janWe can sense when we are accepted and loved unconditionally by others. When this happens, we relax. And then, almost miraculously, we feel safe enough to open up like a flower bud in the warming sun. —John Prendergast, In Touch <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a>

janWe tend to instinctively avoid both physical and emotional pain. Who wants to feel worse? Yet when we realize that our pain is actually a message telling us to pay attention, we begin to approach our experience differently. —John Prendergast, In Touch: How to Tune In to the Inner Guidance of Your Body and Trust Yourself <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/pain" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pain</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/attention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#attention</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experience" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experience</a>

janThe path of distancing is well-worn and familiar: we judge ourselves or others, and then we attack, withdraw, or numb. These reactions are all variations of the classic defensive repertoire of fight, flight, or freeze. The path of welcoming our experience, of becoming intimate with it, is less familiar. While it seems riskier, it is far more rewarding. —John Prendergast, In Touch: How to Tune In to the Inner Guidance of Your Body and Trust Yourself <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiencing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiencing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiences" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiences</a>

janHow do you relate to your experience—particularly your more challenging or emotionally painful experiences? Do you welcome them, or do you try to distance yourself from them? Do you lean in, or do you lean away? Are you intimate with them or distant from them? —John Prendergast, In Touch: How to Tune In to the Inner Guidance of Your Body and Trust Yourself <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiences" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiences</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/experiencing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#experiencing</a>

janWhile some people are interested in having an out-of-body experience, many have never had a fully in-the-body experience, where they feel deeply at ease in their bodies and sense the body’s natural fluid, alive, and open way of being. —John Prendergast, In Touch: How to Tune In to the Inner Guidance of Your Body and Trust Yourself <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a>

janWe can have a felt sense of another person, a situation that we are in, or an internal state… …we can also sense into our connection with the whole of life. Not only is the body embedded in the emergent flow of life, but it also is an expression of this flow and has a sense of the source of this flow. …the body has a native sense of what is deeply true or real. … The far reach of felt sensing embraces everything, including our sense of knowing. …the direct and intuitive sensing of our deepest truth. —John Prendergast, In Touch: How to Tune In to the Inner Guidance of Your Body and Trust Yourself <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/feltsense" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#feltsense</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/aliveness" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aliveness</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/truth" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#truth</a>

janI originally trained in focusing when I was a graduate student in 1980. …I continue to informally use some of its principles and practices, particularly felt sensing and checking for resonance. Over time I have been surprised to discover the far reach of felt sensing. The body’s natural capacity to holistically sense goes far beyond its ability to sense a specific problem or situation. —John Prendergast, In Touch: How to Tune In to the Inner Guidance of Your Body and Trust Yourself <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/focusing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#focusing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/feltsense" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#feltsense</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/resonance" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#resonance</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a>

janOnce we feel a sense of inner resonance, it is important that we act on it. … If we fail to act on our inner knowing, it will recede into the background. … We need to test our inner knowing to be sure of its accuracy. This requires honesty and vulnerability. —John Prendergast, In Touch <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/innerknowing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#innerknowing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/feltsense" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#feltsense</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a>

janAt first, consulting your body usually requires a certain degree of quiet and focus. In time it will become second nature. Attunement does not happen overnight. Just as it takes time to learn to play a musical instrument, it takes time and attention to listen deeply to the body’s subtle guidance. —John Prendergast, In Touch <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a>

janListening to our body often means bringing our attention down and in—down from the forehead into the trunk of our body and its interior. Attention to the interior of the body is like sunshine and water for a plant—everything that it touches grows. —John Prendergast, In Touch <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/intouch" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intouch</a>
