Tom, the resident head of science at Headspace HQ, has been researching meditation and emotional wellbeing. He says, “It’s really exciting to see the growing wealth of research looking at the effects of meditation—its power to increase our emotional awareness and how it affects our emotional health on a daily basis.” There's a practical technique for investigating and increasing your understanding of how and why you feel the way you do. Focus on the breath and allowed the mind to settle, turn your attention to the feeling of anger, sadness, anxiety, or whatever emotion is bothering you. Where do you feel it physically? Is it in your arms, legs, chest, stomach, head. Moving closer to the feeling in this way may seem a counterintuitive. Once you have pinpointed the area, rest your attention on that point in a very light and gentle way, still aware of the movement of breath but in a much more general way than before. Now imagine that the body is breathing through that very same point. It is as if the body is naturally breathing in and out through the area of discomfort. By doing this exercise on a regular basis you'll very quickly begin to understand emotions in a whole new way. Tom put in plenty of hard work and time in studying and researching emotions. He has came up with a new study that people can use to study their own emotions. With sitting down and relaxing and just thinking about it, and imagining and everything else, it enters you into your body and emotions. It helps you so you can learn to control your emotions. It doesn't seem like an all around difficult method, so if you would like to learn more about your own emotions you can do the method.
