          Thank you for this site; this is my first time here. I hope my contribution will be useful, tho' I'd in no way compare it to the Ericson's refs listed here, and there being few others listed:

          Recipients of massage and bodywork usually get around to asking some very interesting questions about pain; ie: delayed pain, referred pain, how medications seem to effect that, etc. I've also looked into how and why different people store pain (in the body) in different ways, via different circumstances, as well as for different lengths of time, and the various psychological and metaphysical considerations around all the above. (The relation here to "body memory" may be more obvious now ?). Eventually I rounded up a number of notes I'd been writing in this regard. Included is a list of factors (as best I can ascertain them) effecting the subjective reality of pain, which section is presented primarily in regard to the physical level, but a creative mind can go pretty far with it. The title and web link for this writing would be "WHY PAIN? Notes on Pain, Awareness & Denial" (Physical and other levels)
