It's very interesting to watch, feel, listen to how and where my body reacts to things. This awareness is a result of the energy work therapy I am undergoing.
Most often is the reaction of hunger - an actual, physical feeling of "I'm hungry" as opposed to "I'd like to eat." Of course, the "hungry" feeling is a trick, a smokescreen. Most of the time I am not really hungry, but one of any number of other things - frightened, lonely, unsure.
Sad things, I tend to feel low down in my abdomen.
Very angry things, deep down just below my wishbone (where the ribs come together).
Today I went home at lunch to help Ken figure out what was wrong with the accounting. We are still not sure of the answer, but my reaction was to be unable to breathe deeply, and to develop a terrible "crick" in my neck.
Ken, somehow, was not troubled at all, and gave me his standard advice, "Get down off the ceiling." Gee, thanks.
