Mindfulness of Feelings

In Buddhism, feelings (vedana) are not so much about emotions — but more about the feeling tone of pain or pleasure that accompanies a sensation. One can be aware of three different feelings: pleasant, neutral, or painful. Something interesting about neutral feelings: is a neutral feeling after a painful feeling feels pleasant, and a neutral feeling after a pleasant feeling feels painful. Imagine there’s a scale where feelings are more pleasurable as they go up the scale and more painful as they go down. When a hit of pleasure wears off, anything that comes below that on the scale will feel unpleasant in comparison — even if it is a feeling one would normally classify as pleasant. <a href="https://medium.com/@richiecuthbertson/mindfulness-of-feelings-16bdbf7667b3">Website</a>
