How do we let emotions be a part of the meditative experience?
The more we try to minimise feelings, the more they become amplified. We feed them with resistance.
A mindful approach means being with an experience without adding layers of storyline onto it. So we practice sitting with emotions and relaxing around them.
Not avoiding, not escaping, not numbing or faking peace or 'spiritually bypassing', but 'turning towards' emotions, holding space for them to be felt, heard and to work themselves out.
