We tend to think about emotions and label them with a word. But how accurate can this really be? Is it possible that by doing this, we are losing touch with the nuances of the energy as it flows through us? Limiting our perception of what the emotion is really trying to tell us?

What if the feeling of sadness was impregnated with meaning and satisfaction? Or our excitement peppered with a bit of anxiety and fear? Emotions are dynamic, fluid, shape shifting. And when we tune into the sensations of our bodies, and notice how the emotions feel in our tissues and take shape in our system - the tightness or lightness, the heat, heaviness or shakiness - we can ride the raw wave of emotion deeper and deeper into its core.

Following its current beyond the language mind and into the language of meaning and soul, where the larger stories reveal themselves, and a greater sense of self, that deeper understanding of what’s really going on within our psyche and soma begins to show itself.
