Live in the Frequency of Love with Teresa Rodriguez | Handbook for Human Potential Chandra Zas

In this conversation, Chandra Zas (Book Momma) sits down with Teresa Rodriguez, author of "Live in the Frequency of Love" (Chapter 8, page 143) in Handbook for Human Potential: An Accessible Guide to Personal Growth.

Teresa is a transition coach and the founder of Eighth Dimension Pillars. Her chapter is one of the most practical in the book, with a meditation, a breathing exercise, and a personal story. In this interview she goes deeper into the thinking behind it.

In this episode:

• Why Teresa chose her key takeaways: they're things she had to learn and practice herself
• Her definition of love as deep caring, connection to source, and intentional action
• Why the past doesn't have to define you, and the question she asks clients: Who have you been? Who are you now? Who do you want to be?
• Why changing your conditioning is simple but not easy
• How to hold a boundary and still love someone unconditionally, using the example of a mother-in-law who wants to help every day
• Why "no" is a complete sentence, and why a boundary can be an act of love toward yourself and the other person
• Teresa's daily practice of cultivating love, a meditation of at least 20 minutes
• Breaking generational patterns and building a new way of being, with help
• What to do when you're triggered or under stress: returning to your values, breathwork, pausing, and asking the right people for help
• Teresa's billboard message, and her question for the next author
