Feel emotions directly as changing sensations

Apply mindfulness to anger, depression, fear, and other emotions by feeling their punctate, changeable qualities rather than reinforcing them conceptually; includes feeling anxiety as pure physiology rather than as meaning about oneself.

1 / 1

"This is true of mental sensation as well. This was true of emotions, you know, the classically negative emotions like anger, depression, or, you know, fear. The moment you become willing to just feel them in all of their punctate and changeable qualities, they cease to be what they were a moment ago."
