Topic: Using The Pain

Pain is something you can with which you can work and from which you can grow. You can work around the edges of your pain. Your pain can be "used" if you mindfully listen to the pain. Use your pain by riding the pain. Use your pain by attending to it as it comes and goes. You can befriend your pain, work with it, listen to it, honor it, and quite often exerting this control over the pain can make the pain go away or at least make the pain bearable enough so you can live. Try to penetrate your pain with your attention and awareness. Now uncouple your thoughts from the attending. Build an alliance with your pain rather than considering the pain to be an enemy. Talk to your pain. In the presence of God, speak to your pain and let your pain know where you stand in God's love and grace.
