Guided Meditation - Sitting with a Difficult Emotion as a Hurting Friend
David Oromith · 21 minutes · recorded October 26, 2025
A recent worry or difficult emotion is brought up from under the surface and held as if it were a hurting friend. David asks for no fixing and no dialogue, only hello. We follow how it maps across the body, a swirling, a tightening, a pressure, then the narratives and memories, listened to rather than believed. When the mind starts problem solving, the exhale lengthens. It closes on three energetic breaths sighed out through the mouth.
Emotional balance Introspection and self-monitoring Patience, forbearance and acceptance Body scan and body awareness Loving kindness (metta)
