Beyond Mars and Venus with John Gray
John Gray author of one of the most influential relationship books of all time ‘Men are from Mars; Women are from Venus’ is talking to Angela about how we are all now living in a different reality which has changed our hormonal foundation and means we now need a revised approach to develop the relationship skills required in such a complex world.
They discuss how you can work towards a balance between your masculine and feminine and achieve an open heart being authentic in your relationship if you learn to understand and feel your deeper emotions.
Key Takeaways
- When women are stressed their oestrogen levels are low when men are stressed their testosterone levels are low
- Connection is one of the key elements in oestrogen going up
- We are not designed to be together all the time. detachment for men can increase testosterone
- We long for connection but if we get too much it has the opposite effect
- You need the right balance of connection and separation
- if you are solving problems with confidence your testosterone is rising
- Previously men were taught to meditate and this was an effective way of rebuilding testosterone
- Part of men’s bonding happens when women’s oestrogen is very high
- You need higher levels of testosterone to sustain interest in someone you love than someone you don’t love
- Women have the feminine power of attraction to draw in opportunity and it’s then the masculine that makes use of it
- There is more to the world than what we can see and hear. Find in your heart peacefully what it is you really want in your life
- If you are both analysing and feeling you can experience feeling the deeper emotions
- When you learn how to process your emotions you can grow and manifest your potential
- I recommend a positive mindset, good nutrition and sometimes supplements if you are going through a crisis
- The ultimate accountability is when you have the source of happiness within yourself
Best Moments
‘You need love and when you feel this your oestrogen levels go up’
‘The world is a projection to help you get in touch with how you feel’
