Healing the Pain-Body
Every thought you have is a simple form of energy. When negative thoughts are allowed to accumulate, they fester, intensify and become emotional in nature. If ignored or denied over time, these dark emotions tend to cling to our psyche, becoming tar-like and parasitical. Negative thoughts and emotions that arise from time to time are shamed by the ego and therefore denied or repressed altogether. The more you repress this negative self, the darker and denser it becomes.
The famous psychologist, Carl Jung, called this hidden self the shadow. Left unresolved, these shadow emotions inevitably manifest themselves as anxiety, depression, and emotional violence. In the collective unconscious, these darker aspects of the psyche feed on emotional pain. Both masochistic and sadistic at the same time, this pain-body parasite frequently preys on human hosts.
Contemporary author and spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle, believes in a psychic parasite that he calls the “pain-body.” In his book, “The Power of Now,” he describes this pain-body as an accumulation of past pain stemming into early childhood “caused by the unconsciousness of the world into which you were born.” Eckhart Tolle says that some pain-bodies become physically violent, but most are emotionally violent, and that it is an attack on the physical body — so much so — that some pain-bodies can drive their hosts to suicide.
Many pain-body hosts will consistently take up an opposing opinion just so they can stir up some debate, drama, and conflict. The emotional reaction that they receive as a result of their drama is pure energy for the pain parasite to “feed on.” It is not the truth they seek, it is the energy that is created from pushing other people’s buttons.
Bullies who thrive on hurting people both emotionally and physically are unconscious carriers of this psychic parasite. Heavy pain-bodies can also be found among people who are attracted to violence in TV shows, video games, or movies. The pain-body feeds on both emotional and physical violence.
But pain-body hosts can also be people who do not attack others overtly. Instead, they suppress their pain and keep it hidden. Over time, the pain-body festers and suppresses the body’s immune system. Then disease sets in. Sometimes it forces the host to turn to drugs or alcohol to escape theirchronic emotional pain.
By working with a pain-body counselor, you can learn to identify and observe your pain-body when it becomes active. When you are able to do this repeatedly over time, you will create a space in between you and the pain-body, and subsequently will be able to transcend it, bringing a permanent end to your chronic anxiety and emotional suffering.
