I suspect, based on what happens when people start meditating, that your mind was flinching away from a lack of distraction that normally keeps the parts that are suffering occupied. I’m pretty sure this is why most people find it easier to concentrate while listening to music: they need to distract themselves enough from moment to moment suffering to get enough mental slack to get anything done.

A somewhat disturbing implication. But worth considering just what I am still doing some repression/avoidance about. Thanks for the comment.
