One must go to that place where there are not words but only feeling. At first there may be nothing there until a felt sense forms.

Every moment, no matter how bad or good, is unfolding open. The hope for personal success and positive emotion is most fascinating when you have forgotten, or have yet to discover, the endless opening you are.

Wait quietly for fresh answers to come from the inside, from the bodily felt sense of whatever situation is troubling you.

Often a felt sense is unclear at first, hard to articulate, requiring fresh metaphors and possibly images or gestures to capture its quality.
