I don't want to deal with it!! Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

Resistance - We all avoid things in our lives we find uncomfortable. In this episode we talk about how to get "unstuck"
“Through practice, I’ve come to see that the deepest source of my misery is not wanting things to be the way they are. Not wanting myself to be the way I am. Not wanting the world to be the way it is. Not wanting others to be the way they are. Whenever I’m suffering, I find this war with reality to be at the heart of the problem.”

~ Stephen Cope"

Meditation - Dealing with Emotions Jun 14, 2020

Show notes

Practice the felt experience of emotions and how they feel. We want to lean how to 'feel stress' but not 'become stress'. We also want to lean how to be with joy and sadness/ stress and calm. etc. We focus on negative emotions... but the truth is all emotions are temporary. Mindfulness + compassion is the magic formula for well being.

Dealing with Emotions Jun 14, 2020

Show notes

The movie Inside and Out is an amazing analogy that helps us picture our inner characters. Who is in control? Anger, Sad , Disgust, Joy, Fear.
We apply the Buddhist concept of "Right View" to help with difficult emotions.
1- Name it to tame it
2- Get into felt experience of the emotion - what does the emotion feel like in your body?
3- Shift from "I am" to "Is" - "I am anxious" shifts to " Anxiety is here"
We learn to relax the nervous system in the meditation session.
