Mi'sen

I'm taking the rest of the day off to sit and look at this until it either melts into liquid gold or else consumes me entirely. This is more important than maintaining an overly efficient work ethic for the benefit of some wankers in suits.

I don't trust people who pretend to not get angry or sad or whatever else - but I also have tremendous trust in the fact that all emotional experience, no matter how positive/negative, pleasant/painful,can be experienced as the vibrant dance of spaciousness....

....which means absolutely any emotional experience can be taken as the path: and present a remarkable opportunity to look at our conditioned way of experiencing and conceptualising emotions. Seeing how we attach to, repress, act out & distort the emotional energies of the body.

Most of the time, practicing with a little anger can be good fun. I've learnt however, that when it gets very intense the smart thing is to completely stop, sit down, and practice. Because if you act it out or repress it, the cost can be high.

expanding on what I said yesterday, here's a small thread from @euvieivanova which I appreciate, and mirrors a lot of how I've been taught to practice with emotions:https://twitter.com/euvieivanova/status/1043087043004383233 …
