Working with difficult emotions

[Aloka]

Mingyur Rinpoche talks about how to use meditation to work with and transform your emotions, even the difficult ones. (approx 4 mins)






Any thoughts about what he said?

Hi Aloka,

This is a very powerful teaching. What we resist will persist. We can experience emotions like watching a river flowing while not getting caught up in the flow. Just observe the flow and allow some space to exist between the emotion and our experience of the emotion.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Gene

I agree with Gene, just watching the emotions flow by while not stepping into the river. If you start to get caught up in the raw emotion then take a step back and see what’s causing it.
