The Space Between Sensation and the Story

The Space Between Sensation and the Story

This talk explores the powerful and often-overlooked moment between what we feel and what we think about what we feel. Rooted in both Buddhist insight and somatic inquiry, we'll examine how raw sensation arises, how the mind instantly weaves a narrative around it, and how those stories—when left unexamined—can calcify into beliefs that shape our identity and behavior. With mindful attention, this space between sensation and story becomes fertile ground for transformation, offering a doorway into clarity, compassion, and inner freedom.

You'll learn how to recognize and decode the language of bodily sensation, investigate the stories you habitually tell yourself, and uncover the often-hidden beliefs that reinforce suffering. Through guided reflection, vivid examples, and practical teachings, this talk will show you how to rest in the liberating space of awareness—where choice, wisdom, and healing are possible.
