Emotional Rescue: How to Work with Your Emotions to Transform Hurt and Confusion Into Energy That Empowers You

Více o knize

In this transformative work, acclaimed Buddhist teacher Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche illustrates how to liberate yourself from the grip of emotions by cultivating awareness and understanding. While emotions enrich our lives, they can also lead to tumultuous highs and lows. By learning to engage with our emotions skillfully, we can extract their wisdom instead of allowing them to dictate our actions. The root of emotional turmoil often lies in a lack of self-knowledge. By bringing awareness to our emotional experiences, we can diminish their power over us. Rinpoche presents a three-step Emotional Rescue Plan: Mindful Gap, which creates a safe distance from emotions, allowing us to work with their energy; Clear Seeing, which encourages recognizing the broader context of our feelings; and Letting Go, which involves releasing physical and emotional tension through exercise, relaxation, and mindfulness. Each step deepens our understanding of emotions like anger, fear, passion, jealousy, and pride. With dedication and practice, our emotions can guide us toward a more compassionate, creative, and fulfilling existence rather than leading us astray.
