Working with Difficult Emotions

We live in uber-stressful times where emotional distress is an almost everyday occurrence. We very much need simple practical ways to work with our emotions, and in this talk I gave at a virtual Healing Circle in August of 2020, that’s exactly what I tried to provide. The topics I covered include: 

·      Using embodiment meditation as an antidote to “living in our head”

·      Tuning into the emotions directly as a “felt sense”

·      Emotions as vehicles for transcending logic and “figuring things out”

·      “Feeling what we feel” without judgment or analysis

·      Relaxation not grasping, observation not thinking

·      Journaling and walking as “meditation in everyday life” practices
