# 32 Dangerous Emotions

What makes emotions feel so dangerous, and is there a way to handle them without letting them run our lives? In this engaging episode of Gangaji Podcasts, host Hillary Larson sits down with Gangaji to chat about the primitive nature of emotions like anger, fear, and sadness. They discuss the instinctual urge to suppress these feelings and explore whether this is truly necessary or even helpful.

With light-hearted banter, they consider how wild animals experience emotions and compare it to the human tendency to overthink and judge our feelings. Gangaji suggests that instead of trying to control or escape from emotions, we might find freedom by simply allowing them to exist without judgment. The conversation delves into the idea that emotions don't define us, and that understanding this can lead to a deeper sense of self.

Gangaji shares her own experiences, adding a personal touch that makes the discussion relatable and authentic. Listeners are encouraged to reconsider their relationship with emotions and recognise the role of the mind in amplifying emotional experiences. By letting go of the stories we attach to our feelings, we might just find a little peace in the chaos. So, are you ready to stop running from your emotions and see what happens when you just let them be?
