How to Untie the Pain

If you go regularly into deep meditation, the knot of pain in your heart could be a resource. Well understood pain in a kind heart may transform into healing energy.

Do a body scan. Close your eyes and wiggle the toes of your left foot to be mindful of that foot. Next do the right foot, then the left leg and so on. At some point you reach the beating heart. Next comes the other heart, the emotional heart, the “place” where you find love, fear, hope, joy and suffering.

Open your heart to love. Open yourself to a Presence who will massage the hard knot of suffering. Feel the stroking of the tight place within you. As it untwists just a little, you will let go the first drop of pain. When you let pain go, magic happens. It turns radiant and changes you. You in turn will change the world around you.

WARNING: Do not try to untie the knot in the heart of an actual physical person yourself. Leave it to the Ultimate Presence. I have made this mistake. Going deep is dangerous. Even if you are both serious at meditation, you can get thrown way off balance. You won’t even realize it until hours or even days later.
