[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 621142, member: 17461"] One and a half minutes?!? Oh, you have given us a primary weapon, Recovering. I so dread the emotional days and days. 90 seconds, I can do. 90 seconds. I can sit with whatever the emotion is, for 90 seconds. I am reading Pema, too. Not the same book. One of her earliest ones, I think. I have been using the "just thinking" concept to disrupt thought chains, story lines. Not just in meditation, but in day to day life. It has been an excellent tool, a wonderful way to increase self awareness without judgment. "Thinking." And now, this incredible piece of information. I had always envisioned emotion as flashing through a trough worn, deep and twisted and dark, through the emotional centers of the brain. I felt helpless to change my reactions without digging as deeply, without facing and reinterpreting the initial emotional overload. Sort of like changing the course of a really deep river. But this concept of 90 seconds and a story line.... Wow. Change the story line...why, that would be done through intent. Through knowing how I want it to feel to be me, to have been me, to be me, tomorrow. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
