RAIN TOOL

In this week's Episode I talk about the RAIN Tool (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) that Tara Brach talks about in her book Radical Compassion. I use this tool on myself as well as coaching clients to start to recognize all emotions and thoughts and not judge them. I have other tools to use on painful or unhelpful thoughts but the first step is recognizing the thoughts or emotions we are having and just allowing it all to be present with curiosity. Feel the feeling in your body without judgement and allow them to be there. Most often, they have a message for you or are trying to help you in some way.

What is the message you need to hear from whatever emotion you aren't allowing?
