Analyse versus
Feeling. M'reen
These thoughts and
feelings were prompted by someone’s Social Media comment.
I think my photo
shows aspects of balance, skill, support and wonder of growing
Firstly I need to define what I mean by Analyse and
Feeling,
that is I need to understand the (apparent )
difference between the two from my perspective
and in doing that it may give me an insight into the
perspective of others.
I think (therefore I am?) that to analyse is to use
your head (as if it was not part of your whole being?)
That to analyse somehow makes you less able to ‘feel’
and that to ‘feel’ enables you to empathize
with others at a deep level of understanding and so
are warmer and less threatening.
Why do I feel the need to understand my feelings about
these words?
Why do I think about my perception of these words?
The prior sentence came intuitively and the second
needed thinking about, but most likely one will appeal to you and the other will feel alien in the same way
that for some the glass is half full
or half empty. However, had my last words in the preceding sentence
been Think then I’m sure
that I would just have easily used Think as opposed to Feel.
Why do I need to analyse the energy behind the title
statement;
is it because of my experiences when I was twice
challenged in the past?
Firstly during Group Working tuition where we were
part of an Experiential group I was challenged
for Thinking as opposed to
Feeling . At the time I was a student counsellor and my fellow Group Working
students were practicing counsellors.
Secondly when I was challenged because I have the
ability to order my thoughts / understanding about
a situation and that was not an expected ability
amongst the other Life Coaching students.
I felt Different and Confused that it was not expected
that some others were able to do the same as I.
Yet we find it easy to accept that someone can create
music, see energy or understand calculus.
Surely I need to understand my differences so that I
can appreciate my energetic of felt sense responses and so be kinder or more empathic to myself and to
others?
How do I experience Analysis and how do I experience
Feeling?
To me Analysis is a process of thoughts that order
themselves into a hierarchy of understanding
in my head.
To me Feeling is an energy awareness in, on or around
my physical body.
The leading statement of this article has an energetic
charge for me due to the challenges described
above and my response to feeling Different and
Confused.
All words have an energy or belief (belief being the
building block of emotion). There is undoubtedly
an emotional response to a word in isolation or to a
word with inflection or in context with others.
As part of an experiment In the 1980s a TV programme
was aired whereby they asked you to record
how many words appeared at the top of the screen and
how many were at the bottom.
There was no ambiguity for me as the words were
definitely at the top or bottom of the screen when,
in fact, the words had been broadcast in the exact centre
of the screen; it was my emotional response
to the word that placed it in a negative or positive
position. That and the fact that the subconscious
had been instructed to respond.
Back to the two sentences:
To me Analysis is a
process of thoughts that order themselves into understanding in my head.
To me Feeling is an
energy awareness in, on or around my physical body.
To me Analysis is a process of thoughts that order
themselves into understanding in my head.
This means that the thought processes demand to be
ordered and understood to the best
of my current ability. This process often leads to
incorporating a ‘balance’ thought or to another awareness or to a connection previously not made.
If not released these thoughts will continue to
circulate in my head until the process of writing
and explaining all this to
myself provides that release or completes the Gestalt – the circle.
To me Feeling is an energy awareness in, on or around
my physical body.
This is equally strong and demanding but in a different
way as it doesn’t have words to describe it
because words are a function of the modern brain.
These energy feelings of, “Ah, there you are” are like
the sun coming out from behind a cloud
as now they can be consciously recognised, appreciated
and which if appropriate can be released;
with generally the opposite energy being welcomed back
into my system as this is powerfully completing.
Currently I’m studying a subject that is out of my
comfort zone and so challenges some of my beliefs,
it also taps into my dyslexic tendencies and also the
outcome of my study is important to me.
On occasions I’ve been aware of the energy of mild
panic which I’ve simply released
or I’ve been curious as to what that particular
feeling means to me before releasing .
I think that to trust your higher self / yourself /
your magnificent self- however you may describe that state and to just accept
that you can release that fear energy –and it will be OK is appropriate.
Sometimes I Think and Feel that it is important or
interesting to understand where the ‘panic’ comes from to the best of my ability; as understanding comes
before acceptance which comes before release.
Some people might use the word Forgiveness (of the
self or of others) but I prefer to use ‘release’
or the phrase “Letting go”.
P.S. I’ve noticed that if I’ve said that I don’t
necessarily agree fully with someone’s statement
on Social Media that my disagreement has been ignored.
Why?
I wonder; is Social Media an act of self
congratulatory navel gazing?
Or am I being a typical Sagittarian and throwing a
ball into the conversation
just to see how it bounces?
The thought presented itself as, “how’s your navel?”
I had to respond. Ha, ha, ha, spot on, someone has the
job to do!
It’s an ‘inny’ by the way, and therefore I think
inwardly, I also feel.
We could garner millions for a study of navels.
Innies working out from their self observation. The
extreme inny being an autistic person.
Outies working from a world perspective in towards
themselves. Dash I forget the term and who coined it, the extreme outy not
having an inner life but accruing status and value from some other,
a job, organisation or quest in life.
There must be flatties, but I’ve not heard of them.
People who are balanced at some point in the dualities of life, maybe only for a period but balanced
nonetheless.
Since writing the above I had a thought provoking experience as I felt very uncomfortable in a situation.
I rationalised this by using the phrase, 'drawing a line in the sand'. My line is not one of, 'I expect you to attack and will repel such an attack' nor is it 'if you get close then I shall defend' but one of comfortable balance with no need to attack or defend. The analogy of a rock upon which the sea may choose to dash itself against or comfortably caress while it remains a complete as a rock is the best I can do at the moment. This experience and the following thought has left me feeling calmer and more confident.
You can pre-read all your course
material for internal knowing.
I
can Turbo
Charge Read a
novel 6-7 times faster and remember what I’ve read.
I
can TCR an
instructional/academic book around 20 times faster and remember what I’ve
read.
