One of my teachers talks about 'leaning into feeling' - that's what I think about everytime my brain begins to think about things that aren't typically construed as 'positive' - grief, anxiety, etc. I try to be compassionate and experience it as part of the spectrum of experiences of feelings that this body has. They pass much quicker that way. And gratitude is a good one too. Good post.

Indeed.
Each time you have compassionate to one of the "dark" feelings you are making a step of acceptance. As if you have many children, all scattered around, some are frightened and unloved, and you, being their angelic mother, assemble them under your loving wings.
Oh! that's sooo beautiful!!!!
