But do we have to suffer as much as we do? Twenty-five hundred years ago, the Buddha discovered that practices of mindfully observing our feelings and emotions can help us gain some distance from them. In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Feel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Maria Heim provides new translations of essential early Buddhist teachings on mindfulness meditation and connects them to recent findings in psychology and neuroscience. A superb meditation manual and insightful exploration of psychology, the book also provides a brief introduction to Buddhism and features the original Pali-language texts on facing pages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawing from the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSamyutta Nikaya\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an early canonical collection, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Feel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e introduces Buddhist practices of mindfulness. Using them, we can watch feelings come and go like winds passing through the sky. We can observe what causes our negative emotions and learn to shift our attention to other things. We can see where emotions lead us and learn to redirect them. We will still feel, but, with practice, emotions will have less control over us.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJust as they did in ancient India, the teachings in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Feel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e offer today’s readers radically new and more enlightened ways to experience emotions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eThe Buddha Edited and translated by Maria Heim\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003ePrinceton University Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eHardcover, 264 pabes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eISBN 9780691267395\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PRINCETON UNIVERSITY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47013812502763,"sku":"9780691267395","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/1061\/files\/9780691267395.avif?v=1761846523","url":"https:\/\/store.hammer.ucla.edu\/products\/breathe-through-it-an-interactive-guide-to-ease-your-anxiety-through-meditation-visualization-and-breathwork-copy","provider":"Hammer Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
