Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 Dear , It is true that they hurt you physically and the difficulty comes when you hold a belief that people shouldn't hurt other people physically. What's the reality ? They do. Sometimes I find it helpful to turn the sentence around as in : I am angry at myself because I caused myself physical pain and then see can I find the point of power in the situation, the point of my own responsibility. How was I in the situation where I experienced physical pain? What was I looking for from that other person at the time this occurred? Was there any knowing in myself which said it would be wiser not to go near that person and I did? I also sometimes find it helpful to go inside and see can I find a situation where I caused pain to another person - not necessarily the same person - maybe not physical pain, but mental or emotional. Again that helps to bring me to a realisation of my own responsibility re the pain I experience. Eckhart Tolle's book 'The Power of Now' has a wonderful section where he describes what he calls the pain-body and you might find it helpful to read this. All the best, Sara Jane.
