Sunday Service: “Giving Up the Pain Body”

“Giving Up the Pain Body”
Eckhart Tolle defines the pain body as the human tendency to perpetuate old emotions that almost everyone carries in his or her energy field. It is an accumulation of old emotional pain which he calls the pain body. He believes we can stop adding to the pain body that we already have, and we can learn to break the habit of accumulation and perpetuating old emotions. We would do this by refraining from mentally dwelling on the past, regardless of whether something happened yesterday or 30 years ago. Eckhart says any negative emotion that is not fully seen for what it is in the moment does not completely dissolve. It leaves behind a remnant of pain, and children, in particular, find strong negative emotions too overwhelming to cope with.
When that happens, the child tends to try and not feel those negative emotions----especially in the absence of a fully conscious and compassionate adult to guide him.
