- 소개/요약This qualitative study is a Mindful Inquiry into the question: What is the embodied experience of being in emotional resonance with another person in an intercultural interaction? This question springs from my lived experience as a partner in an international marriage, who has spent her adult life living outside her culture of origin and working at the intercultural interface where I have felt the need for relational ability deeper than personality, language, and culture. My Mindful Inquiry into the realms of relational and transpersonal psychology was pursued using the 4 knowledge traditions of critical social science, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and Buddhism. I used multiple texts including my own phenomenological writing and the transcripts of interviews with 12 interculturalists to write an eidetic phenomenological description of embodied emotional resonance: the bodily experience of relational attunement. Five findings contributed to my understanding of embodied empathic resonance: (1) bodymindfulness of bodymindset, (2) somatic tonality of energetic presence, (3) consonance and dissonance: the yin-yang of resonant emotional relationships, (4) coherent energy, and (5) shifting the bodymindset. Embodied resonance is the bodymind's experience of energetic vibration from both internal and external sources. I explored its functioning on two levels in face-to-face interactions—intrapersonal and interpersonal—as the basis for a somatic epistemology. It can be perceived as somatic-emotional sensations and a bodily felt sense, the inner aura of the energetic presence of one's own being or that of another in states ranging from dissonance to consonance. It provides a means of empathic relational attunement that is the basis for mutuality. Descriptions of intercultural applications of bodymindfulness demonstrate the practicality of this research. I consider that my work on intersubjectivity extends that of Alfred Schutz into proprioceptive, somatic-emotional realms. My lived experience of Gadamer's 3 levels of hermeneutics suggests that my work moved into a fourth level with active implementation of my understandings in intercultural interactions. I believe applying understanding of emotional resonance and bodymindfulness has generic value in human relations as a form of everyday peacemaking._x000D_
