So being in the now is not about the pain. Unless being in the now for you would be focusing on the pain that you are in. What about the chair you are sitting on, and the light that is shining down upon you. The air that is blowing on your face.. Etc..
Yes i would agree. i think that we do have limitations on awareness in the now. At these times we can focus on other things. My approach would be to constantly practice the presence which would bring another factor into the equation. i think that mindfulness is a good practice. There are times that practicing the presence would help for me and there are times when mindfulness should be used to remedy being absorbed in practicing the presence when there are practical matters to take ccare of.....
