Possibly not what you had in mind, but the ‘Eliminate arisen unskilful qualities’ looks like the dragon is going in for a big hug, which is precisely the right technique for this

I’m sorry, but this is really sacrilegious. “Google is your friend”?

When I was a kid dad played a Tim Finn song “There’s a fraction too much friction” which I had completely forgotten until it randomly popped into my head while finishing off my run at SN48.39
@moderators, I’m aware that the uploaded file size is not nothing, but have seen people upload bigger. Let me know if it’s too large, I can shrinkydink to lower quality.

Another prod for Sītibhāvasutta AN6.85…
Ajahn Brahmali once said during a death meditation that we’ll quite likely be in massive pain and/or doped up to the eyeballs. Sounds legit, and so recalling high brow theories at that time seems unrealistic. Nice and simple…
