Unblending From Difficult Emotions

Inspired by Loch Kelly and Effortless or Openhearted awareness.
One of a set of "being with difficult emotions" that I have prepared inspired by different teachers.
Can be practiced when a difficult emotion arises or by bringing to mind a difficult situation.

Recorded by Adele Stewart, MBSR teacher in Winoona, 2020. Can you feel the emotional or energetic pattern you're aware of in or around your body? What is the shape, The size, The location, The feeling of this part? Spending some time investigating this with kind curiosity. Can you perhaps even thank this part? It probably thinks it's been quite helpful. And can you ask this part perhaps to unblend, Open some space around it, However that might feel possible? Maybe asking it to just step back a little. And if there feels like there's some space around the part in your body, Perhaps from this space you can have a sense of resting as the awareness that is aware. How does your heart feel towards this part? Not your head, Your heart. Is this part aware that you are here with it? Is this part aware of your feelings towards it? Is there anything this part wants to let you know? Not thinking of an answer, Just allowing an answer to arise. When this part is able to turn and be aware of you, What does it experience as the size, Location and feeling of you? Just allowing these questions to drop into the system without needing to force any answer. How does it feel to be aware from your heart towards this part or emotion or pattern within your body? How is it resting in open-hearted awareness with your body and with this part?
