The journey inward – feeling and embodying
For me, feeling is the ability to consciously connect with your inner experience the moment it arises. It’s noticing signals in your body (such as breathing, tension, warmth, contraction, relaxation), but also allowing emotions and subtle sensations without immediately trying to explain, solve, or control them.
Feeling doesn’t just mean knowing what you feel, but also experiencing that you feel it. It requires slowing down, openness, and often courage, because you direct your attention to what can sometimes be uncomfortable, painful, or unfamiliar.
At its core, feeling is a form of inner listening — with the whole body as the instrument.
It relates to various levels
Physical
The sensory signals of your body.
Emotioneel
Feelings that arise, sometimes out of nowhere.
Energetic
Subtle changes in tension, contact, or presence.
Consciousness
The ability to observe what arises without getting lost in it.
Feeling is also intelligence—not of the mind, but of the system. It tells you what is right and what isn’t. What is genuine and what you are actually avoiding. When you learn to trust that feeling, you can more and more often make choices that truly fit you, even if your mind doesn’t understand it yet.
