Do you "feel" in your mind or in your body?

Feelings have been universally accepted as an “affect”- for example, sadness, excitement, frustration, etc. But what if feelings included sensations? What if noticing the sensations will help you to begin to name some of your somatic (body) inner world experiences? Your body responds to your environment before your mind can conceive of your feelings. The organization of your body systems may be enhanced to a cooperative, organized function between various physical systems, which contributes to a sense of well-being. So when your body feels a sensation, it means that there is a dialogue attempting to take place between your mind and your body in an attempt to create a more cohesive relationship; once you get better at recognizing body sensations as a signal of the potential for coherence, the relationship between your mind and your body improves the feeling of connectedness. To “notice” body sensations and begin to understand your body sensations as a path toward the mind and the body to align and work together more harmoniously.
