We can find it difficult to experience our emotions, particularly when we get caught up in judging our emotions as bad or unwanted. This meditation allows you to experience your emotions in a way that feels tolerable and manageable.

Judgement is a weapon
Used too much, or too often, it would turn me into a cactus, untouched, alone in the desert of my thoughts. I'd rather be a rose, a few thorns are inevitable and necessary, but the core remains open, vulnerable, always true.

So many Emotions surround me. My husband Travels out of Town every week to provide for us as Head of House. I deal with his Emotions he has a Great Job but it keeps him out of State for 4days a week. He get Extremely Emotional he hates leaving us. We have such a big Family dealing with there Emotions the kids reach out to both of us all the time which I a lot. I find myself wrapped up in teaching helping worrying listening coping hearing thinking preparing handling my all of my kids Emotions. The Emotions I have are that I am a Catholic Christian Wife,Mom, Woman, I say my Blessings Pray Give Thanks to God Everyday. I still manage to keep up with Myself as a SexyWoman by Relaxing Meditating Breathing at appropriate times I put on Makeup I just in the manner that I want to and in the mood that I'm in and appropriate times. I get a manicure and pedicure. These are things I do for myself because I need and want them for me I can forget about me. I do things for everybody including me. ๐Ÿ’‹

Placing your bad
Placing your bad vibes on a leaf really helped me. Iโ€™m going to start doing that every time I get a negative thought

Experiencing Emotion w/o judgement
My body knows how to tolerate emotions. These feelings are necessary. Don't let your emotions take charge.

Experiencing emotions
I learned that I could feel my emotions in my body and that I reacted to those emotions. I have to recognize them and be willing to let them go.

Emotions
I learned that itโ€™s important to fully experience emotions, even if you perceive them as negative. Emotions are normal and itโ€™s okay to feel things.

Letting go of the emotion.
It was very helpful to have the visualization of of the leaf and placing the emotion on it and placing it on the river and watching it float on by. The first emotion left quite quickly- while the second one seemed to take its time swaying slower back and forth down the river. And what would that emotion be? Anxiety, of course! But I am happy to say for the moment it is probably living somewhere (in a van) down (by) the river!!! Good meditation- thank you!

Sit on the bank watch them float by It wonโ€™t be long โ€˜till the bad ones are gone Joy and laughter is will come again just around the bend upstream โ€œAnd daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it awayโ€
