Exploring Emotion Naming and Psychological Safety in Meditation
Naming our emotions and physiological experiences in meditation can feel like being seen and externally validated, acknowledging what's happening and providing a sense of psychological safety. The practice of meditation requires a sense of safety to show up and allow without feeling like a failure. Acknowledging and making friends with the emotions that arise during meditation is essential, as meditation can bring up past experiences and emotions unexpectedly. Internal discipline is crucial in managing emotions, where the balance lies in neither suppressing everything nor expressing excessively, but finding a middle ground through titration and being mindful of how we engage with our emotions in various contexts.
