Anam Thubten urges us to melt into love. In this teaching the mind is like water: its nature is to flow and to be pristine, but it is usually frozen by anger or fear.
A note from Sean
When we work with emotions, I like the idea of a love tackle, a hug tackle. We don’t attack them. We hold them very lightly and witness them with kind interest and caring curiosity.
Try this today. When anger or fear shows up today, rest a hand where you feel it: chest, belly, or jaw. Ask, “What is here?” with kind interest, and stay for three breaths. You don’t need to fix it.
Keep going: Letting In The Love and Loving Humanity and Melting the Ice.
This suits anyone whose mind feels tight with anger or fear. Start with something mild. If the feeling is big, or tied to grief or trauma, go gently. Feel your feet instead. Stop when you need to.
