So, Hello, Sir Richard again here. I want to guide you through a longer welcoming the emotions or we could call it listening to the emotions, Listening to the body. I sometimes call it dancing with dragons. A dragon being something that we're unsure about. Yeah, But a dragon is powerful. It's full of energy and fire and life. Just that we turn it into a dragon because we're not sure. Yeah. And sometimes I call it what we feel we heal. This is all about feeling. It's not about analysis. It's not about working out why you feel a certain way. So what we're listening to, It may start off with a tightness or a tension maybe heaviness. What's nice? I just an uncomfortable something. So, Pause this if you wish and just settle into a comfortable posture. You can lie or sit it doesn't matter. Just best to stay as awake as possible. You can close your eyes. And just settling into the body. Resting your attention on the movement of the breath for a few moments just to help ground yourself here to be here. Now I should fall silent to give you the opportunity to sense into what's here. I haven't gone anywhere when I fall silent. I'm here. So just be curious about what's happening in a body. What's happening here? Is there a tightness? Is there a tension or a holding? Is there something troubling you? If there is an issue in your life, It'll be reflected in the body. Have a look. Bring that issue to mind. Oh, There it is. Makes me feel. That's it. Now I want you to turn towards this something. I'm going to call it a something. And start to just feel it if possible. What does it, Ask the question, What does this feel like? That directs the attention. And so just explore with your awareness. What does it feel like? Is it heavy? Is it jumpy? Interesting. Tight and held. You may notice an image. Fine. My words are just there to guide you. The work is done in between my words. I drop in a few words. Then you do the work. I'm here with you. What does it feel like? Oh, Not sure. Well, A little exploration. Where do you feel it? Where's this in the body? Oh, It's around the throat. Whatever. That's just tuning into it, Sensing into it. And if you find yourself getting lost in thought, Just say to yourself, That's a thought. It's okay. And just return back home here to the body. What's this? And as it will walk around to the side of this something. It gets too much at all guys. Just open your eyes and come to the senses and maybe even stand up and come back to it later. But if you're okay, Carry on. I just want you to check how you feel towards it. Do you feel like you want it to go away? You want rid of it? You wish it would just disappear? Are you scared of it? Is there a scared feeling here? Just honesty. Just be honest with yourself. It's okay. Are you angry about this? It's still here. That's it. Just staying here. What you feel, You heal. What's this feel like? What does it look like? Does it have a shape? Does it have a texture? Now we're just going to go further. So just dropping in asking it the question. So what gets you feeling like this? Like you ask a person what not why, But what gets you feeling like this? And just be open to any feeling. Just feel into it. Sense into it. That's it. Beautiful. Just staying there. Gentle, Firm, In charge as it were. You're the parent. This is the child. You can be firm here. It's okay. This is a part of you. This something. Okay. So just listening. Sensing, Listening. It's a really beautiful way to be with yourself. At some point it becomes fun. Oh, Didn't realize that. Oh. So just being there with this instead of trying to push it away or run away from it or have opinions. Just hear. Just feel. Don't ask to ask the questions if you don't want to. That can just be helpful sometimes. So now if you wish, There's another question. And the question is a really lovely way of just again, Shooting in a little bit deeper. And the question is something like, So how do you feel? So you're asking the feeling, This sensation, This heaviness. How do you feel emotionally right now? Ask it and just see what it says. See what it reveals, If anything. I'm going to make one or two suggestions just to see what happens. Does this something feel sad? Does this something feel angry? Does this something feel scared? Afraid? Just sense into it. It's okay. That's it. Wonderful. Just being here, Attending to yourself, This part of yourself. This is the ultimate in self-compassion, Being with your own discomfort. That's it. That's it. Sensing, Listening. So the final question. So you're asking this part of you and then listening to it. So the question is something like, So what do you need from me to be well? Ask it. Just see what happens, If anything. So what do you need from me to be well? Lovely. That's it. Listen a little closer, A little more deeply and ask the question, Is there anything else you'd like to reveal? I'm here. That's it. Just sensing into this something, Allow it to reveal whatever it wants to reveal. This is like being your own counselor, Your own therapist. You're doing the listening to this part of you and what these parts often want is just to be felt and acknowledged. Feeling is what leads to healing. That's it. So you can keep your eyes closed if you wish, Gats, Whilst I say a few words to bring this to a close. Start to become aware of other parts of your body and as you do become aware of your body, Just thank your body for being here, For revealing something and thank that part of yourself. Thank you. And do your best not to judge how it went. And come back to this practice, Come back to this meditation as much as you need to. You may need to revisit certain experiences more than once, By the way. But at some point you start to notice you may be a little less anxious in a situation, You may be less afraid, Less nervous, More alive, Whatever. We don't know how it's going to heal because trapped in those contractions is energy. And so as we feel, As the sun hits the flower, The flower opens, Your awareness, Your feeling, It is like the sun. This contraction opens and releases its energy. But if it ever gets too much, Just pause and then come back when you feel a little bit stronger. But in all the years I've been doing this, The body tends to release what we can cope with. Now you might do this practice daily for a week or twice a week for a few months. You may do it when you've got something actually going on. So you can do it in the moment when you've got a tension down here, Do it then. Or if there's something, An issue bothering you in your life, Where is it reflected in the body? Ah, It's in my belly, It's in my throat, It's in my stomach. Wonderful. And when you're ready, Get on with your day. Thank you. Bye-bye.
