In this episode, Craig turns our attention to an often-overlooked dimension of meditation practice: our emotional lives.We’re often taught that the biggest obstacle in meditation is our thinking mind—our thoughts, beliefs, and judgments. But strong emotions can be just as impactful, and often even more so.When we sit to practice, we may be subtly trying to feel better, hoping meditation will deliver peace or bliss. But what happens when we stop trying to fix how we feel—and begin to fully feel without needing to react, interpret, or escape?In this episode, The Practice of Emotional Freedom, Craig invites us into a radical kind of contentment. One that doesn’t come from avoiding our emotions, but from no longer being ruled by them.Together, we’ll explore how to release preference, suspend interpretation, and rest in the deeper ground of being where true emotional freedom becomes possible.We encourage you to tune in at a time when you can listen without interruption.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.
