54 Pearls: 14 – Emptiness of Emotion
When you are in a bad mood, to the best of your ability examine your mind. Observe this troubled mind, this negative mood. Where did it come from, where did it go, where does it reside? Repeatedly reflect in this manner and you will discover this mood has no source and no destination. After “finding” the empty nature of your emotion, rest in the feeling of that insubstantial quality, that lack of anything to grab on to. As you do this, you will find that gradually your negative emotion dissipates.
