A few thoughts on: Feelings (continued!)
Some feelings are in our brains and some feelings are in our bodies. Some feelings are thoughts. And some feelings are sensations. For example, the pain I have in my knees is a sensation in my body, I guess. The frustration in my mind, the pain in my regret that I have to work with this physical pain in my knees -- that is more of a feeling in my mind. Really, though, I don't think there's too much distinction between feelings in the brain and feelings in the body. That may be how we distinguish or perceive what's happening -- we think of feelings as coming from our brains or bodies, of being in our minds or physical being, of happening to us or being us. Sometimes these distinctions are useful, sometimes they’re not. I invite you to be open to what you think --and feel.

Be moving, be true, be you!
