In working with your emotions, there is meditation for quieting down and seeing how lost you've become. On the deeper devotional path, there is offering the emotion to God or Guru, saying, "Here, you take it, I offer it to you." Appreciate your humanity—Yeah, here I am, I just lost it again. Ah so. Right. Ok—it's the ability to see it without denying it. Saying, "I am upset. Far out. Here we are again." It is like talking with God and saying, "Look how deliciously human I am."
