This is the last of six guided meditations, which will provide you with a firm foundation to begin and deepen your mindfulness, insight, meditation practice.

This session provides guidance in how to work with difficult emotions. We tend to delight in pleasant emotions and struggle to get rid of the unpleasant ones. Mindfulness will allow you to meet emotions of all kinds as guides and teachers.
