I don't know if I'd describe the outcomes I've had from meditating on emotions as good, exactly.
There is some growing up involved, but that is quite a bittersweet experience.
You lose even more than you gain, since you lose both illusions and the situations they sustain.

I don't mean to come across as pessimistic, here.
It's more that coming into a greater awareness of your own emotions leaves you responsible for cleaning up.
And there can be a lot of mess.

Hmmm my intuition is that if we don't become aware and conscious of the mess, we're going to trip over them anyways, without know what's leading to our downfalls.
Read somewhere, paraphrased 'youre not to blame for your trauma, but you are responsible for healing from it'...

Yeah, I mean, I'm halfway just being flippant.
It can be very reckless to jump into this work without a support structure in place, though.
People are frequently told to deal with their shit because it's the responsible thing to do, but that sometimes just looks like imploding.
