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.
