"Feelings are just energy of all different kinds. As you practice, you become familiar with them." – Jack Kornfield

In ancient traditions, shamans believed that naming the dragon gave us power over it. The same can be true for our emotions. When resentment, fear, or grief arise, simply naming them can create space for awareness. Fear, for example, can transform from a vague, terrifying sensation to something you can recognize and understand: "This is fear." Through naming, you create a relationship with the energy of your feelings, understanding their physical sensations, and letting go of the stories they tell. Over time, this practice expands your tolerance, allowing you to fully experience your humanity. 🌿 #emotionalintelligence #emotionalawareness #innerpower #
