So I've been in long relationships

intimate relationship and having a partner so you described that part of your body twisting but it could be your partner twisting it could be your partner contracting as a reflection of you being off and it's harder to bypass your partner's

complaints your partner's contractions and so i would say that the wisdom of my intimate partners just in their natural reflection and depth and love has probably informed me one of the most and then together with that i would say working with a teacher and you know i've worked with just a few teachers long-term teachers i don't mean just a learning guitar or something i mean so

long-term teachers usually could reflect to me areas that I can't see myself or that I'm not willing to and lovingly continue reflecting that to me until I pick it up.

So I would say that my relationship with

you know, a loved one, an intimate partner, and a relationship with a teacher, more than a specific technique.

Although, you know, as I said, you know, I've done a lot of things like hatha yoga and tai chi and qigong, and moving energy through my body, you can also feel those contractions as you can.

So, feeling that contraction in the front of the body, learning how to open that, feeling what's forming that,

But for me, the love, my partner's love and my teacher's love would probably be the most effective ways that I... I know what you mean, using the word effective.

Yes, those would be the modalities.

Well, you seem authentically and genuinely committed to truth.

That's pretty rare.

You know, you're good at what you do.

You know, you have this podcast, you've been highly motivated to create this thing, but you're also, your heart is in it.

And so I felt moved to connect with you like this, mostly because I agree with your heart.

I resonate with your heart.

I appreciate you.

Fantastic.

Well, trust your heart in the midst of all of it and you'll go the right direction.

Me too.
