The feeling of unease is not a lack, but a sign of growth

Understanding and realization
are born within the body first.

—

It cannot be put into words.
I cannot explain it well.

Are there moments when you feel such unease?

That is
neither a lack of ability nor a lack of sense.

Rather—
it is a sensation that appears more strongly when you are growing.

The true nature of feelings that cannot be put into words

Even without being conscious of it,
the body moves naturally.

But the moment you try to
“explain it,”

• words get stuck
• the flow stops
• an awkward “pause” is created.

This discomfort
does not easily disappear even if you try to erase it.

Rather,
it appears more strongly while you are “in the middle” of deepening your understanding.

Understanding happens in the body first

In my 28 years in the field of bodywork and training,
I have seen countless movements and sensations.

What I am convinced of there is that

understanding and realization
are born within the body first.

Words always come later.

The reason you cannot put it into words
is not because you are immature.

It is just that—
the “shelf of words” to place that sensation on
has not been prepared yet.

Unease is the shadow of growth

Experience comes first.
Words come later.

Even so, as you accumulate them,
at some moment,

the unease that had been building up until now
turns into words that perfectly match your “current understanding.”

—The moment of clarity will surely come.

Therefore,
unease is not a lack,
but a shadow that reflects growth.

How to deal with unease

“I want to put it into words quickly”
“I am no good because I cannot explain it”

There is no need to be that impatient.

Words are something that
naturally emerge as a “result” of
bodily understanding.

For now, it is just
a time to carve experience and sensation into your body.

Even while carrying that unease,
it is okay to move forward.

(Honestly, it is not a pleasant feeling,
but you will get used to it gradually.)

—

Unease is a precursor to the next door

The unease you are feeling now
is the entrance to the next level of understanding.

Do not try to erase it,
but try to accept it as it is,
thinking, “This is part of the process of growth.”

Take one deep breath.

Experience comes first. Words come later.

If you believe in that,
words will surely catch up.
