How Do I Want To Feel About That?

Find a comfortable seat and take a slow breath in, and out. Let your body soften. Bring to mind a moment from today—a task, a word spoken, even a frustration. Ask yourself gently: “How do I want to feel about that?” Notice what arises, without judgment.

With each breath, bring another memory, concern, or hope into awareness. Again, ask: “How do I want to feel about that?” Let the question open space, inviting a kinder or freer way of holding what is before you.

Return to your breath. Know that at any time, you can pause in the flow of life and ask: “How do I want to feel about that?” Breathe deeply once more, release slowly, and when you’re ready, open your eyes.

Breathe in deeply and exhale slowly.

.

.

Centering yourself and your body in this current experience.

Notice where you are,

How you are,

What you are,

And what you are becoming.

Breathing into any areas of tension,

Exhaling it all away.

Sinking in,

Getting heavy.

Becoming still and quiet.

Just noticing.

Sensing,

Not thinking.

Into feelings,

But not cognition.

This moment,

Not what was,

Not what will be.

What are you confronting?

What is the subject you want to think about?

An obstacle in your way,

Perhaps,

As you view it.

What feelings come up?

When you think about this potential roadblock or difficulty.

Notice where you find them in your body.

What words or sensations?

Fast,

Slow,

Agitated?

Distressed or calm?

And then the magic question.

How do you want to feel about it?

Let that sink in.

What comes up?

How do you want to feel about it?

And just keep repeating it.

How do I want to feel about this?

Breathe into that.

Inhale deeply,

Exhale slowly.

How do I want to feel about this?

What might be different?

What do I want to feel about this?

You can come back to this meditation or just repeat the phrase during the day and in the days to come.

And something might arise.

Take note of it.

Blessings.
