When we practice meditation that brings our attention to our bodies, we may become aware of many aches and pains in our bodies that we hadn’t noticed before.  These could be very subtle or they could be very noticeable.  A pain or discomfort in a particular area of the body we may be inclined to try to get away from it or change it somehow, which is a natural reaction.  If the pain isn’t a result of some specific physical problem, like in the knees for example, then this may be a chance to really deal with the potential for release and healing. Let this be your beginners guide to meditation.

Many unresolved issues are actually held in the form of tension or discomfort that is held in the body.  The subconscious holds the past that has not been healed.  The body is a kind of storage for the subconscious to keep things that have not been completed in our lives.  That is why in meditation we may discover pain from this, welcome it and use it to release the original hurt.

When we are able to release, we start to gain insight into what we might have been holding and how it has appeared in our lives.  If we have an ongoing pain in our right shoulder, we may find through meditation the source of this was based in a childhood experience with our father.  We are given a way to gain insight into ourselves through this childhood reflection from the father.  The real issue is not based on what the father did, really.  Rather, it is a reflection of something that existed within ourselves.

We might become aware of patterns that exist with all men because of this childhood issue that we’ve gotten some understanding about.  We may see our patterns of relating – or not- to men.  We will realize in the end that this is a distorted pattern within our masculine polarity.  Many times we will discover that if we trace back in our lives, a problem with the masculine will relate to our relationship with our father, and if it with the feminine, it will be connected to our initial imprinting with our mother.  They will both reflect and mark what we bring to our lives, and the universal rule of sympathetic attraction will cause us to be drawn to the parent that will allow us to work out the karma we have chosen in our lives.

The case with emotional pain is similar.  We will be free to notice the process if we really notice and stay with the experience of emotional pain in our bodies, if we can feel this and try to be patient with it. This includes coping with anxiety and depression.

Whenever we experience any discomfort either physically or emotionally, we can’t take the time to just sit and meditate.  However, the practice of meditation will enhance our ability to really be available to the experiences we have in the rest of our lives that may be challenging, and through this we can become empowered.
