We live in a sea of Ch’i. We are surrounded by energy and every thought, word, feeling, and deed, that has ever been, is in this sea, this ocean of energy that surrounds us.
So, our tummy starts to churn, our breathing becomes more shallow, and our mind becomes consumed with unpleasant thoughts. We are now being affected physically by this one stray thought. This is the process that we go through time and again when we are not watchful of our thoughts.
The same thing happens with physical pain. We feel a twinge and say to our selves, ‘oh, what was that?’ and we focus our attention on it for a time. Before long, we have a throbbing knee, or elbow, or head. We need to learn to not build bridges of energy to that which we don’t want.
Just know that we are not our thoughts, we are not our feelings, and we are definitely not our pain. All of these are like waves on the ocean. They come in and they go. Crest and recede. It’s the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that we decide to give safe harbour to that may cause us a problem.
