In this episode we delving into the vital “descent into the heart” and embracing the felt sense of our experiencing. We discuss that sometimes nondual teachings can inadvertently neglect the richness of the pre-conceptual felt reality.
We explore the challenge of meeting life's afflictive experiences beyond thoughts, discovering tools and language to navigate this uncharted territory. We touch on practices like softening, opening, receptivity, and curiosity as ways to meet the felt sense.
We use the world of Tarot symbolism, where the intellect of the Swords suit contrasts with the emotions and feeling of the Cups, the important differences between the mind and the felt sense.
We also point to the energy required to explore this realm—not one of pushing, but that of deepening, surrender, and tender softness.
We discuss the heart as a sensing organ of spiritual perception, where discomfort meets loving curiosity, and the heart emerges as the guiding force in the awakened experience.
Enjoy.
