Living with physical pain

We adjust we have to

Pain can be alleviated to some extent by pills, marijuana, morphine

But if it goes on then it is naturally very debilitating

Gets you down

Life becomes reduced

Down to what we can bear

Ever been there?

If you have then maybe you found that pain has levels

Has features, distinctive differences, pain is not just one universal type although certain aspects are

Pain has nuances

Going into these nuances can help you handle it better

An old Buddhist technique is to go into the pain until you know every facet

Know every detail

Next time you find yourself in pain

Go into it

Learn every dimension, every facet

It might not remove the pain but it will change your experience of it
