Personality and Expression

Recently a young man had a session. He had booked a series together and we were able to dive in deep.

In the very first one, we explored the fact that even though his job was focussed on communicating all day, he was not actually expressing from his whole body when he did this.

Interestingly, in the week that followed, he received feedback along these same lines. This reflected to him that when he was communicating there seemed to be this whole other persona that was expressing, thus ensuring he could not feel the depth of his innate sensitivity, delicacy, authority and true presence, preventing him from going deeper.

In the following session we discussed this, and as soon as that persona was revealed his body started to adjust, he could start to let the words sink in, and as they did, he started to totally reconfigure. His voice changed, in particular his eyes changed, and then it was like the whole of the structure of his face changed. 
 
He had allowed himself to deepen, to feel that depth of his own presence, his sagacity and his innate wisdom. In fact, he looked structurally so different, and his face took on the look of a wise man. It was very beautiful to behold.

You see, we have these personalities that we present to the world which become our armour, our shield, and what we use to protect ourselves from hurts and more, but these develop in a way that don’t let us feel the depths of who we truly are, let alone express them.

The thing is that when we do allow ourselves to let go of  this way of being, this mask, we have the opportunity to explore who we truly are and to express this in a totally different way.

You may of course be completely reconfigured as was this client, which then behoves us to allow ourselves the grace of Space for what can feel like a new, different and more true expression to come through. These days I find myself doing this a lot, giving myself this space to connect in, because I know that there is more depth to be expressed, it simply needs that space to settle before it pours through.

And that’s what we can do, all of us. As we embody this, it becomes a reflection for all those we express to, talk to, and come into contact with, to be inspired to then plumb their own depths, to let go of the safety rails of what we have known, and to allow ourselves to be transparent, translucent, and truly seen.

Online Expression & Communication Sessions
Whether it’s  the way you speak, or even the way you move,  we are always communicating. Knowing what we are communicating is essential  for well-being, and to  connect with ourselves and each other. 
We can feel what it’s like to be at ease on stage, public speaking, or even in connecting intimately. Knowing the way we express is a profound way to start to know who we truly are.
 

NOTE: Construction for the new studio is well under way and so  live sessions including singing, recording, expression, and communication will be available
