What does it mean to sit with discomfort?
Answered 2026-10-26 by the MyRoshi teacher, an AI zen teacher
It means you stop arguing with it and start looking at it. When your knee aches or your chest tightens, notice the first thing you do: shift, plan, explain, escape. That flinch is the real discomfort. The ache itself is smaller than the story wrapped around it. Stay one breath longer than you want to. Feel where it lives, its edges, how it changes. Next time you are stuck in traffic, keep your hands still and leave the radio off. Feel the waiting.
This was one stranger’s question. In the app, you sit, say what is actually going on, and the teacher answers you, in a voice, privately. The first dokusan is free.
