Would you listen to my thoughts if I share them. Usually they are not well received here, I even decided to not share my thoughts, but Dr. Strange encouraged 'sharing wisdom'.
So.
Things that happen in my mind (thoughts, imagination, feelings) are connected to what I feel in my body. There are certain forces in my psyche, I can hardly control them, they largely guide my thoughts and behavior, even beliefs. Maybe they are my subconscious.
The important things is that they influence my behavior through my body.
In my muscles there are feelings of micro-stress, stress, fixation and sometimes feeling of hollowness. Sometimes I feel suffering in my body and other kinds of feelings.
Think about it as the following:
-
external event, like somebody accusing me of something
-
feeling of shame in my subconscious
-
stress in my body (butt, back and other muscles)
-
it's hard for me to speak normally, freely, lightly; it may even be hard to breath
-
it limits what how I can respond
-
other people sense that it's hard for me, I am loosing the argument
In my opinion, the most effective way of overcoming the influence of negative forces in your psyche is meditation. I don't know how to do it the right way, I basically focus my attention on what I feel in my body and clear my mind. Over time is weakens the strength of the negative forces on my behavior, but it may take years.
Don't you think that pretty much all your feeling are felts somewhere in your body or at least that some parts of your body respond to every one of your feelings? (something in your mind -feeling in your body -> action)
