I have noticed the prevalence of two difficult emotions both in my own life as well as in my conversations with others - grief & anxiety. Difficult emotions to be sure. Over the next four episodes, I want to explore working with difficult emotions in our meditation practice. 

It can appear, at least on the surface, that there is no place for big emotion within our meditation practice - as if, somehow, meditation precludes us from experiencing heartbreak, fear or anger. This couldn’t be further from the truth. What meditation offers us isn’t exemption from emotion but rather comfort and trust in the wisdom of our emotions. 

Almost always amidst big emotion we are having a dual experience. We are 

Experiencing our feelings in the moment. 

Experiencing the thoughts, stories and beliefs we are having about our feelings.

One is real; the other is very often untrue. Can you guess which? 

Join me for today’s episode of The Mindful Minute as we talk about

What is real and what is untrue

The forethought of grief

Why there is always a place for your emotions, no matter how big, in meditation

At the end, as always, we will share in a 20-minute guided meditation.
