Can meditation get rid of pain and suffering? And when pain arises during meditation how can we tell if it is physical pain or psychological pain or trauma?
Rupert says if, during meditation, you experience pain in your body check that it is not an abscess or a growth or something like that. If it's not, the chances are that it is old residues in your body of emotional trauma from early in your life. In that case it's not physical pain but a manifestation or contraction in your body that comes from emotional suffering. It should not be resisted - it should be welcomed.
Physical pain, on the other hand, is supposed to be resisted. That is an expression of intelligence. It's not the separate self that avoids physical pain. But the avoidance that takes place in emotional suffering is the avoidance of a separate self. You have to distinguish between the two.
