Mining Sensation for Meaning
Thoughts are words or images
We hear words or see them as though they are written out
We see colors and shapes that our brain interprets
Thoughts feel intense or threatening when there is an associated sensation or energy in our body
When we are able to stay present with sensation, we watch the associated thoughts
What does it mean? Is it here to hurt me? To protect or warn me?
We become more able to tolerate and even be interested in feelings and sensations in our body. We become curious.
