He talks about sort of observing the pain, and doing breathing exercises, which I guess sometimes I would do to, maybe it is some way to isolate the pain from other senses, then when you feel it, you can sort of categorize those senses away as noise, and zone it out. I remember practicing this once when I was teenager as an exercise. I read this in some book about becoming a ninja, (I don’t remember the title now). I went outside in the winter barefooted and stood still in the snow and as it started to make my feet hurt I just kept allowing myself to feel the pain completely and while doing a breathing exercise. After that I could run outside in the snow barefooted without feeling it so much, impressing my friends, lol. It probably wasn’t a great idea, given the risk of frostbite, but it seems similar to one of the methods of allowing yourself to feel it, instead of the cognitive dissidence.
