I
just had a powerful experience. I've been in a lot of
discomfort (pain) the last two weeks with leg cramps and
pain. This morning, as I was doing the Feeling Exercise, I
felt discomfort in my legs and feet. A light bulb went on
inside my mind. I decided to experiment the Feeling
Exercise with my discomfort. I felt the pain and I felt the
throbbing. I removed any thought or judgment around them.
I just felt the feeling. I realized in just a few moments,
that the pain (discomfort) is nothing more than energy
vibrating in my body. It is my God Presence vibrating in my
leg and feet. When I give it an interpretation, such as
pain and fear, the pain returns or increases. When I just
allow it to be, I can literally feel it as a vibration in my
body. It's pure and unadulterated. I am happy to report
that today I've had long periods of pain free legs and feet
and I actually (after a 2 week abstinence) was able to do a
30 minute aerobic workout without pain. I can't tell you
how happy I am! Instead of denying any discomfort, I
actually gave myself permission to feel the sensation
without a thought attached to it.
Years ago, when you lectured, you talked about the
Feeling Exercise. I never understood it until recently. I
asked myself, "How can I feel a feeling unless I know what
the feeling is?" Today, I got my answer. The light bulb
went on.
Thank you for sharing the exercise, Arnold. It is
priceless. Any comments or suggestions on my understanding
of it would be appreciated.
Suggestion:
Just one suggestion: You can call the energy coursing
through your body what it is -- the Power of God
expressing through you, as you.
