“Os aspectos da personalidade que chamamos de eu inferior são como
entidades que têm autonomia própria. Quando se aproximam, elas trazem
uma frequência de energia específica; determinada cor e uma expressão
corporal específica. Através do autoconhecimento, você vai se tornando
capaz de reconhecê-las. Sempre que um aspecto começa a se aproximar
(vindo de dentro e também de fora) você sabe, porque sente em
determinados pontos do seu corpo. Às
vezes fecha o estomago, causa enjoo, aperta o peito ou a garganta. Essas
são algumas das possíveis reações. Então você precisa aprender a
identificar quem está se aproximando e a transmutar essas energias,
dentro e fora de você.”

"The aspects of personality that we call the lower self are like self-driven entities. When they come close to us, they bring with them a specific energy frequency as well as a color frequency. Through self-knowledge, we are able to recognize them and even identify the body language that they manifest in us. Whenever an aspect of the lower self begins to approach us, whether it is coming from inside or outside of us, we know it is coming because we feel something in certain points of our bodies. Sometimes we may experience reactions such as getting knots in our stomachs, feeling nauseous, or a tightening in our chest or throat. We must learn to identify which lower self is approaching us and transform these energies within and without.”

Sometimes we may experience reactions such as getting knots in our stomachs, feeling nauseous, or a tightening in our chest or throat.

Via Daily Dharma: Examining Labels
You
can’t go preventing pleasure and pain, you can’t keep the mind from
labeling things and forming thoughts, but you can put these things to a
new use. If the mind labels a pain, saying, “I hurt,” you have to
examine the label carefully, contemplate it until you see that it’s
wrong: the pain isn’t really yours. It’s simply a sensation that arises
and passes away, that’s all.
