Kensho are moments in which you experience temporary pain that drives personal growth. Examples of Kensho moments include break-ups, the death of a loved one, losing a job, failing at something. All those are components of life that we all, like it or not, must experience before we can achieve success. A Kensho moment is the universe’s way of telling you that hey, maybe you’re just not on the right path. You’ve been sidetracked, distracted by something that isn’t meant for you, and it’s time to recalibrate and put yourself back on the path of personal growth. On the other hand, Satori are also moments that trigger personal growth, but they pop up through a sudden spark of insight. Satori moments are what most call the moments of enlightenment. These Satori moments happen at random.
