"Relax your body, observe your natural breathing, and come to attention to the sensations within the body and inner feelings, rhythms, sensations, and awareness of observing the body. Be very kind. Layers of tension will gradually release, places in your body, where you have held the powers of old illness and trauma, will open, then a deeper physical purification, and opening of the energy channels will occur as the knots release, and dissolve. Let your attention drop beneath the superficial level that just notices pleasure, tension, or pain. Examine the pain, and unpleasant sensations you usually block out, with careful mindfulness, you will allow pain, to show itself to have many layers. As a first step, we can learn to be aware of pain, without creating further tension. To experience and observe pain physically, as pressure, tightness, pin pricks, needles, throbbing, or burning. Then we can notice all of the layers around the pain. Inside are the strong elements of fire, vibration, and pressure. Outside, is often a layer of physical tightness and contraction. Beyond this, maybe an emotion layer, of aversion, anger, or fear. And a layer of thoughts and attitudes, such as 'I hope this will go away soon', or 'if i feel pain, i must be doing something wrong', or 'life is always painful'. To heal, we must become aware of all these layers.
"Just as we open and heal the body by sensing its rhythms, and touching it with a deep, and kind attention, so we can heal other dimensions of our being. The heart and the feelings go through a similar process of healing, through the offering of its attention to their rhythms, nature, and needs. Most often, opening the heart begins by opening to a lifetime's accumulation of unacknowledged sorrow, both our personal sorrow, and the universal sorrows of warfare, hunger, old age, illness, and death. As we take the one seat, and develop a meditative attention, the heart presents itself naturally for healing. The grief we have carried for so long, from pains, and dashed expectations, and hopes arises, what we find as we listen to the songs of our rage, or fear, loneliness, or longing, is that they do not stay forever, rage turns into sorrow, sorrow turns into tears, tears may fall for a long time, but then the sun comes out. A memory of old loss sings to us, our body shakes, and relives the moment of loss, then the armoring around that loss gradually softens, and in the midst of the song of tremendous grieving, the pain of that loss, finally finds release. In truly listening to our most painful songs, we can learn the divine art of forgiveness. In this, we discover a remarkable truth, much of spiritual life is self acceptance, maybe all of it. Indeed in accepting the song of our life we can create a much deeper, and greater identity, in which our heart holds all, within a space of boundless compassion."
"Healing the mind takes place in two ways, in the first, we bring attention to the content of our thoughts, and learn to redirect them more skillfully, through practices of wise reflection. Then, for a deeper healing for the conflicts of the mind, we need to let go of our identification with them. When we see that the mind's very nature, is to think, to divide, to plan, we can release ourselves from its iron grip of separatism, and come to rest in the body and heart. In this way, we step out of our identification, out of our expectations, opinions, and judgements, and the conflicts to which they give rise. The mind thinks of itself as separate, the heart knows better. As one great indian master put it, "The mind creates the abyss, the heart crosses it"."
