I'm not really aware of my body.
Can you be more specific?
I'm in 'therapy' right now for this problem, more or less. And it's working, I'm happy to say.
The therapist says that there is too much energy in my mind, and not enough in my body...
Is that how you feel?
have you consider outsourcing your physical awareness?
get laid
It didn't help.
i was joking...
that's being said, i can relate - growing up i had a therapist who pointed out the same problem in me. he taught me a guided meditation technique i use to this day (actually the most helpful thing he ever did): you close your eyes, focus on your breathing and follow the oxygen as an entry point to visualize a journey throughout your body (brain included), commanding what you see along the way. and it works really well for me - i can feel muscles tensing when i am focused on them, fingers tingling, etc'. it heightens your sense of connection and familiarity with your body.
I don't feel energy, just more "presence" or consciousness in my mind. I put just enough energy out into the world to function.
What is preventing you from putting more energy out in the world?
Not aware like that is is out of wack? or that it just disappears completely for a while?
I can relate to it being out of wack.... tend to have it all-or-nothing ("no I actually didn't realize it was only 60 degrees in the room" "I'm so cold! Someone get me blanket NAO!") Unfortunately lately it has been more overawareness.
But I'm not too sure why it would just not be there at all. Maybe too much internal focus? Dissociation-ishness?
Not sure where to work from without some examples...
I experience this to an extent.
- I'm not really aware of the temperature unless it's extremely cold or extremely hot, and people often say, "Aren't you freezing?"
- Like bologna, I'm not often aware of whether medicines are working.
- I don't experience changes in how I feel based on certain foods like a lot of people. Like, I don't notice caffeine having any effect either when I have it or don't. I don't understand when people stay away from certain foods because of how they might make them feel, like "Oh X food makes me gassy" or "X food makes me want a nap".
