“Perception Language, like awe, is novel and requires cognitive accommodation - a different way of seeing and making sense of ourselves and the world.
Some of the highlights are
• Keep the conversation in the present.
• Remove blame and praise from every conversation.
• Understand that we are the source of our feelings.”

“Consciousness is not some abstract concept. It's our state of mind - our thoughts and feelings at any given moment.
The 3LC model (Spacious, Heart, Safety) suggests the state of consciousness we are in will always influence how we perceive a situation, the choices we see for ourselves and our actions.
In other words, it affects everything.
Three Levels of Consciousness
Spacious - AWE - Expansive, Nonverbal, Nontemporal
Heart - Appreciation, Gratitude
Safety - Reward - Purposeful Proactive Productive
- Stuck - Anxiety Anguish Ambivalence
- Threat - Fight Flight Freeze”

“A.W.E. is a doorway to profound presence, spaciousness, ease and peace - a fast track to transcendence.
Part of the reason awe doesn't come naturally to some people is that their sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive more often than is necessary.
Many of us don't feel safe enough to open up to awe.”

“this work also highlights the need to return back Home: to our ancestry, to many of our practices, our medicines, our native tongues, and our communal ways of thriving, while reconfiguring and integrating these practices into the present and future.”
