Felt Sense & Meeting Emotional States [Self-guided]
Join Jeannie as she shares about the value of the felt sense of being and its usefulness in meeting emotional states.
Drop into the felt sense of the ground of being
How do I be with all of this?
Jeannie invites participants to notice where their attention is, and guides them toward noticing felt sense in the body. She suggests noticing how attention is conditioned to rise to thought, and let it keep sinking back down, into sound, feel, and breath. She talks about the wisdom gleaned from fully digesting experience and that this is a basic tool for embodiment, to digest the undigested emotion, pierce delusional beliefs, and live the light that we are and to grow rooted in the seat of Being.
