Pay special attention to that moment when pain transforms into intense feeling.
It’s easy to miss.
We become so accustomed, so habituated, to pain that we often begin to assume that we’re still in pain.
Wincing before the pain is felt.
Labeling the sensation without any analysis of the feeling.
Continuing to favor the sore spot even when it is no longer so sensitive.
Just because the pain was present yesterday, don’t assume that it will be there today. Be open. Curious.
And aware of that moment when the pain is no longer pain and has instead become simply intense feeling.
Observing that feeling, it may become an annoyance, a sensation, or a curiosity….and then nothing.
Yes!!
