I agree fully with you. Being the witness is what it's all about, and thats what I was meaning when I say just to be with your feelings. Observe them and let them take there course inside of you... it sounds like your acting yours out... words suck!
: Hi there
:
: I understand what you mean by simply
: being with the feeling. But at one
: point, I became really confused,
: because for a while i just felt the
: feeling, and i seemed to get worse,
: that is, i was negative, in a bad
: mood all the time, and it affected
: my relationships with others.
: therefore, it was quite destructive
: in a way. so, as i said, i got
: confused with the whole feeling the
: feeling thing. so, i decided to
: incorporate more mindfulness
: techniques into my work, which has
: provided some amazing insights -
: it's more like watching the thoughts
: and feelings, rather than being the
: thoughts and feelings. i feel
: mindfulness has helped especially
: becasue i don't feel much at all - i
: think a hell of a lot, but have
: realy trouble feeling.
: i feel that the book only slightly
: touched on mindfulness (the
: witness), but it's an extremely
: useful tool.
: regards

: Ok, this is where I'm at with these
: things we call emotions, or blocks.
: You have to surrender to them, and
: when I say that I'm saying just feel
: them... accept them and just feel
: them. Don't think about them, and
: don't think about other things or
: even what the cause of the emotion
: might be. Just embrace it and be
: present with it. Oh and a trap I
: have fallen into in the past, and
: probably still do is that I would
: have a goal to be happy or over my
: so called downfalls, you have to let
: go of that to! Just accept them and
: be with them, and see how long the
: pain lasts.
: To be at peace in the moment is true
: fulfillment I know because I've been
: there. The problem is just staying
: their.
: Well that's where I'm at with all
: this. I would love to here of any
: insights you may have as to where
: you are.
