Caring for strong emotions,
omgaan met heftige emoties
Meditatie en uitwisseling in "de Schatkamer"Maandag Januari 29, 2024 (English below)
Lieve Sangha vrienden,
Maandagavond komen we weer samen in de Schatkamer en deze avond gaat het over omgaan met heftige emoties, zorgen voor heftige emoties.
“Without mud, there is no lotus. Without suffering, there’s is no happiness. So, we shouldn’t discriminate against the mud. We have to learn how to embrace and cradle our own suffering and the suffering of the world, with a lot of tenderness.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
Zijn
er vaak heftige emoties in je? Boosheid, angst, wanhoop? Iets anders?
Hoe ga jij om met heftige emoties? Kun je er goed voor zorgen of laat je
je overnemen door deze emoties of vermijd je ze?
Wij – Ingrid en José – nodigen je uit om daar deze week eens aandacht aan te besteden..
Kaira Jewel Lingo neemt ons mee in de vijfde les/meditatie uit de reeks van 10 lessen ”We were made for these times”. Zij heeft – na een verblijf van 15 jaar – op 40-jarige leeftijd het klooster verlaten, onderricht nu o.a. mindfulness en boeddhisme en heeft deze prachtige serie aan ons beschikbaar gesteld.

Dealing with strong emotions. Dear Sangha friends, This Monday evening we come together with the topic: Dealing with strong emotions. Thich Nhat Hanh writes: “Without mud, there is no lotus. Without suffering, there’s is no happiness. So, we shouldn’t discriminate against the mud. We have to learn how to embrace and cradle our own suffering and the suffering of the world, with a lot of tenderness.” Do you often experience strong in motions in you? Anger, fear, despair or something else? How do you deal with strong emotions? Are you able to care for it or do they take over? Or are you avoiding them?
