Mindfulness Meditation: Disturbing Emotions Description:
Courageously Working with Disturbing Emotions

By working with emotions instead of suppressing, denying or letting ourselves be controlled by them, we may avoid causing harm towards ourselves and others. By being mindful, we can recognize emotions, reflect on how they may affect our body, heart and mind, then apply antidotes that may lead to a more balanced approach to life’s circumstances.

January 10- Anger: All too quickly we use anger to react to challenges. The most skillful approach is to recognize anger when it arises, keep it within our mind, reflect on it there, and apply the antidotes that bring us to a more realistic life view.

January 17:-Attachment: The excitement generated in our minds when we attach to people or objects eventually morphs to unhappiness. Analyzing its real nature leads to a better understanding of how to enjoy life more and suffer less.

January 24- Fear and Anxiety: We rarely face our fears or try to deal with them skillfully. Looking at the root causes of fear lowers our anxiety by changing our attitude.

January 31- Jealousy: This emotion arises when we are unable to bear the good fortune of others or out of fear of loss. Contemplating how it disturbs the mind and appreciating what we have leads to more balance and peace in life.

February 7: Pride: The wrong conception of ourselves leads to the mind being “puffed up” due to certain aspects of oneself or one’s life. Distinguishing between pride and a healthy sense of self-confidence is crucial in developing on the spiritual path.
