If we have no peace,
it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
— Mother Teresa

Emotions are experienced as thoughts that are entwined with bodily sensations. They are also expressions of resistance to what is going on based either on fear or a sense of scarcity or lack. Learning to investigate the source and impact of emotions on our inner peace and equanimity becomes an important practice throughout our lives.
