So, no volunteers for the rope-embedded-with-thorns-being-passed-through-the-tongue gig then?

Here's what psychotherapist Susie Orbach had to say about the effects of pain in the programme: "If you can create a feeling of pain in the body and you survive it, you can move into either a state of, not quite ecstasy, but out-of-the-ordinariness, a sense that you can transcend, you can do something rather special."

I've been experimenting in my last couple of sessions with the combination of pain and spirituality and, although I can't claim to have seen God, the devil, different parallel universes and the like, it's been... ummm... interesting, and rewarding, I'd say.

Btw, check out the statue of the Goddess Tara which is oject number 54 - phwoar!!!!!
