Felt Sense/Thought Sense and Choosing What We Want
On our recent trip to Austin, Texas, my wife asked on a long drive to and from Dallas (long story) what I meant when I refer to "felt sense"*. She'd noted I use it a lot - when I am trying to process something I don't (yet) have words for, when talking about EMDR or TRE or other somatic modalities with therapists and coaches and the like. I even used it quite a bit in the most recent Level III Nalanda Miksang workshop I taught, though it is language more from the Shambhala Art teachings than Miksang.
So what does it mean, she said. Coming from anyone else it might sound airy-fairy, but I know from you it must mean something. What?
Indeed.
