So delving into feelings might sound like indulgence, but I would say that the
willingness to meet your experience nakedly is a form of fearlessness. Trungpa
Rinpoche taught that fearlessness is the willingness to meet and feel your fear.
We could expand that to say fearlessness is the willingness to meet, face, include,
make room for, welcome, allow, open to, surrender to whatever we’re
experiencing. It’s actually quite brave to acknowledge, feel, and open to your
need for healthy attachment and connectedness, for example, especially if you’re
relationally wounded. Indulgence, on the other hand, means fixating on the need
and being run by it.
