This short talk is about how it is important to feel and show up consciously for all feelings, whether they're neutral, pleasant or unpleasant. When we are able to be with the unpleasant emotions fully, and work with them, only then we have full access to the love and peace that lies behind all emotions and feelings. The meditation is about taking refuge in the earth, and using the earth to release any difficult material into. This practice is inspired by a meditation I was taught by Lama Rod Owens.
