    Phillip Moffitt, a member of the Spirit Rock Teachers Council, leads a themed meditation on finding possibility in all that arises and passes: the breath, thoughts, feelings, anger and more.

    A note from Sean

    Try this today. Choose one thing that comes and goes today: a breath, a thought, a flash of irritation. Follow it from start to finish. Where do you feel it in your body? When does it shift? When does it fade? Then ask what else is here right now. Try it once with something pleasant and once with something unpleasant, and see whether they behave differently.

    Keep going: Mood and Mindfulness and the Transforming Anger worksheet.

    This suits anyone who feels stuck in a mood or a loop of thoughts. If anger or old pain is strong, start with the breath instead, and go gently. Stop when you need to.
