You are looking at the effect, not the cause!

Does it sound familiar? - 

"I am unable to communicate with others"

"I feel shy&nervous starting a conversation"

"I have a language barrier"

If it seems familiar then the goal is to determine what part of you that feels/thinks this way?

You 'native' part doesn't feel shy talking to people or finding words, your 'language-learner' part does.

How was it formed and how it affects you and as the result how it affects your speaking ways will be talked about in the podcast which you don't want to miss :)

Let me know how was the recording, what you got out from it?

and in our 1-1, private mindset coaching + language coaching immersion method I use to teach people to communicate classes we'll dive deeper into  your unique case and help you succeed!

In this episode, we explore how the Solar Plexus Chakra, or Manipura, plays a vital role in language learning by regulating confidence, personal power, and the ability to express oneself authentically. Located near the stomach, Manipura is not only metaphysically tied to self-esteem but also biologically connected to the enteric nervous system and the vagus nerve, both of which influence stress regulation, digestion, and cognitive clarity. By engaging in mindful practices such as breathwork, posture alignment, and intentional vocalization, learners activate the Solar Plexus Chakra, enhancing both their fluency and emotional resilience. We also discuss how certain languages with strong rhythmic, tonal, or assertive qualities engage this chakra more directly, creating a feedback loop where language study supports chakra balance, while chakra activation boosts memory, confidence, and communicative ease.

Extract: 
We're going to go through a new story today and it begins with anger as a 95 year old (is)  told to take out her bins. Now, I just want to give you some background to this first of all. So, here in the UK, we have to put our bins on the streets for them to be collected and emptied.
So we have large bins, which are referred to as wheelie bins, And we must put those on the street. Depending on your relationship with your neighbours if you live in an apartment block, someone may do this for you. But the council employees, the people who come to empty the bins, will not come upon your property to collect them. They used to. But they don't any more. Depending on the council and depending on their funding, You may be able to request them to help you if you're old or infirm. As money is tight  these days for everyone, more and more councils are refusing to do this. A council is simply a local area government.
 Now we're going to read through a story here about what's happened to a 95 year old. Now, bearing in mind that here in the UK, we don't generally mix with our neighbours unless we know them very well or are related to them.
As I’ve often told you, we view  the Government almost like a mother or father, we expect them to do the things, which perhaps in your country is done by a community.
