A recording of a class on body-focused meditations creating a foundation to process uncomfortable emotions.In this class, we continue learning the practices we need to process difficult emotions.
Introduction:My goal is to share what I've learned from my personal meditation practice and my knowledge of meditation, mindfulness and resilience. My journey began in 2013 when I was asked to teach meditation to friends.
Unique Responses to PracticesEveryone is Different. I have realised that everyone has a unique response to each meditation practice. For example, a relaxation practice can result in various outcomes, from no benefit at all, to feeling the most relaxed ever.
Continuous ImprovementMy training and meditation practices have evolved over the years. I continue to try new practices and incorporate them into my teachings if they show greater benefits for my students. Although the foundational practices remain the same, my methods for teaching stress management have changed.
Acceptance is the key to becoming comfortable with difficult emotionsIn the early days of my teaching, in 2013 and 2014, I wanted to focus on emotional release, but I found that the unique responses of my students meant that this approach only benefited a small number of them. I have learned that the most universal way to address difficult emotions is through acceptance, which is a common theme in many therapies and is also part of meditation. Connection and focus with the body is the foundation of the practices we need to learn to help us sit with and process uncomfortable emotions.
Summary:I am excited to share what I have learned through my personal meditation journey with others. I will be focusing on foundational practices for emotional release, also known as body-focus practices, in my teachings. I look forward to continuing to grow and learn in my meditation journey.
