This article explores the way I use my cultural heritage as a tool to expand upon and develop skills in working with families, and how I then experience my position as a systemic therapist, interweaving systemic ideas and the intimacies of my own cultural heritage I examine the differences and similarities between systemic knowledge and practice, and African oral traditional ideas. Reclaiming my cultural heritage is the focus of this article and I explore the useful contribution it can make in the systemic field. Practical examples are given to illustrate the applicability of the ideas. Practitioner points African oral traditions (seselelame) characterize a dialogical feeling in the body that complements systemic family therapy and practice. In seselelame human knowing is as valuable as western theories of knowledge. Seselelame offers an appreciation of lived moments and encourages awareness of self (human knowing) as a means of sense‐making. Seselelame practice reinforces the idea that the senses are natural resources. Seselelame: 身体里的感受：结合系统观点的实践 本文探索了我将自己文化背景作为工具来拓展和发展家庭治疗技能的过程, 以及我作为一名系统治疗师, 将系统观点与我本身文化背景紧密交织的体验。我考查了系统理论知识和实践与非洲口述传统观点的相似性和差异性。本文重点是重拾我自己的文化传统, 并探索了其在系统领域的有益贡献。本文提供了实际案例以举例说明本文观点的实际应用。 对实务工作者的启示 非洲口述传统（Seselelame)刻画了一种身体里的对话感受, 作为对系统家庭治疗和实践的一种补充。 在Seselelame中, 人类自身的觉知是和西方理论知识一样有价值的。 Seselelame提倡对亲历时刻的重视, 并鼓励将对自我的觉察（人的觉知）作为理解意义的一种手段。 Seselelame的实践强调了感官是自然资源的观点。 关键词：家庭治疗；身体里的感觉；驻家系统家庭治疗；非洲口述传统观点；Seselelame
