The Importance of Holding

Seth Godin: We don't have to get to a better place before we're allowed to show up for our mindfulness practice or for just being in the moment. Our job is actually to befriend it, to befriend hindrance and in tantric practice or in some forms of Buddhism, you actually see the hindrance as a full-fledged monster, if you will, or a demon. And your job becomes to love and dance with your demons and even to embody them  and ask, what is this about? What is this hindrance? That sounds like you were befriending it and we're not used to that.
