Being With Hard Emotions

Hard emotions are a natural part of experiencing life as a human. For many of us, our tendency is to distract ourselves, numb out, or suppress the discomfort that arises in the body with difficult emotional states. Instead, so often what the emotional pain in our bodies needs is acknowledgment by being held in spacious awareness.

In this meditation, we move through a brief body scan before resting the awareness on a particularly challenging area, and holding that space with loving awareness.
