Finding Peace Amidst Pain

A woman describes losing herself in intense pain, unable to locate happiness and peace until the pain passes. Rupert acknowledges that sometimes pain can be so excruciating that one loses oneself in it, but suggests viewing oneself as the aware space in which pain appears rather than being identified with the pain. He points out that all experience, including physical pain, arises from within awareness and must be made of awareness. He recommends visualising breathing the luminosity and emptiness of awareness into the density of the sensation, which may soften it to some degree, noting that at least some of our pain comes from resistance to it.
