Pain: There is a Yoga pain place in our being, that Lance has a good perspective on. It is that strength one gets when one loses consciousness of not just the pain but even the body. Its almost being beside oneself or outside oneself and the pain is an extraneous force. In an experiment in this philosophy, one day we exercised for 20 minutes and concentrated on the pain, then a week later, doing the same exercise, but this time concentrating on being aware of our entire body and the pain as just a part of it. The difference...first time 25 minutes was my limit. The second time, 60 minutes and still going.
