Felt Sense: A tool for noticing + naming our body’s wisdom
Felt sense is a tool I work with often in my own life and in trauma-informed spiritual direction sessions.
A felt sense is not an emotion or feeling. It is held in our body. It’s our “sense” of the whole of something—a person, a situation, a piece of art, music, etc. It’s unclear at first, and is always present tense.
This 4-minute video is the best description I’ve found of the concept.
I created a guided felt-sense practice. You can listen to the practice here.
My name is Kirsten. I accompany folks as they attune to the inner experiences of life in spiritual direction, a place of presence and connection, a place to anchor briefly amid the chaos, a spacious place to be seen and known. To read more about this type of accompaniment, visit my offerings page.
