The body, however, isn’t the least bit interested in unpacking the narrative, or labeling sensations as “positive” or “negative” or even “past,” “present,” or “future.” Sensations are neutral, nothing more than energy; in fact, the word emotions comes from the Latin word emotere, which means “to move out of.” The body’s job is to keep the energy moving and the channels clear. All it wants to do is to find or create safety in the moment; it is not interested in, or even capable of, processing or making sense of anything.
