Find the True Source

When joy, anger, or sadness appears, do not look only at the outer cause; turn inward and find the place from which the feeling is actually arising.

Open-endedCore: Witnessing

Practice style

  1. When an emotion appears, let the outer object move into the background for a moment.
  2. Turn attention toward the bodily feeling inside.
  3. Remain with the feeling itself rather than the story around it.
Do Not Lose the Witness
The method is only an entrance. Whether it uses breath, dance, sound, darkness, sitting, or relationship, what matters most is gradually seeing what is happening rather than only chasing an experience.
