We can get caught holding onto a feeling longer than we'd like. Sometimes the state of being without this feeling is so foreign to us that even a welcome invitation to put it down is like being invited to swim on a sidewalk. We can't find the pool or the lake to get into, and we just don't know the way out of the feeling that we're in. And sometimes something inexplicable motivates us and we act from a place that is not conscious and maybe not even subconscious, not known or even unknown, but rather nameless, nothing, and alchemical. Suddenly, we find ourselves in the ocean and the feeling is gone, gloriously and mysteriously. Later back on land, we may yearn for that oceanic feeling and find ourselves all over again ignorant of how to get to the water. What helps you remember what it's like in your body when you put down a difficult emotion?
