The FEAR practice - from Pema Chödrön's ‘Walking the Walk' (Chapter 9)
If feelings become uncomfortable, embarrassing, edgy, fearful:-
Find where it (the feeling) is in your body .. neck, stomach, heart .. i.e., check in to your felt body sense
Embrace it … i.e., accept it, feel it just as it is
Allow the thoughts about it to dissolve …we can practice this throughout our lives … then abide with the feeling
Remember … or recall all the other people in the world who are feeling what you are feeling… whether it be enragement, regret, fear … so it becomes a reference point for our interconnectedness, empathy, compassion.
As a whole - do this with an attitude of kindness, acceptance.
Embrace it, be gentle… we are like all beings over the globe - connected.
