I believe this is what I have needed all along. Growing up, I never knew the labels of emotions I was either good or upset. Upset could have been sadness, fear, anger, frustration. However, listening to you, for the first time, I connected. I have always been sensitive to sound. I've been trying to ask one of my grandchildren to stop yelling. I tell him, "that hurts my ears". He may lower his voice for a moment then return to his ver lous talking. I can't fault him because he is on the spectrum, but it makes my relationship with him difficult. Thinking about your suggestion of empathizing with others, I wonder if maybe I ask him if he is bothered when others yell or express what goes on inside my body, and have both of us try to name the emotion, maybe we could make it a bonding moment. Anyhow, before listening to you, I had search for something to help me identify my emotions in the moment. Your/ this meditation was just what I needed. I also liked how you said listen to your heart..I know that is where my emotions arise from. Thank you so much. Light and Love to you, Kathy Gauthier
