Difficult Emotions: Body As Foundation

This meditation is one of a set on being with difficult emotions. Our body is the foundation for our emotional life — the living ground that holds and allows the flow of feeling. In this practice, inspired by Judith Blackstone we’ll explore how awareness can settle into the pelvic bowl, the diaphragm, the throat, and even the the lower eye sockets — regions that gently contain and express our emotions. As we attune to these foundations, the body becomes both a safe but responsive container for emotional life — steady, spacious, and alive. Rather than “managing” emotion, we’ll learn to inhabit the body so fully that emotion can move through us with wisdom and ease.

Thank you Adele, your calm voice allowed the journey through the body to flow seemingly effortless. Interesting to me that I’ve not visited IT for probably 12 months and recently started reading Thich Ngat Hanh’s No Mud No Lotus. Seems a little serendipitous to have chosen your meditation on the body today💖

An enjoyable opportunity to have awareness of the body and how emotions affect it. I liked that there was no music to distract me.
