Lesson: Finding and Using the Sensations
- Stand up normally.
- Pay attention to your feet.
- Imagine or intend to sit down. Do not actually sit. This is a query. You are asking your body a question.
- Notice how your feet feel. Do they feel grounded, like you’re anchored to the ground by your heels? Do they feel energetic, like moving your feet around or wiggling your toes?
Practice: Asking Questions
Repeat this with different body positions until you are comfortable with it. You are looking to identify and get used to:
- A positive response. In a positive response, the sensation in your feet will move towards your toes, encouraging you to move.
- A negative response. In a negative response, the sensation in your feet will move towards your heel, encouraging you to stay in place.
Now try it with food. Pay attention to your feet and intend to pick up a glass of water. The sensation will move in the same way to provide a positive or negative response. It doesn’t matter what body part you use for what question you ask your body. Questions feel conceptually more natural for body parts that would be directly involved in performing the action, but if you can find the positive and negative responses in a body part, you can use that body part to ask your body about any action.
