Adreanna Limbach on Making Peace with Our Toughest Emotions
Recognizing that it always shows up- shouldn't say always, but I would say of the time it shows up in the moments when I want to reclaim some kind of power over my vulnerability- that there's something really powerful about feeling righteousness and anger and rage makes me feel like I'm back in the driver's seat, I'm in control, and it's very frequently anytime that I'm feeling really tender or heartbroken or vulnerable.
Ever felt like your emotions are a bit like unwelcome guests? In this engaging episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Adreanna Limbach, a head-teacher at MNDFL Meditation Studios in New York City. Adreanna, whose work has been spotlighted in the New York Times and Women’s Health, brings a refreshing take on handling our most challenging feelings.
Her book, *Tea and Cake with Demons: A Buddhist Guide to Feeling Worthy*, serves as a springboard for their chat. Together, they explore how to approach our emotional 'demons' with kindness rather than resistance. Adreanna shares practical tips on how to befriend these difficult feelings and emphasizes the power of vulnerability. The conversation also touches on the Buddhist concept of demons and how recognizing them can lead to more mindful and intentional emotional responses.
Whether you're new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers valuable insights into emotional well-being and self-compassion.
