And I have also experience what you are going through with the inner-body meditation. I still find it easier to connect to the inner-body when guided, although I do feel it quite strongly at times… Almost as though I have caught a powerful wave and for a few moments the energy is amplified and deeply felt.

I am also a work in progress and feel deeply content in knowing how blessed am I to have come this far and feel such deep peace.

Take care and keep up the good work. Greg

First, a big thank you for the work you are doing here. I’ve recently joined your web community, having engaged with Eckhart’s teachings over the last three years or so. Allowing these practices to be absorbed deeply into your life really does create a paradigm shift within. There are some days when I feel more connected and secure in this than others (the mind sure has a lot of momentum) but as I intensify my practice, I feel an increasingly solid footing, and I’m gaining incredible insights into the workings of my mind, the dominance of the egoic self, and the influence of the pain-body. As I’m sure many of us have experienced, just knowing about the pain-body, and seeing how it has been active in your life, and then (big wow) being able to transmute it through presence, surrender and ‘being with’ the emotions instead of resisting them. The clouds of heaviness and fear – some created by day-to-day ego, some formed from deep, old, psi -body energy – are being dissolved bit by bit. It’s a real gift, so thank you again for spreading and intensifying these teachings.

When I listen to a guided inner body meditation, either by Eckhart or the one you have created, I seems so easy to feel the inner body, and I have no trouble feeling that tingling aliveness in almost every part of my body. When I am alone however, and not listening to a guided meditation, I find it harder to really feel the inner body sensations in areas like the chest and shoulders, and the top of my head. I can nearly always feel it in the hands, feet and legs though.

I wondered if anyone else experiences similar fluctuations in their ability to feel the inner body vividly in every area, and in different situations. I guess it depends to a great extent on how present you can be when you try. For me, it’s a work in progress, but what an exciting and rewarding journey!

Thanks everyone!

Your welcome and thank you for sharing your experience of the inner-body (those tingling atoms/electrons/sub-atomic particles/and those physical forms still undiscovered)! Finding yourself in a state where you are calmly happy, feel beautifully and serenely connected, is a great sign of your embodiment of this experience.

Eckhart has stated that “your degree of peace” is a sign of your progress. And it is so awesome that you are able to bring about, recognize and honor this state. Another reflection of your progress on the spiritual path.

I’m sending you positive vibes for your intention to take this further in to your daily life. There is no end to it’s depth or how much you can draw from this eternal spring of life.

Peace, Greg

Although I have not watched the video what I’ve read so far seem to validate my experience. For lack of a better expression I had refered to this ‘tingling’ as ‘resonance’ which was what the experience felt like. ‘Atoms/Electrons’ in my body resonating to the vibration of Life.

In this state I am calmly happy, feel beautiful and serenely connected, and possibilities reveal themselves. I also gain insights and awareness, sometimes to even unasked questions. I have finally arrived at the point of being able to bring about, recognise and honour this state. It has formed the basis of my daily meditation.

But recently I perceive I can do much more with it: I am in process of taking it a step further into daily active life. ie Being able to maintain the awareness of this inner experience as I carry out my everyday mundane activities.

Thank you for sharing.

The other thing that you need to be aware of is that you live in a collective pain-body. There is some big pain-body energy flowing around the planet that emanates from entire tribes, religions, cultures, and nations. Those are strong forces and you have to be aware of them, or you could personalize a collective flow of pain-body. Imagine all the people psychologically traumatized by 9/11 even though they lived thousands of miles from the site and had no personal connections to any one hurt or killed.

Is it normal not to feel progress? Yes, and it does not mean that you are stuck. Transformation comes in waves. Some days the water is calm and not much is going on. And other days the waves are big and lots of healing energy is swirling around.

So it is important to know in your gut that you are fully capable of transformation and shedding the suffering for an experience of freedom or liberation. I have never wavered in this knowing since around 2002 and I have found this knowing to be an invaluable companion on my journey. And since then I have continually transformed and found ever deeper levels of peace, calm, and joy!

Take care Ann and let me know if you have any other questions!

And as you have experienced, once the pain-body realizes you are aware of it, I find it tends to strike back with greater intensity. This is actually a good thing in the long run, because it exposes itself to the light of your consciousness. That is what will eventually dissolve it and allow you to experience liberation in greater and greater degrees. Just keep practicing acceptance when it arises, and when it is dormant be diligent with your meditation and other practices.

It is the same with obsessive thoughts. Practice acceptance when they are there, then when they subside get back to your meditation and spiritual practices. It is through growing in presence power via spiritual practices that liberate you from the pain-body and obsessive thinking. Practice presence repeatedly throughout the day, and with a more traditional meditation routine, knowing that the fruit of these actions will bring about the change you know is within your potential. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Take care, Greg
