? I have been meditating intermittently for more than a year, and I think the biggest help for me is to decompress and get along with emotions. Decompression means doing relaxation meditation before going to bed if you feel tired all day, which is particularly effective for relieving stress. No matter what problems you encounter, meditating for ten minutes will calm your heart, accept and allow emotions to exist. In the past, when emotions came, we first used our brains to analyze and judge right and wrong, but often ignored the feelings of our bodies. Emotion is like a spring. The more you suppress it and control it, the more it bounces back desperately. If you let go of control and simply feel and accompany, it will calm itself down.
? I think it takes three steps to get along with emotions: awareness-feeling-exploration. First of all, when the mood is coming, I should be aware of it and realize that I am in the mood. Secondly, feel the body without judgment, let the emotions flow, find the exit and get guidance. Finally, try to perceive what is the button that triggers my emotions. Why is this matter, this person and this situation so unacceptable to me? Why am I aroused by such emotions? Then explore your own internal model. With this awareness, our emotional buttons will not be triggered so easily. Body and mind will become healthier, calmer and happier.
There will be different gains from continuous meditation!
