From the back cover--
Discover and uncover the hidden narrative within difficult mental and emotional states
In some self-help and meditation circles, it’s common to hear the refrain, “Just sit with your feelings.” What’s often left unsaid is how each emotion has its own signature movement or “story to tell.” In other words, sitting with confusion is different from sitting with anger, which is different from sitting with loneliness, and so on. Not only does each emotion have its own distinct narrative and manner of unraveling, but each has its own unique gift to impart to those who are patient enough to sit through the unfolding.
In each of these short books, I focus in on a specific emotional and mental state and present a map of the terrain you’ll likely traverse when you eventually do sit with and process that particular emotion at hand.
My hope is that you’ll find inspiration and value to sit with and to digest these difficult emotional and mental states as they arise and offer their hidden and sometimes surprising gifts.
Enjoyed part 2 more than Part 1 which ended up in wondering , is it that when one belongs to one part the writing makes a lot of sense. After completing part 2 , I jumped back to the closing summary of part 1 . As the author says not a one time read. We may come back and look for particular pages to see through , it's like connecting the dots.
It took me a while to get into the flow, maybe it was a lack of my own concentration, or it was my expectations! I am so looking forward to the next part of this series. The first part is still my favorite! And now, I will try to raise above expectations and be free of desire, I know it will help me and this book gave me tools on how!
