Emotions especially deep rooted ones are tough to work with and need a multi-pronged approach over time. However, the intention to work with them in itself creates a lot of momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Recognise that any emotion is a composite of sensations, thoughts, flight or fight in no particular order… one feeding the other. The emotion exists in a bubble fueled by the above. See the composite sketch of the emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Untangle the wires and expose them for what they. Dependent arisings … one dependent on the other for existence as truth. They exisit within your mind validated bu your mind. For example, mind might interpret a void in the chest as sadness. Sadness then triggers a story about how our mum was never available, the story then makes us stay in bed, staying in bed reinforces the sadness and depression…. and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Step out of the loop. Meditate. Stay in the space of detachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Question the interpretations…. can the butterflies in the stomach mean something else? How else can I interpret this? How do I know this sensation is sadness? Even if it is do I need to allow it to derail me? Is the story about my mum true or a perceptive distortion of a 7 year old child?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Repeat 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can be a long and tiring process with many relapses but ultimately very rewarding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
