When someone's got emotions that are really overwhelming, is there anything that can be? Yes. So sometimes I'll work with people, like have anxiety attacks, and we'll go into meditation and whatever, and it doesn't really work. Or maybe even, you'll find yourself one time or another where you're in a, an emotional situation that's overwhelming. It's actually more than you can handle. And so I've been in those situations before, it takes a lot of courage to use this technique, but it actually can be very effective, and it's called catching the tiger by the tail.

And so what you do is that you go in to that emotion. You're not even in a meditative state, just like a normal and you go in to that emotion with the intention of experiencing it fully and releasing it completely. Now when you do that, there's a couple things. One is that you don't know what's going to work. So you're going to go into your biggest fear or your you know, your biggest anxiety or whatever the emotion is biggest anger, with the intention of healing it, to experience it fully. So it will let go.

And so I hope you're exactly. So this takes a lot of courage. And it takes a lot of intention, you have to go in with the intention that you're doing this to heal and release this completely. So I've experienced this a couple times. One time, I remember incredibly that I was going through a divorce, and it was a second time, you know, and, and I didn't want to get divorced a second time. And I've done everything to grow into heal to not have that happen again, you know, and so, yeah, here it is right in my face and on my plate and I was overcome with these feelings of rejection and the circumstances under which I was getting divorced for almost identical to the same circumstances that I experienced.

10 Years earlier. And you know, I can't believe this, I've worked my whole life not to have this happen again, you know, and yet here it is. And I'm overwhelmed with this incredible feelings of rejection. And so I had enough awareness that time I knew that catch the tiger by the tail thing. And so I went into that emotion of rejection. And I'll never forget it.

So it felt like broken glasses in my entire body like, no, it was, I was just experiencing it as much as I could. And, and then, as I was in it, all of a sudden this shift happened. And all of a sudden, you know, I wasn't rejected, but I was feeling this thing called rejection. So I was no longer identified with the motion, it was only something I was experiencing. Makes sense. And so there was this, there is a shift in awareness that happened, and this emotion rose up and it lifted out of my body, I could actually feel it.

And then it got about, I don't know, like six inches outside of my body was like the size of my whole body. I could feel it. And then it shattered into like about a bazillion pieces. And that was it. And it was gone. And so and I haven't experienced that set of circumstances are that emotion sense.

And so I'm guessing that a real healing happened there by catching by going and catching the tiger by the tail is pretty spectacular. And you don't know until time goes by if it actually worked or if it healed or whatever, but it seems to have and that was like more than 10 years ago. So just go into it and just experience it and then yeah, grab it by the tail. Take it out, take it in and there's there's a you have to go into it and not wallow in it. So you know wallowing in it. It's there's an element of self identifying with it when you're wallowing.

Yeah, you are the emotion instead of experiencing emotion separate from yourself. Exactly. It's easy to say but it's harder to do, especially in the moment when you're like ah, but so if you want to overcome overwhelming emotions, try catching a tiger by the tail and let it devour you
