1) My AP and I did 30 minute readings covering self love colors, how to love more and breathe more deeply. He pointed out qualities of the color yellow such as flexibility, adaptability, clarity and balance. He pointed out a playfulness and a sense of inner joy. I was glad to hear this because I don’t always feel this way. He said I was safe inside, something that was important to hear.
Regarding loving myself more, he used the analogy of a mushroom that can be flexible and strong at the same time. There is useful nourishment despite not the best environment. Finally he covered how to breathe more deeply. It had a lot to do with observing the movement of the breathe on the inhale, and the let go of the exhale. The summary addressed all of these topics.
2) Regarding the deep breathing, it has not gone easily at all. Mostly I forget , and when I remember, I take a few deep breaths. I will do the 3×30 exercise.
3) We have been having more green drinks.
Robin, My AP pointed out some concerns about my reading and I wanted to share them with you for the purpose of clarity and appropriateness. He pointed out that I used praise at one point, different than ,what I thought was being positive. He said there was a distancing effect that could rebound into resistance. He felt there shouldn’t be any judgement and I agree. I want to clarify the difference between positivity and complimenting. I ‘d appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks a lot,

1. AP reading: 30 minutes:
The colors of self-love revealed that my AP partner has the qualities of brightness of presence, adaptability, and flexibility which altogether allow him to bounce back when challenges come his way.
He has a sense of being safe and that allows him to give himself with joyful abandon to relationships and situations.
The way he can deepen his self-love is by focusing on, cultivating and attending to that innate feeling safe that he has. This gives him access to intriguing and unusual forms of nourishment even where there seems to be none. It also allows him to access altered states of perception which bring him closer to being attuned with Source itself.
The way he can breathe deeply more often is by setting his attention on the changes of temperature as he in and exhales and by being alert to the pathway of the air as it enters and exits his body. Additionally, it will help him to contemplate the fact that the air he is having access to has been around for hundreds of millions of years and it is that which he shares with all that is alive right now and that has ever been alive before him.
On a different note: I noticed during the session a sense of intriguing beauty about focusing only on positive and constructive aspects of his being. I could feel for myself how this can be both too much good at once and also a beautiful invitation to rise up in one’s awareness, both as the reader and the receiver of the reading.
2. Breathe deeply all the time and remember to smile:
It has had the effect of rising my mood for the first few days. My ability to keep focused on it decreased with each passing day. When I remember it however it is causing me to take deep breaths. I am more often, because of this exercise, in a state of presence.
How would my life change if I did it all the time? Most likely I would be more at ease, slow down more often and take in what I am surrounded by.
3. Self-care:
Watched the video on FB and found some clarification about how to use the arms. Thank you.
Smoothies are on hold for now till my current digestive disturbance passes.
I meditate every day and I am able to accept and allow myself to be relaxed and at ease in more situations every day. This feels rejuvenating and as an act of self-love. I also ask myself sometimes: if I truly loved myself as an aspect of Source would I do what I am doing now in the way I am doing it? This helps every time.
