Emotions Are Nothing More Than Sensations

Emotions may seem abstract when you don't feel because chances are you're conceptualizing of emotions. Emotions are nothing more than sensations that have been named. When we say we have anxiety, what does that mean? It means that inside we feel this contained racing sensation. We may feel heat somewhere in our body. Those are sensations that occur within the body. One of the reasons people can't feel is that they conceptualize of the idea of anxiety but do not relate to emotions in terms of sensations that take place in their body. To reverse this, you have to commit to the practice of bringing your focus back to the body.
