Living well with pain is a bit like baking a cake, or cooking a really great meal. Whatever ingredients we use and how well we prepare them and work with them determines the quality of the cake or the meal, and even more importantly whether or not its delicious or not!

Same with working with pain. If the ingredients of our living a great life with pain recipe are say, loving compassion, strength and courage,  peace and power,  will and perseverence, joy and pleasure, then whatever pain comes we bring those qualities to cook with our pain. If we are contracting in pain,  bringing stillness and a deep out breath again and again will change it. What happens to your pain cooking process depends on you. What you bring to it determines the quality of the meal, (or pain)  you get to eat.

Its the same as cooking a good meal, we can cook our pain.

No matter what you might think about, this it’s simply true. If you bring a smile to pain, and cook all along the through the cycle of your pain with a smile, it will change it.  The smile produces something good to eat. You get to smile with pain. Sound’s weird. It is compared to the normal way we deal with pain, with a grimace, and ouch, and crying out. That’s real too. I know it, yet try both. Little by little, gradually  bring a gentle smile to your pain, and see what happens next….
