If you hold your attention on the feeling, and I mean HOLD your attention on them without any mental commentary, judgement, interpretation, labels, or added feelings, simply allowing them to be - maybe for hours at a time - something different will arise.

Please do not analyze this answer with the "lens" of your experience - just try it. Try it first and see how it works. You are real - the pain is not. The pain is simply interpretation felt in the body.
Alternatively: Do an extremely intense workout that leaves you feeling really good. Then drink a really healthy smoothie (I recommend a green smoothie of some sort). Then do what I said above - it might make it easier. | I'm sorry I don't quite understand you. Are you saying that I should be in the moment and stay conscious instead of identifying with the pain?
