Are you talking about how you feel emotionally? Most of the time when people are asked how they are feeling their reply is based on how they'rs feeling emotionally, not how they're feeling bodily. I guess untill something brings our bodily feelings to our attention, like pain or some other form of discomfort or pleasure, our feeling sense is more or less ignored. We rarely, if ever, sit with it and just observe.
I expected you to be familiar with body scan exercises and aware of the benefits. A couple of years ago someone recommended a really interesting book...Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine. He looks into the feeling sense and explores how it can be used to help anyone who is suffering from the results of unprocessed trauma, claiming that is most of us......
"Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed."
We tend to think only about emotions when we're asked how are we feeling. It's quite rare for people to examine our true feelings- the feeling sense. How often do you sit in stillness and examine how you are feeling from head to toe? This kind of 'body scan' can be very beneficial and looking deep into the feeling sense is now being used to help people suffering from trauma. The feeling sense is a very powerful and often underestimate part of what guides us through life.
The parents true role is not to give love to the child but to 'be love' for the child, there's a massive difference.
*"In teaching a child that they need a parents love, we teach dependency, one of the foundations of lifelong suffering . In showing a child how to be love, which is how to be thmselves, we build the foundation of freedom."
Yes, true love, sometimes called unconditional love, agape or even disenterested love means to give love freely without wanting or expecting anything in return. I like this short description of genuine love....
"Genuine human love, which, as St. Francis De Sales calls it, is “disinterested love” and it is loving the other as another self, or willing the best for the other and choosing in accordance with that will. This is the only kind of love that is freely given. This love is not a feeling, but an act of the will. It is not an emotion - although it may be accompanied by emotions."
Not whinging, just stating a fact. The forums are a pale shadow of what they were when I first joined. There were many more members posting many more threads, regular get togethers and a real sense of community.
Natural immunity does occur after contracting the virus and it would seem that immunity is longer lasting than the immunity gained from the vaccination.
An in-depth and up-to-date study into the available scientific figures on natural versus vaccine immunity. There really are some discrepancies between different country's scientific papers. Around twenty minutes of valuable information.
