12:31:06 You can do it for yourself, within, family, even with children they have a children's version with your flmates.
12:31:13 You know your friends, just to see where you are with your love, language, but in Irs we talk a lot about preferences, and the opposite, which is a versions and then, once you understand that what you value and the people around you value are you simple just preferences, really or versions and
12:31:30 there's no judgment necessary, right? You can recognize this and maybe develop a deeper connection with yourself without judgment and with loved ones, feeling greater wholeness for yourself and in your relationships.
12:31:46 Okay, we've got a new kind of TV. So let's see if I can get there.
12:31:51 They're always testing my techie ability.
12:31:54 So, okay. So with that, the invitation for this week is just experience being with these love languages.
12:32:01 And notice how they might appear in life, in self, care and quality alone.
12:32:05 Time, just in connecting with others I'm gonna stop this share here.
12:32:10 Just come into your comfortable position, whatever that is today, standing or sitting, leaving your video on or off. We'll just complete our time, together with some self nourishment and some self soothing and just always take care of any discomfort arises.

12:44:24 Scanning the whole body to notice other places. It might be landing.
12:44:35 Being curious about the movement or energy.
12:44:44 Is it tense or tingling?
12:44:50 Releasing.
12:44:55 Without needing to shift or soften.

12:45:17 Anything else comes into perception, just noticing, without attaching or detaching.
12:45:28 And then go back and forth. Perhaps between these opposites.
12:45:37 Feeling, into one.
12:45:41 And then the other sensation.
12:45:51 And if helpful, interweaving the inner resource of being in well-being throughout the whole body in mind.
12:46:02 Complete and secure.
12:46:13 When it feels right, might you welcome both at the same time?
12:46:22 Enough space to hold the feeling of joy and challenge.
12:46:30 Or the feeling of well-being, and this transfer.
12:46:40 Enough space for both.
12:46:49 Mike. To notice is joy and well-being. Nourish the whole body in mind, even as you're feeling this challenge or stress.

12:47:53 Connected, perfect and whole.
12:48:00 Sense, and affirm how you always know the perfect and precise response to every moment of life.
12:48:15 Just taking your time. Now, as we gradually transition back to waking life.
12:48:23 All the while still feeling this absolute joy and equanimity throughout the body in mind.
12:48:33 Just beginning to walk on the spaces and surfaces that have been supporting you.
12:48:40 Sense of ground beneath you.
12:48:50 Wants of clothing.
12:48:54 Sensor, residue of taste.
12:49:01 When it feels right, just gently opening up close in the eye several times to integrate the experience.
12:49:09 Body-finding movement, maybe moving shoulders, neck. Hello, the fingers and toes to find movement just coming back to eyes fully awake.
