What follows is a guided, re-meditation and rain is an applied meditation bringing a

weave of mindfulness and compassion to a place of emotional difficulty.

To let your attention turn inward and take a few full breaths.

Scanning your life, sensing if there's a situation that's challenging right now, perhaps

a conflict with somebody, challenge at work, financial difficulty, health difficulties,

a behavior and addictive behavior you're struggling with, something that brings up difficult

emotions, perhaps anger or fear, shame, anxiety.

And I invite you not to choose something that feels traumatic because that won't serve

in a short meditation.

And when you pick out your situation, let yourself go right to it, imagining in your mind

the scene where you are, who you're with, words that might be spoken.

Let yourself get in touch with the frame in this mental movie where you feel most triggered,

most reactive.

Once you're in touch with strong feelings, we begin the rain practice.

Rain is an acronym, the first letter stands for recognize, the second for allow, the

third for investigate and the fourth for nurture.

So we begin with recognize and you might sense that you can recognize what emotion is

strongest inside you right now.

What has been triggered?

Is it fear?
