3. The "Yes to This" Practice
Dissolving the internal war by meeting every sensation with a specific assent.
1. Locate the 'No'
Find where you are tightening, avoiding, or wishing reality was different.
2. Soften
Do not try to fix it. Just notice it. Stop adding fuel to the fire.
3. The Radical Yes
"Even this. I say Yes to this sensation. I say Yes to this emotion."

Be the Sky. Let the cloud (discomfort) float by. You are wider than the pain.
