"How do I become more embodied?" is a question I hear often, and one that can quietly assume there's somewhere else we ought to be. What if the answer isn't another technique, but a different relationship with the question itself?

There is a moment in every somatic session where something begins to gather inside. It is not a clear thought or an emotion we can easily name, but more like something in between. Something that lives deeper in the body and that asks for attention in a different way. American psychologist and philosopher Eugene Gendlin called this the Felt Sense (Gendlin, 1981).
