So, Jethro, LL's right that only you can answer why you might still be holding onto your pain...let me do my best Dr. Phil impersonation --
What are you GETTING out of it?
You mentioned that these questions popped into your mind during yoga....not surprising to me at all! If I've got something troubling me, often meditation or yoga is the time it pops out...
How do you normally contemplate this kind of stuff? For me, a quiet car and a long drive works...thinking..thinking. Or, writing it down in a stream of consciousness helps too.
One thing I'd recommend -- don't dismiss any thought that pops into your head -- even if it's crazy, it may lead you to another truth.
Why hold onto your pain? I can offer up some of my reasons for holding onto mine...but maybe afterwards? I don't want to "project".
