Naming Belly Sensations

Your belly may often register sensations that seem vague or hard to define. Here's a playful, intuitive way of putting words to your belly's state of being. You can use this method of naming your belly's sensations whenever you need to come to terms with your "gut feelings."

Consider this list of categories, and add your own categories to it:

shoes vessels kitchen appliances sources of light types of clouds kinds of weather landscapes

planets colors constellations animals flowers fruits sources of heat

The sentence below contains two blanks. Fill in the first blank with a category of your choosing. Fill in the second blank with a specific example of that category, saying whatever picture or word comes immediately to mind.

"The way my belly is feeling now, if my belly were a (category:) ________, it would be a (specific example:) ________."

For instance, if I chose the category "waterways," my sentence might be: "The way my belly is feeling now, if my belly were a waterway, it would be a sparkling mountain stream."
