To feel or not to feel?

When I started working with this approach to the body almost 30 years ago, the holistic world did not exist in Italy.  
It is a world that has opened up a lot and, unfortunately, has attracted a lot of superficiality.
This aspect does not belong to me, but its spread has meant that certain terms and a certain type of language have begun to enter into circulation.

So what has happened?

That after some time, it no longer sounds so strange to talk or hear about perception, listening, feeling. It is also part of a certain lexicon that I use here with you, in my Agora. 

However, I have noticed something.
It is good that certain terms are part of our common usage, and it is also easier for me to work and teach if these terms are now accepted. 
The problem is that we are almost never inclined to truly feel. 
Very often, rather than entering into feeling, people tend to visualize, remaining trapped in the mental dimension.
So, using those terms stimulates the imagination, focusing on the meaning rather than the concrete value of the term.

It seems complicated, but to understand it better, let's try an experiment together:
If I asked you, “Do you feel your knees when you walk?”, what would you answer?

You would probably say no. 
You might think: why on earth should I feel my knees? They don't hurt. 

There you go. 
That's exactly what a lady who did a healing program with me told me. 
She said she didn't feel her knees when walking. 
Why? Because for her, feeling meant perceiving pain, a symptom, discomfort. 

This is where I'm going with this. Feeling doesn't just mean having a bad sensation, something different or distorted from the norm, from our usual sense. 
But feeling means realizing that you are a body, always. 
Don't imagine it, don't think it, feel it!
