The Peace Within Emotions

When difficult emotions like sorrow, despair or fear appear without thought narratives, why does awareness meeting these sensations result in a feeling of peace meeting peace? Rupert says: ‘If awareness is inherently peaceful, then everything that arises in awareness must be made of awareness. If awareness is inherently peaceful, then everything that arises in awareness must be made of peace. Even sorrow, shame, guilt, fear – the stuff out of which it is made must itself be pure peace. If you go into the heart of any emotion, instead of moving away from it or repressing it – if you go deeply into any emotion, however painful it is, at its heart, you’ll find peace or joy.’
