Arising emotion - Illusory Advice


 

Teachers: It is generally not worth intellectualising too much about ‘why’ something is. Such ‘why’ questions do not generally go anywhere. It is as it is. Just observe how you are and let it go. This emotion has always been there but you have not been aware of it. When you start to allow the mind to settle through practice, all sorts of things may manifest….. 

….If you are experiencing a great deal of powerful emotion you may also find it helpful to engage in yogic song. This can allow the energy to transform. Also, you could try to observe where you feel the emotion in your body and focus on the sensation. The important thing is to not get involved in the intellectual concept around the energetic emotion.
