Pay less attention to your mind and focus on your body to enjoy a life free from pain
Pain comes from the mind. The ego resides in the mind. To be free from the destructive effects of ego and pain, you need to move away your attention from your mind and concentrate on your body.
⚡️Regretful memories and anxiety about the future come from the mind and cause pain.
You cannot live in the present because your mind is busy with the past and the future. The solution is to reduce the power of the mind and prevent it from having so much control over our behavior. To do this, we must place our focus on the body.
⚡️You can free yourself from pain and ego by focusing on your body.
The body helps you to seek what is important in your life because it knows what is best for you. Jesus Christ spoke extensively about the body being a temple. He resurrected and ascended with his body and not just his mind or soul. You cannot ignore your body in your quest to find happiness.
⚡️The body helps you focus on the things that really matter. Enlightenment comes from being at one with your body.
Buddha undertook a 6-year abstinence coupled with fasting in a bid to separate himself from his body. While he felt separated from his body, he didn’t find peace or enlightenment in the endeavor. Enlightenment came only when he felt at one with his body.
