The sounds are not separate from my ears, they arise together through my throat. The distress of the dog barking in the night touches the affliction of my own heart; however the &#8216;heart&#8217; does not seem to be mine anymore.

Does this experience make sense to anyone?<\/p>\n<p>MARCIA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have practiced this exercise a few times during the past years and I feel it is a powerful way to have our usual sense of &#8216;me&#8217; and &#8216;myself&#8217; challenged.
