THE ART OF HANDLING A STORM

  When a storm  comes, it stays for some time, and then it goes. An emotion is like that too - it comes and stays for a while and then it goes. An emotion is only an emotion. We are much much more than an emotion. We don't die because of one emotion. So when you notice that an emotion is begining to come up, it is very important that you put yourself in a stable sitting postion. then focus your attention on your belly. Your head is like the top of a tree in a storm. I would not stay there

  When you have focused on your belly practice mindful breathing. Breathing in and breathing out, just stick to this breath like someone on the ocean would stick to a life raft. After some time the emotion will pass.

Do not wait till the emotion hits you or you will not be prepared. You have to practice now, today while you are feeling fine. Practice ten minutes a day and it will become a habit.

 Then when anger, fear or despair rises up you will naturally remember the practice


This is taken from the book "Be free where you are" , by Thich Nhat Hanh

Namaste'

May you always walk in the light.

Linda
