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.

The symptoms of pain and tension could be showing us a place where the body has been holding onto some incomplete issue that was not resolved in our past and is left in the subconscious, waiting to be healed. The body is the repository of the subconscious, where the unresolved or unhealed “past” is stored, or held. In this way the body holds our past unresolved issues. Meditation, therefore, holds the possibility of giving us a chance to become aware of pain, stay with it and use it to find resolution in the release of it.

We may gain insight into what we were holding and how it came to be visible to us as we experience release. If we have an ongoing pain in a place like our right shoulder, we may be able to find the source through meditating and becoming conscious of something from childhood connected to our father. This memory of a childhood reflection related to the father can be the vehicle for giving us some insight into the self. The real issue is not what the father’s actions were at all. He serves as the reflection of something that already existed within the self.

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 is the same for emotional pain. If we really allow ourselves to experience our emotions in our bodies, to be present to ourselves and honor what is happening, we will be able to notice what develops during this process. 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. You can also look to learn yoga for stress relief.
