Bringing RAIN To Difficulty

Sitting quietly, close your eyes and take a few full breaths. Bring to mind a current situation in which you feel stuck; one that elicits a difficult reaction such as anger or fear, shame or hopelessness. It may be a conflict with a family member, a chronic sickness, a failure at work, the pain of an addiction, a conversation you now regret. Take some moments to enter the experience—visualizing the scene or situation, remembering the words spoken, sensing the most distressing moments. Contacting the charged essence of the story is the starting place for exploring the healing presence of RAIN.

I belong here, I am at home here. How beautiful and comforting and loving. Thank you. This is helpful

I've been engaging in the RAIN practice for years when I'm feeling overwhelmed or have an undeniable pit in my stomach. It has never failed to make me feel better - sometimes a little bit and more often profoundly. Being earnest and vulnerable in witnessing and nurturing what is causing me pain and suffering in that moment - and offering myself compassion - is often just what is needed to bring me some peace and comfort. What a blessing.
