Pain can be physical, mental or emotional. Physical pain is a basic necessity for the body. Just imagine, if we could feel no pain in our body we might accidentally hurt ourselves or start styling our faces, hands, and legs the way we style our hair today! Actually, pain is a letter of request, written by the body to the mind, saying, ‘Please pay attention to me!’ because attention is energy. When attention is given to a particular area, that attention becomes energy for that area. When the body communicates pain, it is actually asking for attention or energy, which willing help it heal. Mental or emotional pain is the you feeling that arises when you are faced with something you don’t like.
Research shows that emotional pain
can deeply disturb the physical
body. For example, the
psychological feelings that arise
with sexual repression can result in
lower back disorders, or the pain of
shouldering too much responsibility
can cause pain in the shoulders.
Whether the pain is physical or
emotional, an important thing you
need to understand is that pain is
always born from resistance to the
present moment.

Tell them we are going to touch the heat, and because of the focus on our fingers and the heat, we will see how much longer we can handle it until we feel no pain at all. Everyone puts their fingers on the hot water bottle without moving or removing their fingers. First it feels hot, but as we focus the pain goes from intense to rather enjoyable or not even noticeable.
