Important: Hold the experience gently, opening as much as you can at each step. It is not necessary to feel all of the emotions completely right from the start. The emotions will unfold in their own way. As they do, you naturally move to the next step.
Be in full attention. It’s a progression.
The understanding/knowing will arise spontaneously. It is not something you control or make happen.
