A Guided Meditation -- Open to Feelings by Tsoknyi Rinpoche 

Beautiful results from this 13 minute guided meditation. I knew that I was close to yet another emotionally painful meltdown and that I knew there was a guided meditation by Rinpoche about dropping down into your body. I found this one on RU-vid and listened to it three times. The first time through I identified this tremendous amount of pressure in my chest wanting to escape. “Escape what?” I asked as I sobbed out loud. The answer came back “My Life”. The meditation progressed with more small details that just came to me as I kept trying to simply relax within the meditation as instructed by Rinpoche. He tells you that something might change all on its own, and it was when I finally felt that happen that I knew I could stop listening and meditating and get on with my day taking with me new awareness and understanding. One important thing happened while listening. See if you hear this too. At one point he is saying that just allowing is kindness. I heard a person crying just loudly enough for me to hear it. Within less than a second I heard Rinpoche “just relax” in a very supportive and compassionate way, as if to tell this person it’s okay to feel. Just relax and continue. It was in that very quick and easily missed moment that I connected with and almost became that person trying to catch their breath and trying to not cry too loudly. I had been sobbing so hard when I first started listening. I cried hard every time I connected with a deeper awareness of what I wanted so desperately to escape. Then I heard what sounded like another person having a very similar experience. So I knew I was not alone. Then Rinpoche responds very calmly and with caring “Just relax” that I knew I was with the right Teacher. 🙏🏻 I pray that anyone listening can feel the same sense of trust in the teaching and the possibility of healing that I did 🙏🏻.
