The sensation of pain can be difficult to manage and bring mindfulness into. Chronic pain is a daily practice of presence as it ties our body and mind to this moment, however the long term continual presence of pain can feel heavy on our mind, heart and body. It is hard to not take on pain as your identity "I am in pain, I am pain, I am suffering". By listening to this meditation you can view your pain as a sensation, and create awareness of the other "sensations" within your body and mind that bring a feeling of peace as opposed to suffering. We tap into a deeper layer of the body, our essence, a space where we hold deep peace and equanimity. As we practice tapping into this space we can eventually live and function from a space of calmness, even amongst pain and suffering. This meditation is useful for those suffering from chronic and consistent pain. Anywhere on the pain scale from 1-10 but for an extended period of time that is causing deep irritation within.
