Meditation Group [ 125 ] – with Joe Parent

After some discussion about the nature of emotions, a practice for working with emotions was introduced. When we become aware that we are caught up in intense emotion, the practice is to drop the story line in our thoughts and tune into the feeling in our body, and watch as the physical experiences changes or fades when not fueled by thoughts. We also can use the emotions as windows into our deeper unspoken identities that drive our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions.

We then practiced in that context, and concluded with a discussion of our experiences, then dedicated the benefit that came from our practice to the benefit of others.
