Pain is a basic necessity of our lives; in the absence of pain we may start styling our faces and limbs as we do our hair everyday! Pain is a sign of our body wisdom and renders us integrated humans.

Emotionally and mentally, pain arises out of our resistance to the present. Such pain is additive and creates a negative energy field around us that we can refer to as the 'Pain Body'.

Emotional imbalance disturbs the physical body; sexual repression leads to back pain; a sense of bearing high responsibilities causes shoulder pain; when you are in unfriendly company your body seems to shrink.

Pain calls for our attention; because attention is energy.

We invite pain upon ourselves through a lack of moderation in whatever we do, and often enjoy the pain as it brings us attention.

It is established that a human being can stay alive without food for 90 days but could develop serious mental trauma if he or she is not paid any attention to for 14 days.

To sustain ourselves, we create a low energy pool of ailments, and gladly suffer cold and cancer.
