Episode Details

Welcome to Your Quiet Moment. I'm glad you're here. Today I want to talk about something that might sound simple but can actually be quite challenging to practice. We're going to discuss how to let feelings be what they are. Not to push them away, not to amplify them, not to story them up into something bigger than they are. Just to let them be present, move through you, and then pass. Here's the thing about feelings that we often forget. They are not permanent. They come, they arise, and if we don't fight them, if we don't grasp at them or push them away, they go. This is the nature of emotional experience. Everything that arises also passes. But we live in a culture that teaches us to do the opposite. We are rewarded for being productive, for being busy, for keeping a positive attitude no matter what.
