Non toothache by Jan Cook 

When we look closely at how we are feeling we can recognise that we have Pleasant, Unpleasant and Neutral feelings.
Our practice, our intention, is to recognise when we have a neutral feeling and transform it into a pleasant feeling. We have enough conditions to be happy! When we have a toothache we know without making an effort that this is unpleasant. When the toothache goes away we experience such relief, that we are happy and our feelings are very positive….for a while…… very soon we forget the happiness of non-toothache and go back to “normal” neutral. By monitoring our feelings, we can bring up the memory of non-toothache and transform the neutral feeling to a pleasant one - how wonderful not to have a toothache!
