Everyone responds differently to different “teachers”, so you may watch that video and feel it’s a bunch of bullshit. For you it may be.

Generally just sitting and being present with what you feel physically in the body and just allowing it is very powerful.Sometimes it feels like you want to die, or the worst anxiety, other times great pleasure or calmness.

Most of my life I’ve lived in my mind, trying to think through “emotions”, while in the last year I started feeling them.. I know emotions are meant to be felt..what?

As they are felt, without judgement, as part of the “movie” that is our conscious experience, our body learns that no, it’s not about to die, the world isn’t going to end, and I do have the resources to be present and just feel what’s happening.

The feelings are then “digested”, and we can continue our life, thankful for the new data that comes to consciousness awareness through feelings.

Some people may say feeling feelings is weak, and really tough people just power through. I’m starting to know that having the courage to actually feel all the body is capable of feeling takes real courage.

Viapssana mediation is powerful.

I could probably talk your ear off. I hope this is helpful.
