encouraged to live fully beyond loss and adversity

Emotional Flooding – A Tony Robbins Heart Exercise

I recently returned from one of the best things I’ve ever done.  I gave myself {and hubby} a most uplifting and life-changing experience –  a Tony Robbins four-day seminar.  I’m making the assumption you all know who he is; I will simply say here that he is a brilliant life master.  I view this seminar as a crash course in how to live life extraordinarily – how to live with energy, passion and in a conscious and alive state of mind and being:

how to maximize our potential by pushing through our fears and resistances that keep us all from doing so much more with our lives;

how to rid ourselves of the stories we habitually tell ourselves that keep us stuck in our same mode;

how to move beyond our past    “The past does not equal the future unless you live there.” 

how to put ourselves into a state of action

how to change

I’m still digesting it all.  But I wanted to share something I think is very powerful and yet easy to access on our own.  This is a great take-away and definitely alters our state of mind and mood.   It’s a heart exercise to activate the flow of positive feelings or as called, emotional flooding.

  1. Stand or sit with eyes closed and focus on your heart area.  Placing your hands over your heart produces a stronger effect.
  2. Focus on the breath coming in and out of your heart.
  3. Conjure up good times, feelings of love and joy, things you’re grateful for.  More specifically, you can ask yourself questions such as, what is something I’m proud of, something I’m excited about,  funny times that made me laugh out loud, fun experiences.

Here’s to a great way to start off your day and it can be done in just 3 or 4 minutes to get the boost.

Now I present to you Tony leading this exercise in an Oprah class.

I’d love to hear your reactions when you do this.  Come back here and share.
