生龙活虎

¿Dónde estás ahora? ¿Conduciendo hacia tu trabajo o en sentido contrario? ¿Paseando con tu mascota o en tranquila soledad en tu casa? ¿Desde dónde me estás escuchando? ¿Dónde estás escuchando este audio?

Desde hace pocos días he decidido ir compartiendo estos audio-artículos contigo también por el Internet. ¿Por qué? Porque tengo la sensación y la seguridad de que los “podcasts” de escuchan, no solo se oyen y eso, en los tiempos que corren, es un regalo casi divino.

Blabla French Podcast - Nouvel An Chinois, école, éducation -

A gift from my heart to your heart! A guided meditation to help you relax, release and connect with your inner self...

For a teacher and a student. Something we can all benefit from and I use it every day :)

It's something unusual for a teacher to do, I know.

But I am not a normal teacher. I am interested in psychology, coaching, meditation, exploring the invisible. 

Today I'd like to share with you something I've come to realise after 14 years of my own personal & professional development - learning from the world's top teachers and something I've gathered from over 18,000 one-on-one coaching sessions with my students that I've successfully helped.

This is something I have done for my private students, but in today's meditation I had an idea to share it with the Italki community. 

Please allow my guided meditation to help you relax, feel comfortable in your skin and trust your inner instrument, the Dao WIthin, to take you where you need to go.

Let your Higher Self be your guide and my voice is the transmission mechanism to your Higher Self.

Feel good now.

You will hear a story about when I interviewed in Spanish, which is my second language, and get my top five tips for how you can succeed in an interview in your second language. Then you'll learn the definitions for the English idioms and phrases I used in the episode.
