This meditation is also based on the Focusing Technique produced by Gene Gendlin - the basis for Meditation for Listening to Your Inner Wisdom in Times of Challenge. This one is particularly helpful if you're feeling a little stuck or if there's a particular swirl of emotion that is coming up a lot for you at the moment, this meditation will help to digest that.

"The purpose of emotion, to let a stream of beauty flow through you." Rumi. That's your aliveness, your cosmic star stuff that has organized itself into human form expressing fully, diversely, creatively through you, as you, in you 🌟 A stream of beauty...

But it doesn't always feel like that right!? Some of those emotions can feel really sticky, uncomfortable maybe even inconvenient. And yet there they are. Here's the thing, there is so much wisdom and value in what you feel and experience and all those feelings, including the really uncomfortable ones, just want to be seen, validated & given the loving light of your awareness.

I say 'just' lightly. It takes practice and curiously rolling about in the newness for awhile. The process is to unravel the story ABOUT the emotion from the raw energetic, somatic expression OF the emotion in the felt experience of your body. The story we have about the emotion, the preference/aversion, the (very human) dwelling on what happened or worry of what hasn't yet happened tends to cause it to stick and linger for longer than it needs to. In the tradition, this is what is often referred to as samskaras, the subliminal impressions from past experience that often shape our present thoughts, speech and action. And as we separate the thought from the feeling we can be a bit more discerning about what is a deeper wisdom to listen to and what is habit that needs to be honoured as once being helpful and then digested, as it no longer serves us.

This meditation is great to do at the end of the day, as a way of processing and digesting particular emotions that may not have been fully expressed in your day. And that can be a particular frustration, sadness or heated moment as well as excitement or joy that you weren't able to fully acknowledge at the time. I also really encourage you to revisit this one and keep practising it. It's one I do very regularly as those well trodden thought patterns are very quick to step up and it can take time to step back from them and drop into the present, felt experience in the body, and therefore fully digest and assimilate the emotion. And what I notice is, in acknowledging the felt experience of the emotion, it starts to shift, morph and dislodge itself. It is seen, felt and transmuted into a dynamic, stream of beauty that can flow through. With practice. Go fiercely. Go gently.
