Buddhist Emotional Healing

In this post we'll take a look at how to heal unpleasant emotions with awareness. We will also compare how Buddhist emotional healing differs from conventional talk therapy. Regardless what type of healing method you choose, it's extremely important that you work with someone you feel comfortable with, since healing cannot take place when the body and mind are tense.

Also keep in mind that it takes time to heal emotional pain, you may have to work on it for years. But I can assure you that there is a way out of the hopelessness...

Awareness Heals Unpleasant Emotions

Normally, we avoid anything in life that is unpleasant and that includes negative emotions. But once you give relaxed attention to your unpleasant emotions, you purify or heal the negative energy. All you have to do is lie down on your back, close your eyes and give relaxed attention to the unpleasant sensations in your body. Practice for 5-20 minutes at the time.

For someone who is depressed, for example, the mental state is dominated by negativity which makes it easy to become aware of unpleasant emotions. On the other hand, if you're not feeling particularly unhappy while doing healing meditation, you can think of a painful situation from your childhood. That would put you in touch with painful emotions.

Whenever you give relaxed attention to negative emotions, accept that the healing process is somewhat unpleasant. Giving attention to negative mental states is a form of acceptance. This is really all you need to know to get started with this type of healing.

Buddhist Emotional Healing Versus Talk Therapy

If Buddhist emotional healing purifies the mind, then talk therapy could be said to ease the emotional pressure. In my experience, talk therapy can quickly improve your mental state to a certain degree. For example, if you're deeply depressed, I would strongly recommend a few sessions of talk therapy. It feels so good when someone really listens and gives you attention; and afterwards, you experience a great relief. As if something has been lifted off your shoulders.

Talk therapy does not heal as deeply as Buddhist emotional healing, but it certainly works. Therefore, I recommend the combination of the two. Talk therapy eases the emotional pain while giving relaxed attention to your unpleasant emotions, purifies your mind at the deepest level.
