Time to Grow Our Muscles of Inner Power

Power poses for greater presence and happiness

You can tell so much of what a dog is feeling based on how they are posing.

But did you know that how we are posing, or holding our body position, also helps us feel a particular way?

This study out of Harvard by Social Psychologist Amy Cuddy has created a lot of attention, in part because of how EASY and how POWERFUL it is. [1]

Using Power Poses for Inner Connection and Presence

1. Think of the happiest moment from your life, in the last 5 years.
2. Now feel it. Be there. Remember it. And relive it completely as if it were right now.
3. Pay attention to the position of your body, your face, your energy. Is your mouth smiling? Are your shoulders relaxed and lowered? Is your chest opening and expanding? Is your chin slightly raised, as you bask in the glow of this moment? Does your whole body feel as if it can relax and open, into the sweetness and happiness that’s right now?
4. No matter what that pose is for you... adopt it, enjoy it, and hold it for a couple of minutes?
5. How do you feel? Let this moment guide you in power of this for you.
