“One of the greatest lessons I learned was how to feel the physical component of emotion. Joy was a feeling in my body. Peace was a feeling in my body. I thought it was interesting that I could feel when a new emotion was triggered. I could feel new emotions flood through me and then release me. I had to learn new words to label these ‘feeling’ experiences, and most remarkable, I learned that I had the power to choose whether to hook into a feeling and prolong its presence in my body, or just let it quickly flow right out of me.”
by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph. D.
When Jill Bolte Taylor suffered a stroke she had to relearn living in consciousness, but her awareness shifted so profoundly that she couldn’t go back to being the way she had been before the stroke. Noticing how much control we have, how much power over our thoughts and emotions, makes us truly empowered individuals. CHOOSE what you think, feel, believe!
