How Do I Feel My Feelings?
by Amy Johnson
I often talk about living in the felt sense of life, or “coming to your senses”. Feeling your way through life rather than thinking your way through. And while this seems to resonate with many as a good idea, there are often a lot of questions about how to do this. Questions like How do I feel? Am I doing it right? Why would I drop into the body or come to my senses? These questions are thoughts, of course. Consider that, as thoughts, answers are not necessarily needed or even possible. These are often doubt thoughts masquerading as practical problems that require solutions. We are pulled back into thought content, away from actual feeling, to answer questions about how to feel. Feeling is beyond description. It’s a simple shift in attention that we do all the time, even when the mind is saying we don’t know how.
