Based on a translation by Thich Nhat Hanh, he included two exercises to take care of our painful feelings.
I find it quite a helpful method whenever painful emotions arise during the course of everyday life and I hope you will find it useful as well =)
1. Recognizing Painful Feelings
When a painful emotion arises, recognize and embrace it with the mindful breathing and the following gathas:
Breathing in, I'm aware of a painful feeling in me.
Breathing out, I'm aware of a painful feeling in me.
2. Relieving Painful Feelings
After recognizing, embrace the emotion:
Breathing in, I embrace my painful feeling.
Breathing out, I calm my painful feeling.
Some relief already?
May all be well and happy.
