cherapple Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 What are my first memories of feelings? When do I first remember joy? When do I first remember fear? When do I first remember anger? What are my first memories of sadness? What happened that caused these feelings? What happened when I expressed these feelings? What did I need? What did I want? What did I get? Did I feel heard, seen, acknowledged? When did I feel like I existed for people? When did I feel invisible? What was my experience of love and being loved? How well do I love myself now, and what or who in my childhood taught me this? If I have a very strong feeling in the present, when do I remember feeling something similar in childhood? With whom, and what was happening?
saveyourself1 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 yea, that's probably more apt overall to ask questions around feelings, wants, needs and especially feeling invisible or when someone was just exploiting me
saveyourself1 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 when did i feel like i existed for people.... this such a straining question...after meditating on almost half a dozen examples pretty easily i think its safe to say actually i know its safe to say that the reason its so straining and so foggy of a question is at least partly because of its overwhelming presence
Hsien Seong Cheong Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Can I find where my first opinions came from? Who have I lost from my life that I wish I hadn't? When did I act without virtue when I knew I was doing wrong, and why? Where did the qualities of who I am come from? Did anything happen in my past to predispose me to not see truth in the present?

With whom, and what was happening? Wow, thanks for posting this. I've got my journal prompts for the next while! Other questions: What were my favorite activites as a child? Which were encouraged and which were discouraged? How did I think of myself/define myself as a kid? How did my parents think of me or describe me? Friends? Siblings? How was I taught about sex and sexuality? What were my earliest experiences with sexuality? What were my favorite toys and what emotions do I feel when I think of them now? How did I feel interacting with friends' parents? With my teachers? With teachers who I didn't personally know?
