One cultivates spaciousness or awareness which allows you to acknowledge the emotions and see them as part of the human condition.

If someone asks me how to get into their heart, I give them this practice: I Am Loving Awareness. ~ Ram Dass

Meditation means to be constantly extricating yourself from the clinging of mind.

No separation anywhere.
Pure awareness.
Neither this, nor that.
Just clarity and being. ~ Ram Dass
