Understanding Emotions through Sitting with Them
Rather than running away from difficult emotions like despair, anger, or fear, it is important to pause and sit with these emotions. By acknowledging and honoring these emotions instead of resisting them, one can uncover deeper truths about oneself and recognize the impermanence of these emotions. For example, when feeling envy, one can shift focus from labeling the emotion to recognizing the physical sensations it brings, allowing these feelings to naturally dissipate as attention shifts to positive experiences, such as enjoying a cup of coffee or being in nature.
