Ahhh my old friend Mental Feel. There’s been times when my brain has been so darned busy, it would have been impossible to get to sleep if I hadn’t cultivated a habit of reading myself to sleep as a child. The gift that this way of feeling is when we have a handle on it is… picture me shaking my head with wonder… we really can solve the problems of the world and feel good while we’re at it.
Just like all the other ways of feeling, we feel our connection to others through both the creative, imaginative, problem solving side and the chronic worrying and the constant imagining of catastrophes that can be our Mental Feel in overwhelm.
Are you curious to know if Mental Feel is part of your natural talent for feeling yourself and others? Is that feeling of curiosity coming easily yet? Some of you might enjoy a different way of expressing curiosity. “Hmmm… I wonder if Mental Feel could be part of my talent for feeling myself and others?” Just that soft wondering…
