An Online Class Facilitated by Peter Afford
Part of The Focusing Highlights Series
We Associate The Felt Sense With The Body, But Neuroscience Places It In The Brain. How Can This Be So?
This Highlight class will explore how body and brain come together to generate the felt sense and therefore why, paradoxically, both experiential and scientific views are valid. The scientific view takes us beyond the felt sense as always being a physical sensation into the inner world of the right hemisphere that links the body with the outside world.
Intuition, imagination, inspiration, the quiet thoughts and feelings at the edge of awareness, and the implicit aspects of relating and communicating arise here – and are easily overlooked by the left hemisphere.
