About this session
- Releases emotional charge
- Eases overwhelm
- Clarifies your next step
- Reconnects you with purpose
This meditation does the opposite of most: instead of asking you to settle down, Emily Fletcher has you lean into the frustration first. She fires off fast, blunt questions about your life and the world, and you let your body react instead of your mind. Then the questions shift to "What would I love?"
It's for the moments when the news, your family or your own to-do list has you saying "WTF." Use it when you feel too wound up to sit quietly, even while walking. It leaves you with a calmer head and a next step to take.

Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does this meditation start by stirring me up?
Emily says most guided meditations ask you to calm down and breathe, but here she wants you to "stoke the fire" and fully feel it. Each question is meant to peel away another layer of stress, so the charge behind the WTF can be transmuted. Only then can you ask what you'd love and actually hear an answer.
What does it mean to let my body answer, not my mind?
The questions come quickly, and you aren't meant to think them through. Emily says there's no need for your intellect to keep up. Let your cells respond, and notice that the emotional charge may rise or fall. Whatever your body wants is fine.
What is the "hand you've been dealt" idea?
Midway through, she says you can't change the hand you've been dealt, only how you play it. She then asks what the most fun way to play it would be, and what would bring you joy. It moves you from "why is this happening to me?" to "what can I do?"
What happens in the second half?
The questions turn toward your gifts, what you're great at, and what you'd love to solve. You're asked whether you can turn heartbreak, stress or rage into action, and what would make your future self and your kids proud. Then you ask "What would I love?" for yourself, your family, your town and the planet.
What is the future self part at the end?
You invite in the most evolved version of you, who whispers in your ear and offers hints and clues. Emily says you can't veer off your path, so you simply ask the question, watch for cues, and take one step at a time. You can rest there or end the session and stay open to your next best action.
Can I do this while walking?
Yes. Emily says at the start you can sit, lie down, or even walk if you're too amped up to be still. It suits that restless, charged state well.
