A Tantric Understanding of Feelings

In Buddhism, Vedanā refers to the feeling realm,
the subtle sensations and vibrations of energy,
that unconsciously animate our emotional world.

The way we fear and misperceive them
is so ancient —
Deep cellular habits, or imprints
In both the personal and collective unconscious.

We did not arrive as blank slates.
This isn’t just childhood conditioning —
it’s the human experience we are all swimming in.

A Shift in Perspective

If you’re highly sensitive in the feeling body,
your sensitivity to this realm is heightened —
sensing what others avoid or can’t perceive.

Since we collectively fear and misperceive this realm,
you’re picking up what’s collectively exiled.

If you relate to these feelings as personal,
the intensity increases.

If, however, you welcome them as what is collective rejected,
not only does compassion arise, naturally,
but the whole system begins to settle.

For feelers, where intensity is relentless,
this isn’t just helpful — it’s radically transformative.

Tantric teachings are often called hidden.
not because they are secret —
but because they require a refined sensitivity to be fully received.

That sensitivity can be developed over a lifetime of practice —
but if you’re highly sensitive in the feeling body
these teachings usually come as a profound relief.

They offer maps of exquisite specificity,
guiding you through the depths,
beyond therapy or meditation. 

And perhaps most surprisingly,
it’s in the moments of the most raw intensity,
that these maps truly came alive.

Opening gateways to new dimensions of being,
and learning to navigate intensity in paradoxical
and profoundly soothing ways.

A Tantric approach to feelings
doesn’t just make sense to feelers —
it re-writes everything, experientially.

Resting in the Feminine Ground

One of the great gifts of feeling sensitivity
is the ability to rest into the nourishing depths of Being —
made more visible by contrast with intensity.

This isn’t about escaping feelings,
but receiving them differently —
from within the vibrational realm of essence.

This is receptivity — the soft,
feminine waters of consciousness we’ve forgotten.
Here, relaxation and concentration arise effortlessly.

Instead of Soothing high activation into sensation,
we soften and receive them with ease.
Beneath perception, insight is illuminated, in the body.

Every vibration we’ve feared can be received here.
Compassion doesn’t need to be cultivated,
it arises naturally, as a vibration of love.
With it, comes profound self-forgiveness. 

As we soften into our humanness,
we begin to taste wholeness,
and the deeply replenishing ground of Being.

 Learning to shift from high activation to deep calm —
within an hour or two, consistently —
not only brings insight, but is life-changing.

It builds trust ourselves, our inner world, and life itself —
even in struggle.

But intensity holds a deeper gift.

When we meet it through story or personal history,
it not only intensifies,
but we circle endlessly at the tip of the iceberg.

Paradoxically, intense states makes it easier
to drop the narrative altogether —
so we can work with Emotional embodiment and integration

as pure vibration,
beneath the perception of what we think it is.

This opens direct access to the unconscious —
and the subtle, foundational layers of our being.
