Emotion
embracing
strong feeling; the state of having the feelings aroused to the point of awareness; any specific feeling; any of various complex reactions with both mental and physical manifestation
What we resist persists. This is true in so many ways when it comes to feelings. Emotions are a natural part of being human and the more we can accept our feelings for what they are, without identifying with them, the more balanced we become. Being conscious of our breathing returns us to the present moment, where we can face and embrace any emotion we habitually resist and avoid.
Inquiry
Which emotion am I resisting?
Intention
I am human and I am in the process of evolution. I can fully accept myself in spite of sometimes having emotions that I ‘think’ should not be there. I bring a ‘yes’ to the ‘no.’
