And by interrupting with RAIN, which is just mindfulness and compassion, it really shifted my inner patterning.

One of the things about it that's helpful to people is that when we're triggered, we have very little access to our prefrontal cortex. We forget how to get back home again. And so this gives a pretty easy to remember sequence. It's not inviolable. Once you go deeper into the practice, you'll find that it's not so logically A, B, C, D. but doesn't matter.

There's still a way in which those elements are crucial. Now, if there's trauma, if the triggering is traumatic, you actually have to start with the nurturing. You have to start by creating more safety before you dive in and try to feel the feelings. And that's an important thing for people to know.

Well, first, I want to agree with you that suffering does have a potential to wake us up. And, well, maybe just to give you an example of how I got turned towards mindfulness. When I was in college, I was probably peaking in angst. I wasn't alone. I had many others angsting, but depression, anxiety, and it really kind of the hub of it was just a lot of self-hatred.

And I remember at one point being on a camping trip with a friend who said, you know, I'm learning to be my own best friend. And how far I was from that. So it just kind of opened up my eyes to, oh my gosh, I hate my body. I feel like I'm failing in my relationships with others. I'm compulsively overeating. I'm not producing. Just every front. That was a real pit of suffering.

And interestingly, at the same time, I was very much a social activist. So I was out there and on the weekends we'd have rallies and there was a lot of agitation there, but I started doing a yoga class. So weekends I was agitated and then Tuesday nights, and it was yoga and meditation. And I remember one night, Mark, where it was right after class.

I was walking home and it was spring and fragrance of the fruit trees. I stopped and realized that my body and my mind were in the same place at the same time.
