Ra's "balancing exercise" doesn't work for me

[Cannon]

I've personally found a similar technique which works very well. It's basically this: sit down in a dark, quiet room, and then allow yourself to feel the emotions that come up to you in that time. Eventually, after having allowed yourself to experience them, they will dissipate and they won't bother you any more. They'll be gone. The emotions you experience in this can become extremely painful, but the reward of having processed them is around a hundred times greater than the emotion itself was painful to endure.
