- Heather Nevay
When I realized emotions come, go and appear again, thoughts became hollow.
When I stopped identifying with an emotion, it lost its desirous hold over me.
Now, an emotion arrives as I observe it in stillness, without desire, existing on its own.
The emotion has changed for me now, looking and feeling distant, not the real me but some fleeting concern about me.
It happens with daily practice, action and persistence. Intelligence is optional.
We can do this with determination; we can with support and trust and action!!!

There are different phases of this process. You have to research, read or through therapy or maybe a good blog this wisdom comes to us. So emotions are shared with all. We all have the same array of emotions. We all have had all these emotions to some degree as humans.
So why identify with something we all share and use. Uncomfortable is a neutral but embarrassing emotion that you can practice this with.
Free yourself from identifying with the uncomfortable feeling when it arrives. Learn to watch uncomfortable and be present with it. Explore it without you being it and it becomes an appendage not you.
