Difficult sensations, emotions, etc arise and pass. In practice we build our capacity or what is called distress tolerance by recognizing and letting it be. In the beginning it may be that we are with it for just a breath or a few breaths and over time we grow our capacity to let it be without trying to change or manipulate it. As we do this we discover that there is more space to be with all phenomena. We discover a sound is just a sound. No story attached to it and in this way the mind and heart are freer❤️🙏#mindfulness #distresstolerance #bewithlife #clearseeing #wisdom #compassion (at West Broward Insight Meditation Community) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmp7A7mrWLE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Your friend comes to you and talks about their pain. What is your natural tendency? Be honest.🤪 To escape it. No one wants to be around pain. You want to escape. You want to help them escape the pain too. What do you do?😳 You give advice! But to process pain, we sometimes need to sit through it. We need to be with it. We need to see through the discomfort it brings up. And a friend who can sit with us through pain is rare.😇 Can you be that friend? Do you have such friend? #givingadvice #advice #advicegiver #bewithlife #friendsinlife #soundingboard #discomfortzone #discomfort #lifecoaching (at Santa Monica, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXHLWKBEbh/?igshid=7a56o6gizlld
