Welcoming Sadness

It's very common when people feel sad to what the feeling to go away! Sometimes people think they shouldn't be feeling like this, or it should have passed by now, or just that it's an unpleasant feeling.

This can result in fighting against the feeling, and making ourselves feel worse.

In this meditation we practise allowing ourselves to feel the sadness. It might be possible to see the beauty in the sadness, and it might even pass more quickly.

I was left more spacious, more ready to simply be with unpleasant feelings, especially sadness. Nicely paced. Time to breath and experience his guidance. Will listen again.

Great and helpful - I struggle with wanting to run away from emotions rather that feeling

Thank you for this meditation. Felt lighter at the end after feeling a heavy sadness over the last couple of days. Will come back to it as needed.

Really nice. Unhurried, grounding, effective and not excessively talkative.

This was just perfect. I am still in the throes of sadness, but the breathing, the pace, the length and the messaging of this meditation track were just what I needed. I’ll be doing this one later today and every day until I don’t need it.

Perfect, especially if you have trouble crying.

Helped me to sit with my sadness and feel lighter and calmer. Thank you! Namaste 🙏❤️

Cannot thank you enough. I hope I can learn to live with my feelings.

Thank you. This is very helpful and comforting when you’re having a bad time or day

Really enjoyed this, felt some sadness and other emotions. Thank you!

i was constantly wondering "do i let people get to know me for real? can i be real and genuine in my speak?". i could to get in touch directly with my sadness and feel it, and now i feeling so much better because i allowed me to cry. right now im resonating in my head "be gentle to yourself the rest of the day" this touched me a lot

I've gone through a lot of family trauma, even doing EMDR therapy hasn't been able to let me crack into how I really feel. Sitting and having the guide tell me it's okay to feel, it's okay to notice these things, has slowly allowed me to let the tears flow little by little. Thank you for this guidance 💜

Excellent on many levels! Enjoyed not having background music to unnecessarily excite, the deep non-speaking parts, and the reeling back to observing the breath meditation. The acceptance of any emotions was also very kind. Thank you for this very nice guided meditation.

Simple, soothing and healing. Helped me to calm down instantly and be a bit more comfortable with myself and my thoughts again. Thank you ❤️

Really lovely thank you. Great pace and great structure and really helped

Very simple, wonderful guided meditation into the practice of accepting one's feelings. I found the silence and lack of background music refreshing. Thank you

Lovely. I did this lying down since sadness often manifests as physical fatigue for me and found it to be very effective that way. Will try as a sitting meditation next time.

Very powerful thank you. Has helped shift some sadness, in a very gentle way

Peaceful meditation namaste .

I cried so much. .. and while I was crying, my subconscious finally told me why I have been so sad. I've been carrying someone else's sadness. Thank you. 🙏
