There is a Tibetan word, Shenpa, that many of us can relate to. Shenpa is the root of all aggression and reactive craving. It is that all too familiar feeling of wanting to "bite the hook" when someone criticizes or judges us, or they simply say something snarky that catches us off guard. Shenpa is that volcanic urge underneath that wants to react, to be right, or to put someone in their place who has wronged us. Shenpa is the voice of the ego. Shenpa awareness is key for the authentic self to prosper.
