Foundational Skills
Lesson Overview
How we express ourselves profoundly shapes our interactions and experiences. Our expressions reflect the impressions we receive and communicate our inner states to the world around us. By becoming more mindful of our body language, posture, and facial expressions, we can foster alignment between how we feel and how we present ourselves. This dynamic awareness allows us to engage with others more authentically and meaningfully.
Guided Meditation
Building on the exploration of impressions, this meditation focuses on the ways we project and express our inner energy. Participants are invited to observe their body's posture and movements, experimenting with subtle shifts to explore how these adjustments influence both their internal states and the energy they convey outwardly. This practice reveals the strong connection between receiving impressions and expressing oneself authentically, empowering participants to approach their emotions and intentions with clarity and purpose.
