Seeking help working out suppressed emotions

[Tayesin]

Hi,
Got a good laugh from your user name.  Thanks.

There are lots of methods and I have been test subject for a couple while looking for techniques to use.  The easiest is also one that needs bravery.

Prepare for meditation in your normal way, then let your attention drift over your body, noticing any feelings, stiffness etc.  When you have one, breath it into you,  let the feeling come up and flood you.  Most people run about now !  

Be strong when the feeling comes up, keep your attention on it, on purpose.  Otherwise you will drift and escape from it.  Which we always want to do, coz we never wanted to feel it in the first place.

Keep breathing, let it come.  After a while you will notice the feeling weaken, it is.  Many people get an image that comes with the feeling...called a core image.  See yourself throwing it away and walking into bright light.  Then go back and find the next one by feeling them out and follow it too.  Discard each with authority and strength, then move on into light.

Works for me and thousands of others around the world.

Love Always.[]

Thank you for your comments Tayesin.  I am eager to try what you have suggested.  It is funny that you have described this method, as it very similar as a Vipassana meditation that I had been trying to peace together from a book that I recently read.  What you have written seems to fill in all the gaps.  

As for the name, it seems very appropriate for me right now []

Be well

Dear Astral Pulse members,

I have come to a point in my spiritual development where I am having difficutly making "progress".  At times I am able to enjoy a sense of spiritual freedom.  At other times I get a glimpse at what could be and I feel/see that this body could come a blaze of joy and love.  However, I get drawn into these ideas of self and get caught up in jelousy and anger and all those wonderful things that I get attached to and fog up my clarity.  

I have just begun to realize how much I suppress things and have started to reason that perhaps that is aiding in my current troubles.  I have found very little information on how to work out suppressed emotions and would appreciate any advice that people may have to offer.  I do meditate regularly, but I have no idea what to do with this suppressed baggage once I discover it.  Heh, I must run to work or I would type more.  Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about my situation.

Thank you and be well
