Interfeeling

The emotional practice run together rather than alone: many instruments, one weather, and a truer reading than any single body can take.

Feelings named and received without judgment, in company. What changes is not the practice — it is still feel, allow, read, name, ask, move, release — but the number of instruments taking the reading (Feel → Allow → Read → Name → Ask → Move → Release, Circle, Check In).

The claim is about accuracy, not comfort. One person's reading of a situation is one instrument's reading, with that instrument's particular sensitivities and blind spots. Several people reading the same room and saying honestly what they find produce something none of them had: a composite reading of what is actually present. The canon's phrase for it is exact — many instruments, one weather (Sensemaking, Sensing The Field, Circle Coherence).

That makes it a navigational practice rather than a therapeutic one. Most of what a group is actually doing does not appear in its decisions; a body that can ask what is the weather here and get honest answers knows something about itself that no amount of discussion of the agenda would reveal (Sighting, Mend a Tension).

Two conditions make it work, and both are ordinary. Received without judgment — a reading offered and then argued with is the last honest reading that body will get (Zero Blame Environment, Speaking Truth In Love, Having Difficult Conversations). And each keeps their own centre — interfeeling is composition, not merging. A body whose members have caught one another's state has not taken a reading; it has produced weather of its own (Sovereignty In The Populated Field, Boundary).

It also does the thing a shared practice does that a private one cannot: it makes the vocabulary common. People who have named their states aloud to one another for a season can say in one word what would otherwise take a paragraph and still be misheard (Language, Word Tools, The Seven-Field Emotion Page Pattern).
