Erin Gray: 1:53

So let's talk about the head center as it pertains to money. 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? 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? So this is how you feel in your body will tell you. You will start to notice the more you become connected to your body, recognizing. I call it like a ping pong match.

Erin Gray: 2:33

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. We're in our heads, right, it feels very thinking versus how does that actually feel in your body? So, um, when you're not aligned, a lot of times what happens is you might overly consume. You want this like the pressure to know, because the head is a pressure center. You might overly plan and overly budget. And recognizing, when you're not aligned, one that's the first like celebration, right, I'm not aligned. 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. We're seeking security, right, so just noticing where you are.

Erin Gray: 3:53

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. And what I mean by that is what we're typically trying to do is to avoid or to go towards a feeling. 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. Like we think, okay, if we can control, if we can know every single thing, then that'll make us feel okay. 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? So we know that that's not the case. So, really starting to like what, how can I provide safety and soothing and security in these moments? 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.

Erin Gray: 5:21

And here's the thing with the head center and the Ajna center is like we have so much evidence that it worked right. This was something for me is recognizing that it did work this other way. And also, what I want you to check in with is and how did it feel in your body? 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. So is there another way that doesn't feel as pressurized that can? We can kind of, I think.

Erin Gray: 5:59

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? Like allowing yourself some freedom to explore that, and then, if you're undefined, you just might overlap, overanalyze everything. And just recognizing you know, when you are doing this, that how that makes you feel in your body. 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. 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. It's not helpful, it's it. It doesn't allow us to access our creativeness, um, and we're more so in a survival state versus in a creative state. And so, really recognizing when do I overanalyze, and you'll probably see patterns right.

Erin Gray: 7:29

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. You know lots of different things. So, recognizing, where am I holding onto? Gripping tightly over analyzing, over consuming pressure to know things? And you can always ask yourself like what feeling am I trying to feel in this moment? This takes slowing down, this takes awareness, this takes breathing. You know this, this is this isn't something that for sure, it's not something I do 100% of the time.

Erin Gray: 8:23

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. 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. 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. How do I want to feel? How do I want to think? What do I? You know? How do I want to be in this situation?
