Deep dives
Loving and embracing difficult emotions
Rupert emphasizes the power of getting close to and loving difficult emotions, rather than distancing oneself from them. He discusses how this approach, known as the tantric approach, can lead to a collapse into the emotion, causing it to dissipate. He encourages a shift from the Vedantic belief that we are not our emotions to the tantric belief of embracing and merging with them.
