Brutal. Have you checked where the pain is pointing?

LM, I've had a big challenge last night and today. Mostly due to this headache that is behind my eyes. Every-time I'd look for the source of my thoughts/feelings, my eyes would want to track there too and totally hurt.

There was a time, on the path that I could accept headaches and go right into them, and they would be tolerable, but that has been lost to me for a few years now. I tried to do it with the pain too - to look at the source, but not getting anywhere.

I've tried to use other senses but haven't been as successful.

Feels like a firestorm's ahead for me.

It feels like it's pointing within. But it seems like its just my eyes trying to focus up really close which can hurt, so perhaps just a mechanical issue. But I cannot say for sure. I will investigate more.

But I just remembered today what I finally did to help myself - that was to ask myself over and over "what is pain? I know I feel this, and I know I'm interpreting it as uncomfortable, but what is it? What is comfort and discomfort?" And without words - juxtaposing the fact that I've never been outside myself to objectively answer those questions.

Cool, sounds like you're getting the hang of it. It really does take trying things out to see what works for you.....
