Breathe in deeply to bring your mind home to your body. Then look at, or think of, the person triggering this emotion: With mindfulness, you can see that she is unhappy, that she is suffering.

Life is a miracle, and being aware of simply this can already make us very happy.

Reconciliation is to understand both sides to go to one side and describe the suffering being endured by the other side, and then go to the other side and describe the suffering being endured by the first side.

In us, there is a river of feelings, in which every drop of water is a different feeling, and each feeling relies on all the others for its existence. To observe it, we just sit on the bank of the river and identify each feeling as it surfaces, flows by, and disappears.
