Sometimes I wish I had an encyclopedic memory for useful words. That would come in very handy when I try to explain my emotions. I'm not great when it comes to explaining how I feel. I'm not even great at knowing how I feel.After my rituals at night, I email Sir to tell him I've completed them. I'm also suppose to tell him how I feel. I do tell him, but I never feel I've captured my mood or feelings very well.
Especially about kneeling time....
I love kneeling time. I think I usually tell Sir that kneeling time helps me focus. Or makes me feel settled. It goes far beyond that, though. And I've not found the words to really describe it. I thought I was doing well with "settled," but it falls short too. That in some way sounds passive, but I think kneeling time is active. Or, proactive... I actively settle myself into thoughts about Sir. I can feel it mentally, or emotionally. Almost physically.Still, I haven't found the perfect way to describe.

ReplyDeleteI love your description of this. It can be felt on so many levels. The word I feel best describes this feeling for me is "serenity" which is why I choose it as my profile name. Another description I've heard used is grace, as that is also something sort of physical and mental.
Serenity is a wonderful descriptive. That is the sense the photos I included in the post evoke in me -- serenity.
DeleteI was just thinking about this yesterday and I found these to be most fitting:

Those are very fitting descriptions.
Deletefor me that settled, content, focused feeling is a big part of what feeling submissive is for me. lovely
ReplyDeleteYes. It is when I feel the most "right." Like I'm right where I belong.
DeleteGreat post, I have been thinking about this myself recently and have not been able to adequately describe it either.
ReplyDeleteOne word, I'm sure, can't encapsulate the feeling. Maybe it isn't the word I'm trying to capture. Maybe it's the feeling so I can feel it always.
DeleteSoft. That's how it makes me feel.
ReplyDeleteSofter.
Yes. Softer.... That is very good.
DeleteSofter.
And that makes me think, malleable.
Thank you for your input.
Oh gosh im not very good at describing emotions too well, kneeling to me represents a time to reflect on my submission, it makes me feel i dunno more submissive?, its that time to focus on his needs which in turn feeds my needs.
ReplyDeleteThats about the best i can put it lol

That's a good way to put it, Tori!
DeleteKneeling makes me feel humble and penitent-I need to do it more. Thanks for the great post!
ReplyDeleteThose are good ways to describe kneeling time. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteKneeling time is a big part of my submission. Describing it in one word....belonging? His? focused? I could go on...the posts above did a better job than me!

I can't describe it in one word either, abby!
Deletei love to kneel, its part of my rituals, and like you i would love to have words to hand to describe my emotional feelings...smiles.

I don't why i want a word to describe the feeling. I somehow think if I had a word, I could get where I go during kneeling time at other times as well with just that word.
DeleteAhhh, i like this. Kneeling ~ just the posture ~ has an amazing power, doesn't it? It's not part of a regular ritual for me, partly because i don't have any rituals ~ :-( ~ but also i've got a knee that bothers me sometimes, so i haven't even been kneeling at all lately. i miss it....
ReplyDeleteAnd i appreciate your search for the right word for it. i like acquiescence.

I hope you are able to have kneeling time again soon. And, yes, I like the word acquiescence too!
DeleteSoft. Female. In love with him in every cell.
ReplyDeleteSoft. I love that! Definitely, soft!
DeleteCould it be that you feel peaceful? In harmony with your Sir? For me, when I have my quiet time I feel just that: in harmony with my Master.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you have something that connects you to yourself and to your Sir.

Peaceful is a very good description of what kneeling time makes me feel.
