Feelings

It occurs to me that sometimes it is good to name feelings, and sometimes it isn’t.  When I did the Hoffman Process, we had a list of feeling grades we could use when someone asked us how we felt.  It was on the back of our binder.  Words included calm, centered, ashamed, vulnerable, dissatisfied, yearning, etc.

But I get these really interesting states doing my Kum Nye, where I feel a sort of connection with the air and space around me.  And I don’t feel like naming it.

When it comes to complex sensations and feelings, “that” is not just an acceptable answer, but sometimes the only appropriate one.
