Recognizing self-loathing and contempt

Let us now consider the inner sensations that we experience with disgust and scorn. It is quite easy to experience a feeling of disgust, thinking about getting into the mouth of some unpleasant subject or about an act disgusting from a moral point of view.
Pay attention to the sensations in your throat, how you start to choke. The sensations experienced by your upper lip and nostrils are enhanced, as if your sensitivity to these parts of your face has increased so much that you began to feel them stronger. Relax and try again to experience disgust, but this time as weak as possible, again focusing on the sensations in your throat and in your nostrils and upper lip.
It is much more difficult to identify feelings associated with contempt. Think of someone else's actions that did not disgust you, but made you feel contempt for the one who committed them. Perhaps this is a man who climbed into the cashier out of turn, who is engaged in plagiarism or foul language. Make sure that you do not feel anger or disgust, but just contempt. Pay attention to your desire to raise your chin, as if you were looking at someone who is below the line of your nose. Feel the tension in one of the corners of your mouth.
