Intersectional Mysticism Worksheet 2: Emotional Work
Tuning In, Intuition, Emotional Relationality, Tuning Up
Image Description:
A white page hand lettered in black calligraphy and coloured with various oil pastels entitled ‘Intersectional Mysticism Part 2: Spirit - Chapter 9: Emotional Work’ and 4 main sections (Tuning In, Intuition, Emotional Relationality, Tuning Up), separated by various shapes in different background colours - terra cotta, lilac, rose, purple, peach and yellow. Simple line drawings (a bug, an analog TV, both with antennae; a music staff with treble clef with ‘Where does it hurt?’ written between the lines) accompany the words. A segmented circle with each segment a different colour invites participants to make their own feelings wheel. The address of the book’s website intersectionalmysticism.one is visible in the upper right hand of the sheet.
Tuning In
Breathwork and meditation as core practices!
Sit with objects you expect to generate strong reactions (positive or negative).
Name the emotions that arise and where in the body they sit.
Use an emotions/feelings wheel, or complete your own.
There are no right or wrong answers.
Intuition
Try:
journaling
calling a friend
doodling or collaging
making noise
Emotional Relationality
Ask:
What is my typical relationship to conflict?
How (un)comfortable am I with vulnerability?
How aware am I of mirroring?
