What are your favorite ways of getting into the heart and belly for someone who is head dominant? I've heard you talk about meditating and sending energy into the belly. For me, working out/moving my body is by far the best way of getting into the belly. The best way I've found of getting into the heart is being present with another person (talking, listening, hugging, etc). I'm curious about what other methods you or others have found (anyone can reply).
yeah working out and doing anything physical is great. bioenergetics is really good for getting into the belly (youtube 'devaraj sandberg bioenergetics' - all those videos have been super helpful for me). the belly meditation is good. reading the book 'hara: the vital center of man' and applying the practices inside is great (belly awareness when sitting/standing).
but more than that...
what has been most useful for me for getting into the heart/belly is actually exploring the psychological barriers/limitations/conditioning that keeps me from embodying the belly/opening up the heart. things like presence process (10 week program inside that book) and working with teachers weekly has been the best aid here.
Thanks for the recommendations man. Appreciate it. I did the presence process a few years back and found it useful. Maybe it's time to do another round of it!
