IMS Retreat 2012 Q&A Group A#1 (1:27:00-1:28:53)
Yogi: When I ask what is the mind experiencing, I could see an agitated being rushing here and there that comes back to complain that there is a pain in the knee and wants to get up. Is this totally silly? How do I deal with this?
Sayadaw: Always remember to come back to the awareness. Always recognize that there is awareness at work already – and, no judgment about the experience.
Whatever thoughts that are happening, you’re already aware of that – so, just recognize the awareness repeatedly.
