Your daily pause | day 17 | coming in terms with what is

We continue to explore feelings and emotions – language of the body and heart. The number one step we learn is to simply notice what is here. What needs our attention. It can be a sense of feelings anxious, frustrated, sad, lonely or joyful, in love, excited!Then we allow whatever arises be present. We investigate, explore, watch what thoughts and body sensations assist the emotional state. We are not lost in this state but witness its presence. And finally we turn to it with kindness. You may whisper phrases like "this too belongs", "this too is part of being human". There is kindness directed inwards.
