Something different this week: an audio to guide you through a practice of digesting your emotions related to climate change.
This is for you if you've been feeling overwhelmed by the bushfires in Australia, if you feel deep grief and sorrow for the loss of wildlife and bushland and homes and livelihoods, if you feel anger and anxiety and fear around climate change in general.
This practice is designed to help you digest your emotions around climate change so that you aren't ruled by them, either in feeling overtaken by them or in trying to manage your life tightly to avoid activating them. It helps to create emotional resilience, so that you can harness the energy and wisdom of your emotions and use that energy in devotion to whatever you choose.
Please do this at your own pace and listen to the level your body and your nervous system are ready to go to today. Prioritise staying connected to the sensations in your body and maintaining care for yourself over anything else. The audio also guides you through finding a supportive place in your body or your surroundings where you can rest if the practice starts to feel overwhelming.
