Hello everyone,
Here's a recent Q&A with someone who contacted me about experiencing the pain body (more on the pain body here).
In this question the pain body manifests as intense heat, but it could manifest in someone else as any uncomfortable repetitive emotion or repetitive negative thoughts.
Question:
Hi Adam,
I haven't contacted you in some time and I hope you are well.
When my pain body tries to get a reaction and I don't respond, I then get this intense heat in the body and I sweat a lot.
But I am now realising how odd it is, and I don't believe in it as much as I used to. Then I'm the observer of it. Then the heat/sweating stops almost immediately.
But what does it mean? To me, I think it's as if the pain body is trying whatever it can to get an "explosive" reaction and it's not.
But, why intense heat????
It's draining and I started a new job recently. I'm really enjoying it. But dealing with my pain body is making me act in bizarre ways.
Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
Hope you are well too.
That's great that now you are noticing and taking it less seriously (or not giving it belief like you used to), it starts to stop immediately.
Continue with the same approach and it will get easier and easier, and the pain energy will get weaker and weaker.
Why heat? I can only guess that it is some form of resistance. Resistance in other forms (rubbing your hand against a desk, for example), will produce heat. I think it's just a form of resistance.
I think that you are right - when you don't react, even more pain comes at first to try to drag you into a battle. Another way to look at it is old pain comes to the surface and is released. I think the way you are handling it is very effective.
That's great you are enjoying your job. Let that be your main focus of your attention - the fact that you enjoy your job - and that will help diminish resistance without you directly trying.
The only other thing I could suggest is to APPRECIATE moments of ease or calm. What you appreciate, appreciates, and your clarity will grow stronger by itself. This appreciation could be as simple as saying "I love feeling calm and clear", or "I love feeling at ease" - whenever you feel remotely calm or at ease.
The more you notice and appreciate the calm moments - the stronger that energy grows in you, and it will make the pain energy even less believable if it ever returns.
Focusing on or appreciating the good and calm moments really works wonders for dissolving background pain without any effort. One day you might be in a situation that was formally a trigger, and then you will notice that it no longer triggers your pain body anymore.
Sounds like you are doing great.
All the best,
Adam
