Difficult Emotions: Soften, Soothe, Allow

One of a set of "being with difficult emotions" that I have prepared is inspired by different teachers and traditions.
In general practicing with emotions of a 2-6/10 difficulty rather than more intense emotions is recommended.
This meditation comes from the Mindful Self-Compassion course devised by Chris Germer and Kristen Neff.
We start by labeling, investigating the body experience, and then softening, soothing, and allowing the difficult emotion.
