Usually we identify with one or two senses more than with others. Feeling, physical experience, is thought to be connected with the body which whom identification can be very strong and for many of us it is the strongest identification.
It can be a bit trickier to have a close look because thoughts might feel rather real about this topic.
As usual looking like a hawk and precision will help.
Actually, I don't - it is the sensation of the bum, upper legs and back touching the sofa that I experience.
There are sensations. Wouldn’t it just be it? Sensation?
What about “bum, upper legs and back touching the sofa”?
Can a “bum” be felt? Can there be a direct experience of a “bum”? Or of a “Hinterteil”, of a “derriere” or “culo”?
These are all words for the same thing, different languages.
Why do you ‘feel’ a “bum” and not a “derriere”?
Play around with these different words and have a look.
It 'felt' like it was bigger than me. Not just an individual sensation. But I am willing to admit that this is probably a thought!
Thoughts are sneaky little thingies. So when you look do you just find a sensation, or a sensation and several thoughts or only thoughts?
Since there is no separation there can’t really be an “it” which is bigger than a “me”, “it” and “me” would have to be two different things for one being bigger than the other, right?
While the sensation, that what was felt might be accurate, “explaining” thoughts might not…….
Ponder about this and check sensations again and again in a leisurely way and have a “keen eye” on the appearing thoughts.
