I've read an article about pain, that the more depression being experience the more our mind get stress and might lead to different illnesses. Meditation techniques really helps me a lot.

Hi mikemeditate,


While I agree that depression may lead to illnesses it’s important to recognise that some illnesses are not going to go away through meditation alone since they may not be the cause effect of depression but lifestyle, environment, old age etc.

However in regards to emotional pain a have my own view on this.
There has been a lot of emphasis on opening to emotional pain in order to release it but is this how nature works? Any wound heals as time passes, it may leave a scar but that scar is the body’s natural mechanism to protect itself. For me scars are reminders, lessons of what not to do to myself or others. Is opening the scar making the wound go away or is creating unnecessary pain, relieving history over and over again. Isn't what others may perceive as a scar their problem not yours?

Some may see you as not being good enough, not smart enough, not watever enough but that is not what you really are. You are an aspect of live and that makes you special.
Love,
Ramai
