Are you looking for a way to process emotion? Try the RAIN technique, a mindfulness practice created by Tara Brach that can help you emotionally process in a way that’s grounded, compassionate, and healing.  Listen in as we break down the RAIN technique—Recognize, Allow, Investigate, and Nurture—and how you can apply it to your daily life for more emotional resilience and self-compassion.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

The RAIN technique: An introduction to each step—Recognize, Allow, Investigate, and Nurture.
Why this method works: How RAIN helps to break the cycle of self-judgment and over-identifying with your emotions.

Examples of applying RAIN: Real-life scenarios on how to use RAIN to manage overwhelming emotions, emotional burnout, or self-doubt.

Practical tools: How to build emotional resilience and be kinder to yourself.
The power of mindfulness: How RAIN can help you process emotions without being consumed by them.

Challenge for the Week:
Try using the RAIN technique when you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Journaling about your experience is a great way to reflect. Write out the acronym and fill it in—Recognize what you're feeling, Allow it to be there, Investigate what's beneath it, and Nurture yourself with self-compassion. See what shifts in how you relate to your emotions, and pay attention to how your reactions may change.
