Quick Answer
Why did that one comment bother me so much?

Because Sun Prana temporarily magnifies your identity. Tiny interactions feel much bigger than they actually are. It is a moment where your ego is fully activated, demanding respect or validation.

Duration: 2–12 Hours

Immediate Leadership Responses

Every email, phone call, and conversation suddenly feels personal.
