Meditation - Awakening the Tenderness in the Body

The more there's a strong emotion and then the mental state is aversion. And you lose the presence of really inhabiting the full sensory experience. When I can stay with the felt sense in the body, there's a natural tenderness that opens because it becomes clear that it's unpleasant and it's difficult. But yet there's a tender response to that. That's another way that the compassion awakens. Yes. Let me tell you one story. While I'm doing this one drink retreat, so I went to Kemalaya Mountains. Sometimes we have to walk for seven days. There's no car road, nothing. So normally I like walk, but I'm not so fast.
