@algancao – On Meditation for Pain
Meditation is challenging to the mind in that it requires one to focus on something boring. Ultimately the mind gives up and just shuts up. Fri Jul 24 15:29:29
What remains with stilled mind the Taoists call the “host”, while the verbal part is the “guest”. We ARE the host, the brain is the guest.
From the perspective of the host mind, sensations of the body (thoughts too) can be seen as something transitory, happening to someone else.
In meditation, pain can be perceived as happening to the body, but not to you. You feel it, but it is like it isn’t your problem.
