Freeing Yourself from Emotional Hooks: The Tale of Two Wolves Within
Have you ever noticed that moment when something triggers you-a criticism, a memory, a fear-and suddenly you're caught in an emotional spiral? This is what Pema Chodron calls "shenpa," the Tibetan word for attachment or being hooked. Taking the Leap explores how we get caught in these patterns and offers a revolutionary approach to breaking free. Rather than seeing our emotional reactions as problems to fix, Chodron invites us to view them as doorways to transformation. By pausing in that crucial gap between stimulus and response, we discover a profound truth: we already possess the wisdom and compassion needed to navigate life's challenges. Imagine two wolves battling inside you-one representing fear and aggression, the other embodying compassion and understanding. Which one wins? The one you feed. This Native American teaching perfectly captures the essence of Chodron's message. We all have moments when we're hooked by anger, jealousy, or insecurity. What matters isn't that these emotions arise-they're part of being human-but how we respond to them. Think about your last argument. Did you feel that familiar tightening in your chest? The rush of defensive thoughts? That's shenpa at work. But what if, instead of immediately reacting, you created a gap-a momentary pause to feel the sensation without getting swept away by it? This isn't about suppression or spiritual bypassing. It's about recognizing that we have a choice in how we respond. The practice begins with simply noticing when you're hooked. This small pause contains revolutionary potential, not just for personal peace but for breaking cycles of aggression that ripple through families, communities, and nations.
