Working with strong (or afflictive) emotions (plus some questions for you)
September 23, 2024 | 2 CommentsAudio-only version is here.
Meditation practice begins at 14:32.
Hello, Open Heart Project. I hope you are well and finding ways to be joyful and kind (to yourself, others, the planet).
This video suggests three ways we can work with so-called negative emotions. There are so many all over the place! It can be very difficult to figure out how to work with rage, fear, and, perhaps most dangerous, apathy. I hope you find something useful in the thoughts I share. It is very important to find ways to work with your mind so please use the 10-minute meditation as you wish.
On another note, I am really interested to learn more about you.
The Open Heart Project has grown and changed so much over the years. When I started it way back in 2013, I had some sense of who was involved and why you may have signed up for these emails. It was so much smaller.
I’d love to hear from you. If you would take a moment to respond to few questions, that would be wonderful. You can find them here.
Many thanks!
With love,
Susan

This talk on working with strong emotions was just what I needed. Sometimes I just can’t pacify. Or help others I’m so angry that things have gone this far in politics that people are acyidlky thinking of electing a madman Thank you.
I love when you say “don’t take my word for that”. It’s so important to try it and see what happens. Thanks!
