Regaining Center

• Monday, June 22nd, 2009

As we practice centering on a regular basis, we might contemplate being centered all the time. If we work to be centered all the time, we will be, except when we are not! (Even the masters lose center; they just regain it far more quickly!)

So how do we regain center? The same way we got there the first time:

Pause the action. Focus on your breath. Locate your center along length (your full height), width, (open through your sides), and depth (your front and back.) Placing one hand just below your navel can help. Drop your breath and your awareness, and let go of muscular holding and tension.

How many times you can regain center today?

What Does Being Centered Feel Like?

• Monday, June 15th, 2009
A client asked this yesterday. What a great question! What does it feel like for you?
Where are the places for you to put your attention in order to accentuate this feeling of being centered?
 
Leading from center, we have more breath, more choice, more freedom.

Take just a moment to access your center, and notice the sensations that you feel. Now sink your attention even more deeply, and see what emerges. Let yourself linger in this awareness.

Leading from Center

• Monday, June 08th, 2009
Leading from center, we have more breath, more choice, more freedom.
 
What practice best helps you find your center?
 
Leading from center involves both the capacity to access the physiological sense of calm that comes when we drop our awareness and our breath, and the energy and focus generated from living inside a positive story about ourselves, our work, and our world.
Once you access center, what thoughts best help you stay there?

Who is Driving?

• Friday, April 10th, 2009

If you felt 100% in the driver’s seat of your own life and career, what would you do differently today?

Sometimes we forget the degree of choices we really have, and let our focus shift to those things we believe we cannot control. In these moments, shifting our focus to the choices we do have is a leadership move.

What choices have you overlooked?
