Thank you for this. Years ago after going through an extreme trauma I was following a meditation teacher who taught to sit with your emotion - assign a color, find where it is in the body, feel how it feels and how much you can feel it, breathe and observe - and then watch how it starts to change, break apart or dissolve - and realize it’s temporary. Doing that one meditation over & over got me thru the toughest of times.
Over the years I had forgotten it.
Your talk here reminded me of it because what you are saying is very similar. I was having a very tough, sad night. I tried a number of meditations on depression and nothing was helping. Many seem to say things that don’t ring true for me. But yours is real. This really helped me to acknowledge the feeling but to observe it and allow my body to let go of the tension and let the pain of the sadness dissolve.
Thank you for such an honest talk.
