How to Deal with Physical Pain from Sensitivity?

When I’m very open and sensitive, as I am this week, and I go out into the world, my body often reacts with physical pain. I think I experience denser layers of experience as physical pain. Do I need to withdraw more and stabilise before going back outside? Rupert says: ‘No, you can go out into the world now. You just have to feel deeply that what you are cannot be hurt by the world. Therefore, you don’t need to defend yourself against any agitation, unless you’re in physical danger. If your physical pain is some kind of defence against agitation, it’s because you feel threatened by it. If you move through the world feeling that your being can’t be hurt by any agitation, and if your physical pain is caused by your resistance to that, it will probably diminish.’
