R.A.I.N For Difficult Emotions

The R stands for: "Recognize" the difficult emotion. A: "Allow" it to be present, rather than pushing it away, or resisting it. I: is to "investigate" it by inquiring into the felt sense of our experience rather than it being a cognitive or analytical process. N: "Nurture", offers loving-kindness and/or compassion guidance to hold the emotion or vulnerability with kindness and care.

This practice of R.A.I.N. came into being about 15 years ago and has become popularized by Tara Brach.
