One practice through Shambala, Tibetan Buddhism is dropping the object, which is about 'driving all blames into one'.
What
it simply means is to experiment with dropping the object of your
emotion. For example if you see yourself judging, blaming, having
anger..
🙏
Drop the object of your emotion (a thing, person, group, yourself..)
Feel the actual emotion (anger, fear, loneliness..) and make friends with it
Keep on feeling..
See if the intensity of the so-called poison lessens..
🙏
This
way of sitting with your emotion by feeling has been seen to lessen the
“poison” and the duration of it.. This is because you start to
ventilate in a sustainable way rather than project outwards
(objectifying with your thinking, words, actions).
So you own your
own feelings and many times it can be that these feelings are collected
from far back if you have not ventilated in a conscious discharged
manner.
Finding it such a beautiful practice for being present
with what is, for opening, feeling past suppressed emotions, cultivating
loving-kindness, being centred in yourself, taking responsibility and
for responding rather than reacting.
Also valuable for connecting
with others from the place of love and willingness to understand, listen
and communicate. Very helpful also for those who are interested in #nvc / #nonviolentcommunication 🌱
I find it fitting also for ANY objectifying emotions ❤
Into those so called beautiful ones too.. Same steps:
🙏
Drop the object of your emotion (a thing, person, group, yourself..)
Feel the actual emotion (love, peace, joy, aliveness, freedom..) and "make friends with it".
Keep on feeling..
See if you can really tap into this quality in yourself..
🙏
