Deep dives

Understanding Shenpa and Its Impact

Shenpa is a Tibetan Buddhist concept often translated as attachment, but it encompasses more than just that. It refers to the 'hook' that triggers our instinctive tendencies to close down emotionally when we feel threatened or hurt. This reaction to be hooked can lead to negative emotions such as jealousy, anger, and self-denigration, pulling us away from clarity and openness. Recognizing shenpa can help alleviate the feeling of isolation many experience when faced with these emotional triggers, promoting a more compassionate understanding of our reactions and encouraging personal growth.
