Difficult emotions are our body’s way of telling us our needs aren’t being met. Rather than ignoring or resisting these emotions, we can bravely sit with them with this Mindfulness of Emotions Practice. You'll be able to bring a kind attention to your emotions, feel them as sensations within the body, and offer yourself compassion to be able to move forward. Life consists of joy and suffering. Living life fully means feeling all the emotions we experience. Regularly practicing this meditation, based on the RAIN technique developed by Michele McDonald, helps us to be with all that arises. It allows us to shift from reacting to our emotions and letting them impact our relationships and lives, to processing them and responding wisely to whatever life brings. Christine holds an intention to support your daily practice and gently guide you while allowing space for insight, so you can be with your emotions and listen to the messages they're sending you.
