Head vs. heart partner practice

REBLOG: I am republishing this post from June’s gathering with an audio file below where I assume the role of partner 1 (asking the questions) so you can respond as partner 2.

This is in intuitive tool adapted from the work of Sonia Choquette. It’s a really effective way to distinguish the difference the feeling of being in your head and being in your heart. Through its use, you are able to see circumstances in your life in a new light and gain clarity on those issues. It is best done aloud as a partner practice because it not only awakens and involves your heart chakra but your throat chakra as well.

DIRECTIONS

Decide which partner will do the asking in the first round, and who will do the answering.
Follow the dialogue below. Partner 1 is the person doing the asking. If you are partner 2 it is important that you answer without hesitation or second-guessing.
After the dialogue is over, give the partner 2 time to jot some notes.
Switch roles.

PARTNER 1: Feel into a question that you have in your life. Ask yourself, Is this a real question? Is there real, authentic curiosity here? Am I really available for inspiration? (In other words, do you sincerely seek an answer to this question, and are you willing to approach it in earnest, that is, with an open heart and mind?)

PARTNER 2 does not have to elaborate on the details of the question or problem. She just has to answer YES/NO. (Partner 1 will repeat above until the answer is YES.)

PARTNER 1: Complete this sentence: “My head says…”
