The Ability To Feel 

Feelings are an important part of human lives.

But sometimes you need to first learn how to feel your feelings before you can benefit from them.

The human body is the most complex and sophisticated entity on this planet.

Millions and millions of processes are associated with it.

One such very important process is that related to our thoughts, sensations, feelings, & emotions.

These functions of the human body belong to the same class but they get increasingly more intense.

This is to say that sensations are more intense and thus more concrete than thoughts and so on.

Among these, feelings hold an important place.

They tell us how we feel about various things, people, and situations in our lives.

If you can feel the right thing, it may help you in doing various tasks better.

For example, if you can easily feel that you are feeling cold, you can wear a jacket to protect yourself.

Similarly, if you can feel what’s going on within you or in your life, you can make the right decisions for yourself.

But many people are not able to feel these feelings properly.

They cannot feel the right thing which makes them make big mistakes in their lives.

How can this be corrected?

How to feel your feelings?

How To Feel Your Feelings

Let’s find out how to feel your feelings.

Stay Clear of Negativity

The first way to learn how to feel your feelings is to avoid negativity.

There are various negative feelings like fear, jealousy, anger, insecurity, guilt, shame, hate, and sadness.

These negative feelings curb your ability to feel the real feelings.

They close you and your mind which doesn’t let you feel the truth.

And because of this, you make decisions that are sub-optimal or even counterproductive for you.

So, to feel your real feelings, you have to stay clear of these pseudo or negative feelings.

To keep these negative feelings at bay, you can do meditation & Yoga.

The calming and balancing influences of meditation and Yoga will rid you of many of these negative feelings.

You can also try positive affirmations, self-talk, and journaling to keep yourself away from these negative feelings.

Staying clear of negative feelings would increase your ability and the chances to feel your true feelings.

Do Not Get Influenced By People’s Feelings

The next way to learn how to feel your feelings is to not get influenced by other people’s feelings.

Most people tend to ignore what they feel.

They listen to what other people suggest to them based on their feelings.

When you do not pay attention to your feelings, they tend to get weaker or suppressed increasingly.

It puts you in a vicious circle where listening to others weakens your feelings which in turn makes you listen to other people even more.

Finally, you reach a place where you cannot feel your feelings.

But the good news is feelings can only be suppressed and you cannot become incapable of them.

You are a human being which makes you capable of feelings till you are alive.

What you have to do is stop making decisions and stop living your life based on the feelings of other people.

When you do this, your feelings will start coming to the fore and you will be able to feel your feelings once again.

Do Not Impose Feelings On Yourself

The next way to learn how to feel your feelings is to not impose on yourself what you want to feel.

When you are free from negativity and the feelings of other people, you now have to free yourself from your artificial feelings.

People like to stimulate feelings within themselves according to what they want to feel.

But often these feelings are not correct and also not right for them.

So, it may work in the short run for you but it also means that you are taking a big risk which may give you mental troubles in the future.

In addition to this, because the feelings you stimulated within yourself were not correct, you might also make wrong decisions in life.

Thus, it would help if you did not impose artificial or forced feelings of yours on yourself.

Your feelings are best left natural, spontaneous, and real.

Stay Silent

The next way to learn how to feel your feelings is to stay silent.

When you are too talkative, loud, or noisy, you cannot feel your feelings fully or too well.

It is like your mind and body are giving you messages but you are ignoring them because you are busy with something externally.

Thus, you need to become silent and attentive to be able to feel your feelings.

When you are silent, the naturally generated feelings flow within you nicely, thus making you feel them wholly.

It lets you connect to your intelligence in a better way.

Some gurus also have the opinion that when you are silent you can feel not only through your mind but also through your whole body.

Silence heightens your ability to feel your feelings.

Steady Your Mind

The next way to learn how to feel your feelings is to steady your mind.

The seed of your feelings gets generated in your mind and then these feelings travel to different parts of your body.

This means that you need to have a steady mind if you want to feel your feelings better.

If your mind isn’t steady but in a chaotic or panic mode, you won’t be able to hold on to your feelings.

Your body would not receive these feelings as they will get trapped in your mind itself. 

At best you will receive “broken” or “damaged” feelings which may push you further into stress.

Thus, to feel your feelings, your mind needs to be steady so that the doors for your feelings to travel smoothly to your whole body remain open.

When this happens, you will be able to feel your feelings better.

Let Natural Feelings Rise 

The last and final way to learn how to feel your feelings is to let the natural thoughts and feelings rise within you.

When you have removed all the obstacles in your way to feel your feelings, you now just need to stay natural.

Your real feelings will be generated in your mind based on the external situations you are in.

These feelings will then travel through your body which will let you feel your true feelings through your whole body.

These feelings would be 100% pure, natural, and real.

Thus the quality of your natural feelings would be supreme which will let you understand yourself, your surroundings, and your life as they are.

It will let you make the right decisions and choices for yourself.

When natural thoughts start rising within you, you will be able to feel them.

This means that you have learned how to feel your feelings.

Let Your Feelings Flow

Finding out how to feel your feelings is a difficult but necessary journey one needs to take.

The ability to feel is nature’s precious gift to us.

We should not let anything degrade or block it.

So, keep them pure, real, and flowing within yourself at all times.

When you can feel your feelings, you also become able to feel the self-love within you.

It can help you tap your self-love and hence help you love yourself.

And when you are capable of real feelings and self-love, life starts seeming like heaven on earth.
