Control the Cause and let the circumstances be...
Control the Cause and let the circumstances be...
In this intelligent physical pain disorder we can effect change, we can reverse the pain strategy by controlling our focus and attention.
We can control/choose/initiate/respond with our thoughts and actions.
We cannot however, control the effect or circumstance that is responding to our focus/attention. Accept this and you can immidiately release tension and anxiety of will this work, how is it working, when will it work B.S.
We make the choice to be more present and aware. We make the choice to be more open, trusting and do our work up-front, not behind the scenes. We make the choice to respond without (anger, jealousy, resentment, ect) which are repression activities. We make the choice to go inside with our feelings instead of entertaining "injury think"--who is going to fix me, how is my body going to be repaired B.S..We make the choice to stop the physical treatments that are only treating symptoms and "feeding' the pain strategy.
So that is our part. That is where our focus is.
The effect, the reversal of the pain strategy, the elimination of pain symptoms is now out of our control. We have done our part. We now stay the course of our new practice of being, allowing, accepting, openness, trust.
Just as the pain symptoms arrived in our body/life with help from our chronic, repressing thinking patterns, they too will leave as we change/switch away from our chronic, repressing thinking patterns.
It is not our job to communicate when, how, where this is going to end. Accept that. Our job is to effect the change in our life through our practice of being open and non-repressing. The bio-chemical process will follow on its own accord.
If you want to add more stress/tension/anxiety to your life/body--try to control how when and where the pain should be gone. Just because we now know what is happening in our mind/body does not mean we have learned the reason for it being in our life. Is it possible we need to learn patience, endurance and/or trust?
