ACTIVITY OF THE DAY🔗

Materials needed:

strong smooth rope

PROCEDURE

Have two children try this activity. Each takes one side of the rope and wraps it around their hands. Make a line between them and at the count of 3, they both start tugging the rope. Once either crosses the line between them their turn is over. Ask them to both focus while they are playing the activity and after. When they focus their attention, the pain disappears.

Awareness during pain frees from pleasure and pain.

I N T R O D U C T I O N

When you understand that pleasure and pain are both creations of the mind, you will realize that they are both temporary, they come and go like soap bubbles. Nobody is needed to take away your pleasure, because your mind by its very nature will move like a pendulum to the other extreme called pain.

The only way is to go beyond both pleasure and pain. This doesn't mean suppressing pleasure or forgetting about pain. It is an awareness that transforms pain to bliss which is the energy that exists no matter what the external situation may be. Bliss is your very nature and cannot be lost. Just because of your resistance to what is happening, you feel pain and your natural bliss is forgotten.

Like darkness, pain, whether it is physical, mental, or emotional, has only a negative existence . Darkness exists only in the absence of light. As such, it has no positive existence of its own. In the same way, pain exists only in the absence of awareness. Just as darkness disappears automatically when light is brought into a room, pain dissolves automatically when the energy of your awareness is focused on it.

Goal :

To cause in the child a powerful relationship with pain and how to bring awareness and transform it to creative energy.
