I have been practicing lately, the focusing of my awareness to simply "just be" whenever I feel physically bad or unhealthy, and the results have been amazing to say the least.
I used to have my own particular protection prayers/meditations (who hasn't here? lol) whenever I felt bad in any way whatsoever...I don't know when this happened, but I eventually thought, "everything is One, I believe this, so why am I trying to do anything other than just BE?"
Anyway, I started letting go of the mental ideas of healing and protection, and just stuck with moment...and practiced that whenever I felt bad. First thing I noticed was that the sensations of pain (lets say, a small pain like a mosquito stinging you) would just become sensations that I was aware of, not ones that actually hurt. Now I still scratched my arm, but it was the first step, lol.
My neck would get cramped, or a headache would sit in, and I would just sit down somewhere, close my eyes, and focus on just being alive. Before I knew it, my attention to anything going on in my body would become nothing, and I would snap back to my senses (sometimes drifting off to sleep for 20-30 minutes), and would feel nothing but a rush of positive vibes from head to toe! I mean like if you took 4 tylenol on an empty stomach and you only had a small headache, how hardcore the vibes of healing are hitting you.
I thought I would share this, as I practice it more and more, I'm starting to see just how effortless just about everything in life can be...by simply remembering to focus on just being.
Godspeed in all your endeavors!
