you are not not-your-emotions. as if you have to somehow "expand your awareness" to include them. the emotions were aware of themselves all along it's more "expanding the mind and body's capacity to be a home for you"

it suggests a different frame you just build capacity, safety, capacity for vibrancy of expression awareness naturally flows and expands

trying to "expand awareness" to things that don't want that "awareness" expanded to it is like the hallmark of the fuckiness of meditation

any progress that comes with it is more a consequence of being a little more intimate and having a little more capacity to stay with the intensity of it every time https://t.co/OSHdr0Ytd3

Noticing a feeling, connecting to your capacity, & responding wisely as best you can from that place *is the move* The same move, over & over. Capacity grows, a greater variety of feelings emerge, you feel more at once, & the range of possibilities expands, all with that move.

you don't need to go into the psychological mines, and unearth and extricate this emotional information

instead, hopefully whatever emotional bits of you that survived childhood into becoming part of your dominant habits and mind, end up wanting and creating a better home for all of the other bits that didn't

but that stasis or stuckness and bind on self-expression is less "you" than those other bits in the first place

you don't have to pry open your awareness with a crowbar https://t.co/AFveTieXRM

there’s a way to do expanded awareness that’s like prying awareness open with a crowbar and there’s another that’s just like… letting it expand automatically
