So proceed with this warning. Active feeling is fully feeling our feelings and allowing them to be there with no intention of getting rid of them or keeping them. This approach puts us in full contact with ourselves and allows us to naturally integrate and process our feelings. This integration and processing leads to our clearly seeing ourselves, others, and the world. Active Feeling is the basis of sound mental health and aliveness.
Active feeling has roots in mindfulness, focusing, and old school clearing.
Active Feeling stands at the middle way between suppressing our feelings and overidentifying with our feelings. Active Feeling is basically relaxed allowing where our bodies are relaxed and we take a non interfering stance with our feelings. This approach does not judge or evaluate our emotions and feelings. We simply experience our feelings in a relaxed state of allowing and greet them with acceptance, love, and a sense of that's the way it is. In noting that Active feeling resides between suppression and overidentification, we recognize that suppression is when a feeling emerges and we attempt to hold it down, deny it, medicate it away, avoid it, tense up, distract ourselves, talk about it, or get lost in daydreams.
