I noticed this experience a few weeks ago.

I was having big trouble getting to sleep and my partner's snoring was agitating me. I decided to relax and meditate.

I noticed myself trying to "cure" my agitation. I decided to accept it. But then I realised that I was forcing myself to accept it. Instead of some 'conscious decision', I eased into just being conscious of it. I just felt it and it washed away, replaced with a feeling of pure contentment I've never experienced before. That applied to "trying to sleep" too.

I slept well not long after that. It was a profound feeling.




Vipassana has helped me with so much physical and emotional discomfort and pain, precisely in this way.
