Use
these heart phrases for the experience
of feeling the absence of problems or
burdens in life. You have entered a state
of feeling perfectly in tune with yourself
emotionally or a state of comfort and
pleasantness. You feel comfortable inside
yourself and with those around you; there
is an inner peace and sense of calm. You
may have this feeling as a result of the
presence of another in a relationship,
to which there are no rough edges and
in which the personal connection is natural,
fluid and mellow. Alternatively, you may
have eaten a perfect mango and sit back
with a big grin, stomach full, heart comfortable.

The
heart is like a gasoline tank. Often it
is running on half full or, worse, it
is running on empty. Good feelings are
the fuel that best drives the heart forward.
Thus, ìm
jai is a general catch-all phrase
to express a feeling of happiness at its
peak. The expression comes close to the
English notion of being contented. Completeness
and depth of the feeling are important.
The Thai word ìm is normally
used to say that one is full after a meal.
Thus ìm alone refers to the full
stomach and ìm
jai the full heart, and with
both organs filled the result should be
a state of contentment. ìm
òoep jaii has the same
general meaning but is flowery language.
Chûm
jai and chûm
òk chûm jai also
have the same meaning and are a little
old-fashioned. The emphasis is on meeting
your needs or desires. If you are thirsty
and drink a glass of cold water you will
feel chûm
jai. |
