modern world. Our children are "glued" to their video games and tweeting. They have a lot of homework and a lot of tasks to accomplish. Adults move endlessly from task to task, attempting to get more, or at least enough, accomplished in a day.
There are three fundamental energies we humans rely on, and boy, we need all three of these energies to really thrive in this world. But I have to say, the most neglected of these three energies in our particular society is the one known as "Receptive Energy." Here is a brief definition of each:
- Active or Yang Energy flows outward into assertive and decisive action that is unrestricted and expansive. This energy is over-valued in achievement-oriented, success-oriented cultures. When contracted, this energy can get expressed externally as unrestrained, not unrestricted action and aggression.
- Receptive or Yin Energy flows inwardly as openness and receptivity and outwardly as flexibility and adaptability. It can also show up as stillness, even readiness, for action. When contracted, this aspect can lead to inertia and withdrawal.
- Balancing or Yin-Yang Energy represents a reconciling energy, harmonizing both active and receptive forces. It manifests as a continuous adjustment that we make to the ever-changing circumstances wherein reaction occurs if either receptive or active energy seems to dominate. When contracted, this energy collapses into a narrow and amplified rigidity.
Both Balancing and Active Energies depend upon Receptive Energy. Furthermore, Receptive Energy also provides the time and space for the Balancing Energy to fully operate

The Enneagram and Relationships with David Daniels and Peter O'Hanrahan
In this one-hour webinar, David Daniels, MD and Peter O'Hanrahan discuss the value of the Enneagram in relationships. Extraordinarily precise, the Enneagram allows you to look deeply within yourself and to create healthier relationships with your partner, family members, friends, clients and co-workers. The insights gained through an understanding of the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition quickly turn to compassion when you become receptive and can see through the eyes of another. Through an appreciation of each other's worldview, the Enneagram helps us to be more present and openhearted, and gives us tools to work together through conflicts. Video also includes Q&A from listeners.
