8: Instead of actively trying to push away the sensation, we make friends with our pain. We get to know it better, get less tense and thus feel less pain. Be utterly curious about it…notice how it changes from moment to moment, notice exactly where it’s located, where it begins and ends, try to look into the pain and see what it looks like…imagine you’re seeing the feeling under a magnifying glass and slowly studying the edges of the pain…does the feeling have any colors or textures?
