Energies of Love - part two

Energies of Love, Part Two from the file of Mary Jane Popp at KAHI Radio in Sacramento

Meet Mary Jane Popp at KAHI Radio
If you remember last time on POPPOFF, I shared the four “Energetic Stress Styles” that I got from Donna Eden and Dr. David Feinstein they covered in their book “The Energies of Love.” Donna is a pioneer in energy medicine and David is a clinical Psychologist. They claim they have garnered experience from their couple’s workshops that are keys to a fulfilling partnership. I promised you some practical tips to fire up that relationship, so no more talk, here they are.

HUG OFTEN. Hugs get your positive energies to intermingle and meld. Relaxing even into a six-second full-body embrace increases serotonin levels, leaving you feel closer and, if you were having a disagreement, less irritable.

GIVE YOUR PARTNER A SPINAL FLUSH. Reflex points that impact every one of your body’s major energy pathways are situated along the spine. They go into a detailed description of what to do next, but not enough time here. But it’s in the book.

SUPPORT THE PRODUCTION OF OXYTOCIN. Energy techniques can influence your hormone levels. We know sex produces oxytocin, but so can this one-minute technique. It begins by breathing slowly and deeply as you draw your hands up from your pubic bone until you get to the center of your chest.

Before you exhale, move your hands up and out toward your sides as if you were tracing a heart above and around your breasts. Slowly exhale as you being your hands back toward your pubic bone, completing the tracing of a large heart over your torso. Repeat a few times and finish by drawing your hands up the center of your chest and holding them over your heart for two breaths.

STRETCH. When you feel stale or tense, stand and imagine an invisible rope hanging down over your head. Reach up and pull it down with one hand and then the other, alternating hands for at least a minute.

HOOK UP. If you are feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner, place the middle finger of one hand on your “third eye” and the middle finger of your other on your navel. Gently press both fingers inward, pull them upward, and hold at least three deep full breaths.

SCAN FOR WHAT YOU APPRECIATE ABOUT YOUR PARTNER AND STATE IT. Often!

USE A GENTLE OPENING FOR TOUGH TOPICS. The way you bring up a delicate topic will have an immediate impact on your partner’s biochemistry and thus the energy that is activated in each of you and between you.

KEEP YOUR ENERGIES MOVING IN A CRISS-CROSS PATTERN. Under stress, your energies lose the natural cross-over configuration that supports best thinking. Place either hand on its opposite shoulder and press hard behind the shoulder with your fingers. Drag your hand over your shoulder, maintaining pressure. Continue with less pressure now, to your opposite hip. Repeat two or three times. Shift to other side.

BALANCE YOUR ENERGIES RATHER THAN BATTLING YOUR PARTNER. If tension begins to rise between you and either calls for a cease fire, you should both…by ironclad pre-agreement…stop the argument, mid-sentence if necessary. Then, immediately set about shifting your energies.

GET CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR PARTNER’S STRESS RESPONSE STYLE. Rather than judging your partner or going into a defense mode, give your partner the benefit of the doubt.

Lots to think about and all the details are in “The Energies of Love.” Check out www.theenergiesoflove.com too.

May the LOVE be with you!
