In today’s episode Lorella Ricci, my beloved teacher of many years when it comes to navigating inner realms, joins me in a conversation where we sink down, through the patterns of repressing seemingly unwanted sensations, and into what we, in this conversation, happen to describe as a fog, a primordial energy, that can help us feel those seemingly unwanted sensations, especially in those moments when they are too intense for us to feel alone. And we notice wondering: Can we really allow ourselves to come into full presence of our current experience and allow THAT to show us or guide us, even when we record ourselves with the intention of making that recording public?We ask ourselves the question that has become like a daily mantra for Lorella which is: what’s the feeling I don’t wanna feel? And we explore why the eff we would wanna feel, and possibly even reveal, feelings that we don’t wanna feel. We speak into how some of these sensations that move through us are constantly pushed away and judged without us necessarily even being aware of that happening. How a conversation that we had had the day before today’s recording was made, had been impacted by such pushing away and judging of sensations. And the different quality of relating that opens up, both within us and between us, when both the hardening of protection and the suppressed sensation can be supported by that fog-like sensation I mentioned before.As I say this I notice wondering, what happens for you, when I say that we can push away internal sensations without even being aware that we are doing that…what is it then that we don’t get to feel? What is it that we possibly never get to experience, without even knowing it?At more than one point during the conversation it gets viscerally known to me how these types of sensation-based conversations engage a different way of listening that for me can feel dormant in a more conceptual type of conversation. How it feels almost like stepping into a forum, listening to the elders share their wisdom through a very different language than the one we are used to: through the language of sensations.Another thing that comes up is how those seemingly unwanted sensations, that we so often push away, when we don’t interpret them and we feel them with the support of that fog, they are delicious to hang out with. That when we try to put a label on them we are staying in the terrain of trying to figure them out from the conceptual mind, and how that pulls us up and away from the fog or the felt sense of belonging and support and into separateness, into the fragment. But what is that sensation fog that can support us to feel these unwanted sensations all about? Yeah, what is that fog like sensation all about…In today’s episode we don’t aim to intellectually understand what that fog like sensation is, nor do we intend to respond to the question asked at the beginning of the conversation by searching for an answer. Instead we spiral down through the body, and we let the sensations help us respond. The invitation is for you to spiral down together with us and to then, with your awareness rested into that felt sense of support underneath, listen to Lorella share, at the end of the conversation about a hidden doorway, a fast track, to getting down there. You will also hear how that hidden doorway, for Lorella and I during today’s conversation, is connected to you, the listener, whether you do stay until the end or not.Titti Paulina: www.tittipaulina.com You can contact me via email at [email protected] and you will find the link to suscribe to my newsletter here.
