I've spent some time wondering why it works this way, that some pain is good, and other is not. It used to be more easily explained for me because I didn't play with people besides my partner, so I thought it was more based on the relationship to the pain-giver. But I've discovered it works with other people too over the last several years. I'm a person who spends much of my waking life being the organizer and the rememberer, so there's always that soundtrack of thoughts and plans running. You're right, the pain interrupts this, and I get to live in the here and now, where there's no room for distractions. I sometimes approach this during a really good yoga class too, but not nearly as completely. Thanks for this.
