Hello everyone, I met with a tai chi teacher. He asked me to put my hands Out, I did as did he and for 15 minutes he was as I would describe It, giving me a very gentle energy and it felt like wind Going in between our hands. After that I went to his friend who is another tai chi teacher. She gave me acupuncture and told me it would help my healing (i had a drug problem, broken foot, broken heart) if I Practiced standing and imagining the center of the earth (yellow)coming through My feet up the center of my body and the heavens (white silver) Going down through my body. After 5 or more minutes Place your hands on your abdomen under the navel for3 minutes. I've been practicing with what i term good results, however Now I "feel" everything SO much more than before. I find it very difficult to eat out or I should say eat anything besides fruits Veggies, nuts, occassional meat, drink soda, no way I would do Any sort of drugs, no coffee, no hard feelings. If I do any of Those things my body feels SO horrible after. is this normal? I did pain killers this winter and now if I drink coffee, eat anything Salty, sweet, or do anything that isn't gentle to my system It feels like I just did a painkiller and am coming off of them.
Painkillers do not dull pain, nor relieve inflammation, they only dull emotional attachment to pain. The point of which is that when you stop taking them the emotions will be very sensitive. This is one problem with taking pain killers. They may save lives when used as necessary, but one becomes used to a diminished emotional integration with the environment. Such that when pain killers are gone then one no longer remembers how to act.That is a very scary time. But not to worry, the emotional balance does come back, even for the most addicted. Consider that it may take as much as half the time one was on the drugs to reintegrate. So it's best to take them as shortly as possible. If you are doing meditations then you are increasing your emotional awareness and so amplifying the sensations of integration. It may be uncomfortable. This is the crux of the issue. Life is not easy even for people who have been straight their entire days. So it will be more difficult for them what have hidden away from the stresses. There's no escape. Best to forge forward and even endure the pains. The pains increase ones responsiveness.
