Join me for a brief, peaceful meditation (option #2) that is designed to help you practice having the observer stance towards your thoughts and emotions, allowing you to accept them for exactly what they are, and then allow them to pass through. This exercise helps us to change our relationship with our emotions by acknowledging them and experiencing them rather than allowing them to overtake us or avoiding them altogether, because as we discussed in the episode prior to this one (Part 1), every emotion has value and a purpose within our joyful headspace.
