If the _feeling_ of loneliness starts with a sensory/somatic experience then to know it means it is interpreted. If it is interpreted then it went through a filter of values and beliefs. And all of this is contextual to environmental cues
In other words if we could stimulate the same somatic experience in people then some may find relief and others distress and others may not notice it amounts the billions of sensory input in any given moment.
Want to feel (dis)connected. Change the somatic experience? Change the environment/context? Change the interpretation?
My mantra for a while
“I am a tree in woods” ( reminded that I’m part of a connected system)
