Episode notes
Touch Into Where You Feel Like You Are
- Do feel into wherever it feels like you are without analyzing or concluding.
- Sit with the simple felt sense of being you for a few seconds periodically to clarify your center over time.
Locate The Absolute Center Of Experience
- Try locating the absolute center of your experience for a half second, whether in head or chest.
- Even a brief touch is valuable and repeating it periodically can deepen the sense of inhabiting yourself.
Turn Toward The Part Saying You Can't Relax
- Turn toward the felt obstruction (shame, doubt, not knowing) instead of avoiding it and acknowledge it's okay to be present.
- Tell that part "you have my attention" and explore its felt quality and energy.
