Unit 5

Hello All,

I had a hard time with this exercise for some reason. I believe my biggest reason is the fact that I am in pain. Recently I injured myself and I am currently on crutches. So right now my mind is consumed in pain. My mind kept going to the pain and the crutches for some reason. I literally felt pulled back to pain when I was trying to let it go. I felt as if I had no control over my thoughts almost helpless. So I decided to use the anchor visualization and felt myself being pulled in different directions.  Then strangely once I concentrated on breathe to just being calm and I actually lost the feeling of pain. I am sure no one will believe this but my foot was not hurting anymore. I think it’s because I did not concentrate on it. I was concentrated on my breath and the stillness in the moment. Then out of nowhere I totally became freaked out. I can barely walk and within 15 minutes the pain had left my foot and I became completely calm, still, and peaceful.

This all but made me really think of how my spiritual health is affecting my mind and body.

 During my meditation I thought of nothing but yet I felt light, love and god within me. Flowing through me and keeping me grounded. From there my mind became strong and behind that I felt the pain leave my body. I did not know I could possess such a power. I saw this as a power and something I wish to master. I have read stories about people who THOUGHT themselves out of pain. People who go into prayer and come out healed. I am not sure I believed it until this exercise. It shows the power of the spirit and mind. The way the body responds to things we have control over. I think that in my personal life being a skeptic over certain spiritual things has affected my mind. I never felt a strong sense of spirit as in I was always questioning.  I am in a growing phase spiritually and see the difference in my life.
