Thank you, Larisa for another great article.

I have found recently that decisions work best if I use my body as a sounding board. For example: I know where is a good place to live, or work, by how I feel when I check it out. It used to be more of a head thing: evaluating, judging, comparing. Now it is wow! I feel alive and energized here. Or, I am reminded I have a sore arm, my throat is closing off, it smells perfumey, or my stomach hurts. I guess that’s why they call it “gut instinct”. My guts do tell me what is good for me if I listen.

Wow. I love where you are taking the conversation. Great questions. I wonder… What might you discover if you begin to pay attention to sensations as you make decisions? If you play with this, let me know. I’m curious to hear what you notice.

This reminds me of something I have questioned for a long time. How do we make decisions? I would like to think it is by analysing the pros and cons and coming up with the best logical choice. Apparently this is not the case and instead can lead to immobilization. I wonder if the sense of knowing that a person can have is sensation or if liking one option over another is part of the same spectrum of sensation? If so can a person learn to recognize it? In other words does the body tell us what we really want if we listen?

I love this. Thanks for another awesome e-zine and post. I’ve decided to add ‘speaking sensation’ to my morning ritual this week (and maybe permanently).
