Yes, this is important because all pain even physical pain is in the mind. Most psyical pain is held in the mind as an idea as much as 70% of the hurt comes from the idea you hold in the mind and the fear of the pain in the mind. All other pain, emotional, mental is created by and experienced the mind! When one realizes that they are not their mind, all suffering subsides, not just intellectually (which is also in the mind), but intuitively, from the place where your true being comes, from the light of god.

You can practice this simple meditation.

Sit down and relax.

Just try to be aware of your thoughts, without analyzing them or following them. Let the thoughts come and pass through your mind, while being aware of them, but without any interest or emotions involved.

Usually, when thinking, there is involvement with the thoughts. One gets immersed in the thoughts, with one thought leading to another thought. In this meditation you are to be the observer of your thoughts, without being involved with them.

This is a simple, but not so easy to practice meditation. You will find again and again that your mind is following your thoughts and being involved with them, instead of just watching them. Every time this happens don’t get frustrated, and also don’t fight with your thoughts. Just stay calm, and again and again bring your attention back to watching your thoughts, as if they are outside of you, don’t belong to you.
