One question regarding the bodily relaxation, what do we do if we suffer from chronic pain and specific parts of the body won't relax much, if at all? Should I be focusing more on compassion towards those painful sensations? I had brain surgery nearly 10 years ago, and its left my neck muscles and all immediate muscles extremely tense. Will be seeking PT again for it soon, as this tension becomes so much more apparent whenever I regularly meditate. And while I know the pain itself is not a hindrance, its sometimes hard to not want it to go away. And even when there is no to little aversion, that tension makes it hard to let go of the body (it feels like there's a constant, dull spike going through my vertebrae which makes my throat, neck, and face also tense up)

If I dont meditate, the pain isn't as apparent. But conversely, my attitude towards life gets worse, lol
