If someone would have told me at the beginning of my journey to just get out of my head and drop into my body, I would not have known how to do that. My mind was my safety blanket and I had avoided my emotions by escaping to my mind. Instead of fighting the mind, bring the mind on the journey when you start befriending your emotions. When we get good instructions on HOW to make the journey from analyzing to feeling, we feel safer to do so.
This episode is the recording of a Q&A session about emotions and feeling where we discuss episodes 7-9. I answer questions around resistance with feeling, staying in the observer, depression, and if it’s possible to do a happy dance when anxiety shows up.

Questions that I address in this episode:
- Resistance towards feeling that shows up as numbness or lack of feeling in the body.
