16 26: Non-painful Transformation is a Myth
Category: Self Awareness & Transformation
Posted by: ysteban
I watched the program the Biggest Loser on TV last night, and what is obvious looking at those fat people working out is that it is painful for all of them. To change themselves, they have to go beyond themselves
in all aspects: mentally, emotionally and physically. To energize long unused muscles is painful. When you first exercise dormant muscles, you don't feel pain, you just feel resistance. The next day when you wake up then you notice that your muscles are sore. This means that moving your muscles caused you pain, but the pain you are
actually feeling is transformative healing energy. Your muscles are being changed after the stretch of them, and are forming stronger. That is what pain is, pain is the symptom of change in your body and it is healing transformation. If you observe meditatively when you have pain, then you will see that it is also pleasure, there is a conversion of old to new happening.
You can almost see it linearly as in this analogy:
there is the healing tissue on the left, the pin-prick hot painful feeling in the center and then on the right the healed tissue (Like the tissue moves through this line). There is pain from the heat in the healing tissue and when it is transformed the healed tissue gives pleasure. This is actually happening immediately, meaning at the same time you feel pain, you can also feel pleasure.
What your senses pick up in a gross way is pain, but tuning in there is more to it. If one does not accept healing pain for what it is, then one will identify with it and bemoan the soreness - which results in slow healing and/or no healing at all. E.g., a person with sore muscles the next day, may decide to not exercise again. But there is another way to deal with pain and
that is to simply observe it, when you do this, you dis-identify and you can see it different as healing transformative energy.
Kundalini Awakening or the physical transformation of your personality requires alot of pain, because it requires alot of healing transformation to take the 'old you' out, which is composed of 1000's of blockages in your body coming from your personalities repetitive ways of expressing your character. Yes, you can describe the physical symptoms of K. as painful, but it is no more than a strenuous physical workout and it comes from healing tissues, muscles, ligamentsand bones. Okay sometimes it's stronger than that, but know that you will never be given more than you can handle. How you relate to and deal with 'painful' events (mental, emotional or physical) is how you grow. Learning to relate to the transformative 'pain' will allow the change 'to you' to happen. The more you accept pain the more you lesson your personal resistance to change which of course because you've allowed the change, this healing is growing your awareness.
I know there are those that think you can have a non-painful transformation but this belief defies the natural laws of transformative change. It would be like imagining that a person can get slim and muscular again without having to pass through pain, or that a broken leg can be restored to good again without pain. If your body is to change, then you need the heat of transformative energy which you will experience as pain, but you need not identify with it as something to be avoided or as something which is dreadful.
Avoiding the experience of pain, is resistance of change or resistance to be healed which comes from the personality and the attitude of pain avoidance will prevent your transformation.
You will have to surrender.
