This ancient powerful meditation helps people deal with any strong emotions they are feeling (from whatever cause) - grief, anger, anxiety, fear, self-criticism - not to bypass the emotions but to feel and accept them into the heart, transmuting them into love/compassion.

It isn't a diversion from taking positive action, but rather a way to resource yourself so you can continue being present and taking action without emotional burnout and harmful/hateful reactivity.

The state it brings you to will support you in responding skilfully to any situation. It is a way to stay centered in the heart while moving forward, whatever turbulence is in your life. It is one of the most effective practices that I have come across for healing oneself and the world, which is why I am passionate about sharing it!
