To: Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, 7 August, 2010, 11:40 I have always thought the zen way to experience emotions is to experience them FULLY and COMPLETELY. That is - when you have joy, soar with it, feel it into your bones, BE joy. And the same with all other emotions - yes, even the 'unpleasant' ones. If one is mourning, then mourn fully, cry, wail and moan if you feel like it, etc. What I DON'T always do is act in the world on my emotions. If I get angry I don't throw things or hit people. But I may go off by myself somewhere and cuss and holler or whack a stone with a stick. Artie ================================= FROM: Over the hills and far away. . . The way to do is be. Lao Tzu
