Personally when I experience “unease” it can take me awhile to remember the most useful way forward. A trigger for me is if I am in a group or one other person even, and I start to imagine the sensations in my body of unease are somehow external to me. Like they are something or somebody’s ‘fault’. When that idea arises then, if I am paying attention enough to notice it, I am reminded that I am the only consciousness experiencing this slice of self.
The next step requires some bravery. Admitting a sense of unease can be challenging but for me so far has always been helpful. It’s like take a shovel out and digging beneath the top layer of dirt to get to the treasure below the surface.
Many years ago when I trained as a hypnotherapist, I used to help people connect to their unease by asking them questions about the feeling. What shape is it? Where is it in your body? What color is it? Ask it what it needs. On the face of it these may sound like mad questions but they always worked. Once people spent some time bringing the feeling into focus they could often unravel the story that was holding the feeling in place, giving it shape and color.
I can’t imagine being in a work meeting and asking these questions but maybe I could try it!
