Cindy, thanks for sharing the Happiness video. Last night I had to deal with some BTP, Break Through Pain. When that happens, I go to my "tool kit" of "remedies"— stretches, ice pack, cooling salves, pain patches, and so on — trying one after the other until the pain calms down. It was comforting to view all of the activity and all of the pain as fleeting variables, with my benign-by-design consciousness below it all as the only constant, the only view that put the whole experience into sortable perspective.
