Working With Emotional Pain

Many people come to meditation for relief from emotional pain, and this is the most effective technique for that purpose that I know. With this technique, you will learn to turn towards emotional pain and see it for what it is: sensations in the body that are not so bad. The key is to focus directly on the sensations themselves and NOT on the negative thoughts that go along with them.

Learn to do this well and it can be an invaluable tool to help you bear with your pain without letting it derail your life.
