Coming Home to Your Emotions
These emotion practices invite you to gently turn toward what you are feeling instead of immediately pushing it away or reacting to it. You will practice recognizing emotions, making room for them, listening for what they may need, and responding with greater kindness and care.
Use the audio practices below at your own pace. You can return to these recordings as many times as you like throughout the week.
