- 1:53Erin Gray: So let's talk about the head center as it pertains to money.
- 1:57Erin Gray: So I'm going to break it down to aligned and not aligned, and then also, how does it show up if you're defined or undefined?
- 2:07Erin Gray: So when you're aligned, whether you are defined or undefined, this can look like balancing a budget with your lifestyle goals and allowing for fluidity, right?
- 2:18Erin Gray: So this is how you feel in your body will tell you.
- 2:23Erin Gray: You will start to notice the more you become connected to your body, recognizing.
- 2:30Erin Gray: I call it like a ping pong match.
- 2:33Erin Gray: I have had clients, friends, colleagues when they ask for I don't like the word advice, but when they're giving me some situations and they want feedback, and I hear them and I hear the head chatter and I will ask them and I will say like you feel really in your head right now, like drop into your body, connect, and I know our head and our bodies are the same, but you know what I mean when I say we're.
- 3:01Erin Gray: We're in our heads, right, it feels very thinking versus how does that actually feel in your body?
- 3:07Erin Gray: So, um, when you're not aligned, a lot of times what happens is you might overly consume.
- 3:15Erin Gray: You want this like the pressure to know, because the head is a pressure center.
- 3:19Erin Gray: You might overly plan and overly budget.
- 3:22Erin Gray: And recognizing, when you're not aligned, one that's the first like celebration, right, I'm not aligned.
- 3:30Erin Gray: And also, this typically comes from, you know, when you think about overly consuming, overly planning, overly budgeting, this comes from a place of, at the at the core is we are seeking safety.
- 3:45Erin Gray: We're seeking security, right, so just noticing where you are.
- 3:53Erin Gray: If you are in that stage of like, okay, I'm wanting to know all of the things, because really, what we think is, if I can know everything, then I can feel safe and secure, versus focusing on the body and knowing I can feel safe and secure right now.
- 4:11Erin Gray: And what I mean by that is what we're typically trying to do is to avoid or to go towards a feeling.
- 4:20Erin Gray: But if we are okay and can allow and can process and feel whatever feelings come, sensations, come within our body, like that's that's really safety and security.
- 4:33Erin Gray: Like we think, okay, if we can control, if we can know every single thing, then that'll make us feel okay.
- 4:38Erin Gray: But we know that that's not true, because if that were true and all of us would feel like we will analyze the shit out of everything, right?
- 4:46Erin Gray: So we know that that's not the case.
- 4:48Erin Gray: So, really starting to like what, how can I provide safety and soothing and security in these moments?
- 4:57Erin Gray: So, if you do have a defined head and these aren't all inclusive, but some of the things that like the, the thoughts that might is like you have a very fixed old school way right Of doing stuff, or you might you might think about like okay, the financial industry has done it this way, or my grandparents did it this way.
- 5:21Erin Gray: And here's the thing with the head center and the Ajna center is like we have so much evidence that it worked right.
- 5:29Erin Gray: This was something for me is recognizing that it did work this other way.
- 5:36Erin Gray: And also, what I want you to check in with is and how did it feel in your body?
- 5:41Erin Gray: Right, like, okay, yeah, so I got to the number I wanted to get to, but the whole journey while I was getting there didn't feel so great right in my body.
- 5:51Erin Gray: So is there another way that doesn't feel as pressurized that can?
- 5:57Erin Gray: We can kind of, I think.
- 5:59Erin Gray: Sometimes the head center, along with the Ajna, can be very myopic, and so allowing yourself to like, well, what if I did it a different way, what would it look like?
- 6:11Erin Gray: Like allowing yourself some freedom to explore that, and then, if you're undefined, you just might overlap, overanalyze everything.
- 6:19Erin Gray: And just recognizing you know, when you are doing this, that how that makes you feel in your body.
- 6:29Erin Gray: And this also can be habit, right, this can be something that your body is used to experiencing, certain emotions and certain thoughts, and so if you are used to feeling worry, your body will serve you up.
- 6:52Erin Gray: I don't even know if this is a word, but worry, full thoughts, worried thoughts, because the body is used to feeling worried and so we think worry is helpful.
- 7:06Erin Gray: It's not helpful, it's it.
- 7:09Erin Gray: It doesn't allow us to access our creativeness, um, and we're more so in a survival state versus in a creative state.
- 7:21Erin Gray: And so, really recognizing when do I overanalyze, and you'll probably see patterns right.
- 7:29Erin Gray: There might be some things that some areas of your life if you go back to you know the first webinar about the eight areas of your life there might be some areas of your life where you don't overanalyze and there might be some that you really are hypervigilant, and that might be more so from a condition place, it might be, from trauma, it might be from it could be.
- 7:48Erin Gray: You know lots of different things.
- 7:49Erin Gray: So, recognizing, where am I holding onto?
- 7:56Erin Gray: Gripping tightly over analyzing, over consuming pressure to know things?
- 8:00Erin Gray: And you can always ask yourself like what feeling am I trying to feel in this moment?
- 8:08Erin Gray: This takes slowing down, this takes awareness, this takes breathing.
- 8:15Erin Gray: You know this, this is this isn't something that for sure, it's not something I do 100% of the time.
- 8:23Erin Gray: A lot of the times, with awareness, we catch it on the very end, right After it's already said and done, after the experience has already happened.
- 8:30Erin Gray: That's when the awareness starts and then, as you become to get more aware, it might happen in the moment and you see it Like it's almost like you're watching a movie.
- 8:38Erin Gray: You see what's happening and then, even before that, you can start to like you know you're going to be in this situation.
- 8:48Erin Gray: How do I want to feel?
- 8:49Erin Gray: How do I want to think?
- 8:51Erin Gray: What do I?
- 8:52Erin Gray: You know?
- 8:52Erin Gray: How do I want to be in this situation?
