  • What is “emotion in focus”?

    • When an emotion arises in yourself, take a step back and observe, “Oh, now I’m angry,” without becoming one with the emotion.
    • We need to move away to focus.
    • This is called associate or Vipassana meditation.
  • In the case of other people’s emotions

    • For example, when others are angry, the perspective of seeing “This person is angry” or “This person is turning red in the face.
    • Avoid being consumed by anger.

Emotions need to be objectivized in order to focus (Emotional objectification).
