On the other hand I have tons of emotional pleasant hang-ups. I like to be a center of attention, to be prized and appreciated. I like to look good and my closet is a testament how vain I am. But I don't feel it in my body. I guess I need to train my mind to better sense my body.
I think this is exactly right. The more dramatic sensations may be clear to you if you give it a seconds reflection (Orgasm, winning the spelling bee, opening birthday presents, ace-ing a test, seeing an attractive person etc...) If you are "enjoying" any activity, whether ice cream or praise and attention, your brain's reward center is going off and releasing "feel good" neurotransmitters. There is a distinct tactile response to these experiences (maybe think of it as "mmmmmmmm"

). The same goes for negative reactions, think of what dread feels like or, for example, crying is a universal physical process with distinct characteristics: squinting eyes, quivering chin, contracting stomach muscles etc... there are sensations in all of this. You simply need to sensitize yourself to the process of reacting, right now you're too close to it to realize it's taking place. If you keep practicing, you will eventually be able to see this process in a sort of third person perspective. Once you reach this stage you can begin to see the subtle aspects of craving.
Also, it's typical that our limbs are easy to feel sensations on yet our trunk area is often "blocked" when we start out. I think this is even addressed in The Art of Living Q&A section. I'm not entirely sure why this is the case but I speculate it's because we store so many of our reactions in our trunks, especially the gut, which has the second largest number of neurotransmitter receptors in our body next to the brain (hence the phrase "gut feeling"). This sheer mass of reaction means its more difficult for us to cut through our self-delusion in order to see it objectively. You may want to try Shamatha as an alternative method of insight practice as described on the homepage of this forum. The advantage of this method is it's emphasis on relaxation coupled with body awareness. You may find when you focus on relaxing and letting go, your body begins to "open up"
Otherwise, keep up the good work. I'm glad you are seeing such good results already.
