Exercise/Movement 30 min a day.
An Embodied Listening Journal – record daily the narration of 3-5 intimate connections experienced in person, by cell phone or face-time, in nature, or telepathically.
Read 10 pages daily from Mystery Gate, Energy of Love, or Connecting Your Circle.

Embodied Listening Journal
I am choosing this as a daily practice rather than the pressure/no pressure of a 100 Day Challenge 😊. I write in a journal at the end of each day an account of “listening” emotionally, viscerally, energetically, and mentally of what goes on inside me when I connect with three others. I take notice of facial expressions, body language, and movement of the being in front of me. I hear the verbal exchange if there is one, but my attention focuses more on perceiving, sensing and feeling.
Example:
An encounter with a 25 year old salesman named “Smith” at the Apple Store. He had just come back from Cameroon from attending his grandmother’s funeral. I focused on receiving “all of him” more than I usually would in a “retail store”. I was fully in my body not in my head.
Smith became so alive as he shared with me snippets about his grandmother he deeply loved. There was a trust quickly initiated between us….that just was. As I was leaving I heard him whisper to his colleague, “I even told her about my grandmother!”
And all this non-tech connection happened in the Apple Store!!
