Operating a body is, as weird as this may sound, a very physical and practical thing. You can only get so far by talking. You can only get so far by thinking.

So when you are in dire straits, it's important that you make it as easy as possible.

For example: you have a lot of tension in your body.

What do you do?

You soften your whole body, especially around your stomach. By doing this, keeping your belly soft and relaxed, emotions can go through, and your whole body goes into the lowest gear.

This is surprisingly hard. I think I see most people running around in a gear that's too high, which is fine, as long as you know how to loosen it up.

When you constantly suppress an emotion, for instance, it's like tightening a knot with every pump of your heart. You grasp the emotion super fast when it comes up. Unlearning that and not controlling it is hard. It takes trust in your own body.
