Negative experiences are often the most misleading because we usually take them as a bad sign. But in fact negative experiences in our practice are blessings in disguise. Try not to react to them with aversion as you might normally do, but recognize them instead for what they truly are, merely experiences, illusory & dreamlike. The realization of the true nature of the experience liberates you from the harm of danger of the experience itself, & as a result even a negative experience can become a source of great blessing & accomplishment.
What we have to learn in both meditation & life is to be free of attachment to the good experiences & free of aversion to the negative ones.
