ADVICE

Distinguish Harmful Pain From Practice Pain

  • Differentiate dangerous pain from 'Dharma pain' and respond accordingly.
  • Back off if harmful; lean into discomfort when it's revealing and temporary.
INSIGHT

Shadow Emotions Create Personas

  • Fear of uncomfortable emotions fragments us and creates personas seeking approval.
  • Seeing and accepting shadow feelings reduces the need to perform.
ADVICE

Treat Intense Emotions Gently

  • Reframe strong emotions as harmless appearances, like kids in Halloween costumes.
  • Greet them with friendliness and offer them space rather than reacting.
