The term equanimity appeared in the hot trend today. It is related to one of the entries in the Oscars. But I would like to approach this topic from the definition and its relevancy in the meditation.
Equanimity is defined as peaceful balance of the mind. It is also called the essence of enlightenment because only through equanimity ones can attain enlightenment.
In meditation, there is no sensation like pain. We learn how to observer it. When the pain tries to overpower you, try to find the centre of the pain and see how far the influence goes. You can also divide the area as if it is someone else's pain that you are observing. Slowly you will detach the pain from your body. Keep trying. Be as equanimous as possible. Soon, you will reach the stage where pain will not bother you anymore.
