Hey T, I guess if I'd had a choice I would have probably chosen that (the pain) away but nobody offered that. :-) According to Jundo it is not supposed to hurt that much for that long but it did and resisting it just didn't make sense at some point. I don't know if equanimity can be achieved by choice; I guess I simply gave up :-). Gassho, Irina Hi Martin and thank you for your words!

Hey T,

I guess if I’d had a choice I would have probably chosen that (the pain) away but nobody offered that. :-)

According to Jundo it is not supposed to hurt that much for that long but it did and resisting it just didn’t make sense at some point. I don’t know if equanimity can be achieved by choice; I guess I simply gave up :-) .

Gassho,

Irina

And, you were able to just "be" with it along with all the other scenery of the mind?
