Recognizing Whole Body Yes, No, and Subtle No Responses

In this exercise, listeners are guided to recall a deeply valuable experience and a negative experience to identify sensations associated with a whole body yes, a no, and a subtle no. The body sensations like temperature changes, energy flows, and vibrations are used to differentiate between these responses. By practicing discerning these feelings, individuals can identify their instinctual reactions to make decisions aligning with their whole body yes.
