Do you have chronic pain?
I’ve gone through various phases with it.
During childhood, I had daily migraines.
(Turns out that’s because I have PTSD from early childhood trauma!)
I’ve had some pretty deep healing phases, including an 18 month ACL replacement that took two surgeries to figure out.
I don’t know if I know what your pain is like, but here’s what my pain was like:
Exhausting
Sharp
Aching
Distracting
Isolating
This meditation is not going to cure your chronic pain.
But it will change your relationship to it.
Pain is a message, not a punishment.
Pain is your nervous system telling your brain, “Something’s off. We need to do something different.”
In your wisdom, you get to decide what that something different is.
Maybe it’s paying the close attention to the pain that seems unbearable, that we will do anything to escape.
Give it a try.
Let me know how it goes.

As Buddhist monk and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hanh, puts it, “We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.”Amy Jahn, certified Mutual Awakening Practice teacher in her upcoming course, will guide you each step of the way through the history of and science behind the Mutual Awakening practice, how the practice came into being and where it emerged from, what you will experience when you engage it, and exactly how to engage the Mutual Awakening Practice so you become fully empowered to practice it with the partner (or partners) of your choice. This course will provide everything you need to know and do (including practice partners) to practice Mutual Awakening and reliably engage real Shared Unity Consciousness. This two person, open eyed, verbal meditation practice is perfect for anyone across all ages, and lifestyles. It's for anyone who has yearned for something more meaningful in their own lives and for humanity.
