We learn to recognise our child within, the function of our loving-kindness is to soothe and relieve our difficult emotions. Just by holding this child gently, we are soothing our difficult emotions and we can begin to feel at ease. When we embrace our strong emotions with loving-kindness and concentration, we’ll be able to see the roots of our recovery. We’ll know where our suffering has come from. When we see the roots of things, our suffering will lessen. So Stages Meditational practice recognises, embraces, and relieves our internal grief.
