Yummy...

When I say something looks or is yummy, I'm not always talking about food. So what is the word to feeling relationship? How does a flower, hug or a sunset feel yummy?

First I investigate the feeling of yummy. For me, it's an open, warm desire type feeling which is localized behind my belly button. It feels good.

Then I look at where in my life I feel that way. What people, places, situations and things feel yummy? Am I in a certain mood? I notice how broad the range of yummy things there are. I also notice that when something feels yummy, I feel closer to it. I feel one with it.

What I like about the word yummy, is that it is such a "feeling" word. If yummy doesn't work for you then use another "feeling" word. Ask yourself questions about this feeling. Investigating feeling and what has these feelings shift is important to me. I have all these "feelings" and when I'm not being aware of them, they control me. When I get curious about what my feelings are and what triggers them, I am in a position to manage my feelings. I use them to enhance my experience, to avoid emotional patterns, to be empowered in my day to day life.

When I act instead of react life is a whole new place.
