In this episode, we learn to use inquiry to ask questions designed to nurture one’s heart. These questions may include: “How can I care for myself?” “How can I support myself when I’m feeling intense emotions?” When you thoroughly explore the question, you can access your capacity to observe it transparently, without negativity, simply witnessing it as a challenging emotion. Learning how to support yourself when you’re in such a difficult emotion is both subtle and powerful. It is a three-step process of embracing and identifying the emotion or feeling, asking the right questions that will guide you to care for yourself during the experience, then listening to the guidance and giving your best efforts to fulfill what is being suggested. Keep in mind that your tone of voice matters a lot.

This guided meditation will help you to embrace a specific fear or emotion with keen awareness—simply noticing it, being aware of it, and not resisting it. Recognize that when you are faced with a challenging emotion, and you ask questions from your heart or from a self-caring tone, you will begin to feel a sense of safety and security and a direction that you need to go to support yourself. All of us have challenging emotions and feelings, and what's needed is to add this intention, this desire to deeply care for yourself, gently identify your feeling, ask caring questions, respond to the wisdom that comes, and for it to be the center of your daily life. This holistic approach enables you to foster a deeper connection with yourself and a greater sense of tranquility and intimacy with others.
