Today I reunited with my Jungian therapist after his two-month absence.
Today I reunited with the Jungian analyst, R., who I’ve been working with since October. The two-week absence that he had planned in mid-April stretched into six weeks when his spouse had a major medical event overseas.... What's it like to post? Let's note!
When I ask myself the question, "What am I afraid of?", all I notice is the non-verbal sensation. "So, why not name that?", I ask myself again. I sense space and a "yes". So, this is what I notice.... - josefine...
Love and play are our natural states of being
Underneath everything is love. If I can’t feel the love, I know there’s something I’m not including in my experience. I must be slightly dissociated if I can’t access some touch of gratitude, love, awe, or flow.... Relatefulness vs Circling
I've been discovering distinctions and felt-senses of Relatefulness that seem to differ from how I know Circling. My short catch phrase is: "If meditation is the art of being, and Circling is the art of being-with, then Relatefulness is the art of being-human-with." I like this,... - Arun...
The assumption is "I should tell you about the worst things I'm feeling. The most important thing is the worst feeling or event that has transpired between us lately. It’s natural that that will be the center of my attention.... - nat...
A podcast about more joy
I’m entertaining the idea of rebooting my podcast and having a season of episodes that explore different ways of being that lead to experiencing more joy. I’m particularly interested in hearing about ways that people don’t often associate with feeling joy.... - Shera JoyCry...
Being With
What how do we explain relateful? How is it different than Authentic relating, circling and T Group? Back story, Circle Anywhere- Relateful have changed my life in ways -no other tools has ever come close... AND I CAN't ARTICULATE how and why!... - annabeth...
Telling people that I upvoted/downvoted their comment when I do and telling them why
(Triggered)(Feel super activated about the hiddenness and anonymity of the downvoting) I want to see what happens when it’s ok to be explicit about affecting someone’s status. (Fear that I’ll be avoided and ultimately alone.... It's the littlest thing . .
So this happened. . . How would you relate? I recently purchased new kitchen appliances (yay me!). They were delivered today. Prior to their arrival, I had been sitting with a range of emotional states (from joy to fear to contentment, etc.) and body sensation that kept me... - josefine...
Envy and desire
I’ve been studying quite intensively with Kasia Urbaniak this summer. One thing she’s focusing on is something she calls emotional alchemy: moving emotions and "cooking them" so that they can lead us towards what we want. One example she talks about is turning envy into desire.... I think appreciation is like investing; so is resentment. 🙌
You put in a little bit every day, and with compounding interest (it generates more of itself) you can end up with a fortune. Everyone from yogis to Tony Robbins says stuff like this— “whatever you put your attention on grows.” Why?... - nat...
I can relate to this. The specifics are unclear. But I feel like I made a similar decision that sharing my feelings doesn’t lead to anything good. It’s better to keep them in. I also feel like this decision made it more challenging to fully feel my feelings.... - renee...
Yeah, I agree the energy behind the words matters more. That’s an interesting thing your teacher said. Thinking of a kid that trips and falls. A mom might rush over in a panic, her anxiety amplifying the situation.... My specific thread was difficult for me. A woman I had just met earlier that day said she felt connected to me because we share a "latin america connection" but distant from me because I support genocide. I completely froze when she said that word.... - venita...
Important topic, Dara! I'm in both camps. I have felt quite censored and attacked over the past ten years for some of my views. So I definitely censor myself now and participate in conversations on-line a lot less. I am sad about this.... - Jason...
I feel gratitude reading this. Your first belief statement about emotions, “feelings reveal the truth of who I am,” is only limiting when we use emotions to reify a fixed identity. Might be clearer to say “feelings reveal the truth of who i am”.... Emotional Awareness leading to suffering or transcendence? 🫠
Many emotional awareness practices are self reifying. I think this leads to more suffering. Does being more in touch with your emotional reality invite transcendence of who and what you think you are? Or does it confine you?...
