The practice then is to catch the suffering before it turns into thoughts. I tried it, and it feels unpleasant. And it's like going against the habit of the mind. I will try it a bit more to see if the suffering can dissolve.
The body, emotions, mind, ego are all teachers and when you are suffering from one of these, which you feel is suffering, then you should look into yourself, it is not an easy job but must be done or the suffering will continue. In the physical pain it is also a teacher and if one searches the answer will be found. We have to realize that nothing happens to us but through us taught by a Master Teacher. I can honesty see how we as powerful creators teach ourselves through our bodies, emotions, mind/ego. My sister passed from breast cancer last year and it deeply hurts when you lose a sibling. I started to search as to why this happened to her and why she made the decisions she did. There is a book called The Healing Power of Illness (Understanding What Your Symptoms Are Telling You) by Thorwald Dethlefsen and Rudediger Dahlike, MD. I realized all my questions as to why about my sister and also it pointed to my illness and why. I get it now. If your emotions, mind or ego is the cause of your suffering it will lead to physical dis-ease. It is good to understand and know yourself. This book would help many to know themselves and understand at the laws of the universe. May this aid in whatever way you are suffering and know you are loved.
