## Positions

1. 1

2. 2
   ### What I'm Feeling
   Question: What am I really feeling?
   Your genuine emotional state. The feelings that may be beneath numbness, confusion, or overwhelm.
3. 3
   ### What I'm Experiencing
   Question: What am I actually experiencing?
   The reality of your current experience. Body sensations, environment, the truth of this moment.
