Cultivating Connection in Relationships by Nourishing Your Nervous System with Oren Shai

Commitment Phobe

Ever think about how authentic is the way you breathe, walk, or sit?

What if some of those patterns or postures are ways you've learned to be to protect yourself or be accepted, but it's not actually what's true in the moment? And what if you could then change your life by simply changing your physical patterns and nourishing your nervous system? My guest Oren Shai comes on to the podcast for the second time to talk about how we can create more authentic relating and relationships by growing our awareness of the authenticity of our movements and postures.

-How we hold our body determines how we live our lives.

-How we've all been living in an envinronment that's akin to a "rock concert" and how that impacts of nervous system awareness.

-The power of slowing down and how it can help us feel more and rely less on stimulants.

-How responsible are we for feeling regulated in our relationships? -How can we learn to recognize when we're externalizing our sense safety so we can source that safety from within?

-Sensing vs. sensemaking.

-How sharing our feelings with others can be invitations for deepening intimacy.

-The power of taking pauses when we're relating with others.
