She nodded. "Of course. Though I will only give you some, as part of point of the exercise is to help you learn to find these ways for yourself. But I can share with you some of the ways I approach this task myself."
She kept moving through the easier form as they spoke.
"One thing I remind myself is that out of even the worst things, good things came. If we hadn't been betrayed and seperated, for example... we would not have made so many friends. We learned a lot. About ourselves, each other, other worlds. We would have gotten there eventually... I hope. But we also learned where we stood on our path the Mastery. And I learned to not underestimate Ven, to see how much he had grown up. So that is one method. To think of the good that came from the bad as you speak. Not to credit the good to the person who caused the bad, but for the sake of your own heart."
A small quiet smile.
"Another way to help yourself is what we are doing. Physical motion. channeling the emotion into your motion. There is a reason the words are so similar in so many languages. Let the burn of the emotion be felt in the burn of your muscles. At later leaves you'll be able to do this all while seeming still and relaxed. But we shall take this a bit at a time."
"So," she said, still moving fluidly, "Are you ready to try?"
