INNER QUESTIONING

 

—understanding grounding in your life

Here we ask you the questions and you provide the answers. By answering these questions we hope that by paying attention, you will notice patterns. We then look at those patterns with the practices shared later on.

For example, you may notice that you feel very grounded and at ease around your close friends but that in a work situation you lose that anchor. You would then look at the tools that you can use to bring a sense of groundedness to your work life.
