#1 When we’re in contraction, we’re closed off, defensive, and likely to criticize, criticize, and criticize some more. When we’re in expansion, we’re open, trusting, and optimistic, and we see solutions to problems.

#2 to be in expansion, we need to be open, trusting, and optimistic. To be in contraction, we need to be closed off, defensive, and critical. -> Our natural state is relaxed, trusting, and open. However, beyond our awareness, many of our thoughts and feelings create contraction. Our lives, parts of our childhoods, our insecurities, lows, traumas, shame stories, limiting beliefs, fears, and stress are held as memory in the body, which is where our subconscious lives.

#3 To expand, you must be open, trusting, and optimistic. To contract, you must be closed off, defensive, and critical.

You can ask yourself this question throughout the day: Which state am I in, contraction or expansion. Notice how much time you spend in each state and how long you allow yourself to feel either in your system.
