By using the feeling flavor technique we focus on observing and noting particular specific emotions as we experience them in our moment to moment experience.
It can be very enlightening to bring such a focused awareness to this part of ourselves. We are often aware of big emotions, but perhaps not aware of the subtler ones or combinations of feelings that we experience.This information is helpful in self knowledge and with it the opportunity to see what we are feeling, how it changes and how it drives certain behaviors.
1. Bring your awareness to the area or areas where you experience emotional sensations in the body. We call this "Feel in."
2. See if you can name by noting with a label(word) a particular feeling that you are experiencing and where. Example: happiness on the face. Fear in the belly .....gratitude chest and fear in back.
you might be aware of experiencing more than one emotion at a time.That is fine . Just include it with "and" .If there is no emotional feel then there will be a label of "feel rest" and enjoy the rest. Guessing is perfectly ok
Every couple of seconds check in and label your experience unless it disappears first and then you can note "gone."
