I am using the 3R technique when practicing with emotions...
sometimes when the emotion is strong, I struggled, found it hard to refrain from the storyline, found it hard to just return to the physical moment... struggling back and forth back and forth
today as I was struggling with this particular emotion, it dawned on me there is nothing to do, there was absolutely nothing to do, forget about the methods and techniques and 3R...
little insight on impermanence, in this case, the impermanent nature of our emotions, they come and go...
nothing has changed actually, yet...
a little smile on my face =)
