a Flu, a bronchitis
and the body and mind gets affected.
For weeks on end no energy.
And there is no one who is bothered
by the lack of life force.
There is simply what is.
Just as breaking 3 bones in the foot 10 months ago was never experienced as a problem.
Resistance to what is is increasingly evaporating.
And the welcoming of whatever wants to show itself
allows an ever deeper sinking in and as Presence.
It is interesting to see the residues
of contractions of the past
( which can be viewed as resistance to what was)
being tickled out of their hiding places,
Finally allowed to release the charge.
Allowed to relax the tensions in the guts,
and the holding of unexamined beliefs.
Finally it can be felt.
Finally it can let go.
So instead of the habitual response to resist the feelings
of discomfort, sadness or pain,
(which are after all only sensations felt in different parts of the torso in varying degrees of intensity)
to rejoice,
as Love and Presence take their rightful place again.
Now becoming ever more Now
As attention is no longer captured by past stories,
but free to be with and as whatever
at this moment.

If I take a pain pill for my back problem, does it mean I resist to the feeling of the pain?
ReplyDeleteHi Unknown, sorry for not responding to your question. I have not looked at my blog for some time. As to your question. There is never one answer. Is the cause of your back problem mechanical? Did you slip or hurt yourself carrying heavy loads?. If yes it will need rest, and perhaps pain medication. If the pain is not due to mechanical problems then perhaps it is due to past tensions or traumas in the body. And you can experiment with feeling the pain as it is. See if it is possible to be with the pain, the discomfort and the emotions without a story.
ReplyDeleteBut always, if the pain is too much see a doctor.
If it is possible to be with the pain and the resistance to the pain be gentle with yourself. Just be aware of everything without wanting to change it.
With Love
