Diminishing the pain-body in practice

For years the mountains were my refuge. But suddenly I couldn’t go a quarter mile before I would break down and find myself kneeling on the ground and crying from what felt like the depth of my soul. This is when I started separating myself from the painbody by stating one simple sentence, “You are not me.”

I would repeat this simple sentence as soon as I recognized negative mental chatter in my mind, feelings of depression or outright self-loathing. At first I didn’t recognize it until I was already 30 or 40 minutes into the downward spiral. Soon I started catching the negative emotions or mental chatter at 20-minutes. Eventually I started recognizing the emotions at 10-minutes and now I catch them very early on. On my hikes, step after step, I would repeat the phrase “You are not me.” It was like I was carrying a massive back pack that got a little lighter everyday.

As I hiked I imagined the pain-body like a parasite on my back that was feeding on the negative emotions and thought patterns. Every time I said, “You are not me” I withheld the lifeforce of this painbody. It was in this process that I started to peel my true self away from the pain-body. At the time it was all I could do to be present because I was bombarded with negative feelings against myself at almost every waking moment. 

Looking back I see myself as a seedling desperate for water and light to grow. This process of recognizing my emotions set me on track to start becoming an observer of my thoughts. When we become observers of our thoughts we enter into presence, or the power of now. It is at this point we take back the power from the pain-body and begin to diminish it. 

Energy healing through tuning forks is a powerful way to support the separation between you and the pain-body. The sessions help you to offload suffocating heavy energy and give you a chance to breathe on your path to living a more awakened life.
