In the words of my wise friend Duija:
"Culturally we are taught to avoid having awareness in our body and so avoid 'uncomfortable' feelings. Instead we learn to be in our head, convincing ourselves that the person who brought this feeling up is bad or wrong. This is a shame because the more we have a yes to our feelings and stay with them, the easier it is to digest them and the more we can be authentically in the moment with what is."
