Labelling Emotions Meditation

Suitable for everyone, this 20 minute meditation invites you to sit with difficult emotions, label them and watch them rise and fall. We can let emotions such as anger and sadness come and go and learn not to get hooked by them. By not resisting emotions they ultimately have less power.
Through the meditation I guide you to notice, without judgement or needing to change anything, emotions as they arise. As much as you can, when the mind wanders (which it will!), gently bring your attention back and listen to my voice again.
The aim is to "Fall Awake" not asleep- so if you find you are falling asleep, try opening your eyes and look at the ground with a soft focus.
Sit with your back away from the chair, up-right with hands on knees, feeling erect but not tense. Allow yourself to arrive.
After the meditation ends, keep with the feeling, rather than rush to start the rest of your day. For more on me: www.retreatsinfrance.com, www.mbsr-mindfulness.com
