The Ice Pick

I frequently have the sensation of an ice pick in my chest. Usually in the front left corner of my ribcage, to the left of my heart. Sometimes it feels like it’s stuck directly in my heart.

When I’m meditating, it moves to the opposite side, the right rear corner of my ribcage. My meditation teacher said I should focus on that spot when meditating.

I can feel the spike in me, I try to imagine the handle poking out. It’s not unpleasant, just a thing.

Happy Tuesday!
