Letting the Storm Pass Through
A student describes a growing ease with difficult emotions, a sense of aliveness in the body, and the loss of the ability to make feelings into something tragic.
I would like to describe my body sensation experience. During the meditation earlier, there was a very strong feeling of gravity. It was very nice. My legs, my feet, everything tingling. It all feels healthy and peaceful. I feel more and more open, with less and less resistance to what is happening, whatever stories come up, whatever people I come across. Even people I don't like. I still don't feel too much emotion around the idea of disliking somebody. It feels smooth. I feel even more drawn to these meetings and really enjoying more and more of life, less complaining. Everything goes so well.
I feel things in the stomach. Whatever thought or emotion arises, it is like a stomach ache. I just feel it through and don't push it away. It goes when it goes. If it doesn't, it just lasts as long as it lasts.
At the most painful point of this stomach ache, what I can see is that it is just a feeling. The feeling is just a feeling. No matter how much I want to make it into something tragic, it is still just a feeling. I have lost the ability to make it into something tragic.
You lost the ability. That is so good.
Yes. It is not a realization, but it is an experience.
Well, it is a consequence of a realization.
I don't feel like I realized anything. I heard the message a long time ago. I understood it mentally. I don't need to realize anything.
That sounds good.
The body alive
My body is still tingling all over. It is electrifying. The whole body is electrifying. I am speaking to you and it is electrifying. So much tingling.
When you started sharing, I was feeling this really lovely warmth. A joyful, very subtle, joyful tingling warmth.
Yes, that is how I feel.
So beautiful. I am so happy.
Staying with what opens
You are so inspiring. One thing you told me to do was to just keep noticing. The other thing you pointed to was to let the thoughts storm through me. I really embraced that. I took your pointing in as much as I could. Anything you think is tragic or suffering, just be there with the suffering and let it open. I think it works for me.
That is beautiful. I am so happy. It is so felt. I can feel it so clearly, and so it is real.
I have no doubt. And no questions.
It is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. It is such a pleasure.
