11. Being HUMAN requires FEELING
from Higher You with Montana Aiello Hosted by Montana Aiello
Our minds are meaning making machines. The statement "I am anxious" implies that we are the anxiety and that the anxiety is us. Shifting that statement to "I am experiencing the sensation of anxiety" creates space between you and the anxiety. You are simply the awareness that is experiencing the sensation of anxiety. You are not the sensations that you feel. Sensation is the language of the body. By getting to a place of neutrality and safety with the emotions/sensations we feel, our life gets so much easier because we're no longer resisting the emotions/sensations that we are experiencing. Numbing one emotion is numbing all emotion. We can't pick and choose what emotion we don't want to feel. I invite you to adopt these two mantras "Everything is happening for me in perfect timing. And I am never given anything I can't handle." These two mantras help me each and every day. At the end of this episode, I teach you another tool called sensation association. Step 1: Identify all of the stories that come along with experiencing a sensation. Step 2: Write down the polar opposite stories that you would like to embody one day. Step 3: What's the middle ground here? I am in the process of feeling safe to experience anxiety. I am sending you so much love.
