The pain appears and you touch it lightly. And it enters the stillness of who you are. Is the pain a separate energy from you? Or is it awareness? Also, by doing this thing that becomes a gift to stop you and return you into your true self. Which you have always been. When pain appears, we say to ourselves or others, we might say, I am in pain. How do we know that unless we were standing within ourselves in some place that did not know pain?
