Description

This episode explores how to be with and move through your strong emotions (fear, anxiety, worry, anger, guilt, disappointment, frustration, etc) with mindfulness and self-compassion using a technique called RAIN.

The acronym RAIN, was first coined by Michele McDonald. I was introduced to RAIN by Tara Brach. You can listen to Tara’s RAIN meditation here: https://www.tarabrach.com/meditation-practice-rain/

R: Recognize what is happening (roots of understanding)

A: Allow life to be just as it is (grounds of love)

I: Investigate with gentle attention (deepens understanding)

N: Nurture (awakens love)
