Meditating With Chronic Pain
I’m back from retreat. I’ll post something about that soon and put up some pictures. But for now look at this question I got on my post, ‘The Dart of Painful Feeling‘:
Linda Said:
So, according to Buddha, there is no difference to Chronic Pain and Pain? Having a dart thrown at me, or being hit in the face,or burned by incense on the arm does sound like no big deal to me, it sounds like nothing really. How do you deal with Chronic Severe Pain? It takes energy to have patience, and long term agonizing pain disrupts the spirit, makes meditation impossible, sends shock waves through the whole body constantly, relaxation cannot happen. Enlighten me.

I hope everyone had a wonderful week. I’m excited to share pictures and thoughts from the Manjushri Retreat, stay tuned!

I dont know how one can medidate with nagging pain. I suffer from restless leg syndrome and can hardly sleep. I found a workaround. Just cover my calf muscles with a clean cotton cloth, by wrapping it around tightly. It has helped me so far.
