A question I often get is about physical pain. Here’s how I answered one participant at an online event:

Q: Physical pain is quite a strong invitation for me, and it keeps coming often. The clearer I get, the stronger the pain invitations are. My question for you, David, is physical pain the same kind of invitations?

A: It is, actually, and it’s a reflection of an imbalance. Lots of the aspects of physical pain are to do with the way that the natural resources are being compromised, and so there are invitations. But my feeling is collectively there is a clean-up operation. I think that it’s becoming more apparent.

There are different remedies in terms of physical pain. In my experience, the most beneficial ones come effortlessly. It’s having the sense that the solution can appear quite easily. For example, a friend of mine recommended cayenne pepper, which can help clear the arteries and the vascular systems, increasing blood supply to all the major organs. Another friend suggested vitamin D3, which has helped me, as well.

So, when there are suggestions like this, and something requires balancing, then a solution appears. It’s having the sense that Effortless Being will take care of things. Effortless Being is not only the focus in terms of maintaining that sense of impersonal, effortless awareness, but also knowing that the solutions we require will come effortlessly to us

To some degree, not disregarding necessarily, but shifting the focus away from the physical ailments. Changing the focus can have quite an impact too. Whatever we put our attention on expands so it’s having a light approach to it, really. If there is some physical pain, it’s really not allowing that to be the center of attention. Whatever can be done to minimize that sensation, then the better. For instance, a balance between rest and activity is quite good with physical pain, because we can have a certain amount of rest where the pain can minimize, and then there can be some activity which gets the system going again, and there can be a change in focus sometimes. We find we’ve been distracted by something, and the pain has disappeared.

We’ll be talking about physical pain and health, among other topics in our next online meeting. I’d love for you to come.

With love,
David Bingham
