I was happily sitting in the airport – reading my book and enjoying the hustle and bustle around. A large family came and sat directly behind me. Suddenly I felt a tremendous pain in my neck. I tried massaging my neck, moving it from side to side but I could not get comfortable!
Finally I stood up and strolled into the next section. Sat down and read my book again. No pain! Wonderful relief. I settled into my book for several minutes.
Then I thought: “I wonder if the pain would come back if I returned to my previous seat.” I returned to where my original seat was still open and the family seated just behind. No sooner had I sat down than the pain settled into my neck. I chuckled as I walked away. “Now that’s an easy way to get rid of a pain in the neck.”
This was my first clear understanding – that I have a physical response to other people. I have since discovered that my pain in the neck could be another’s pain in the butt. It isn’t always a linear path.
Instead of being overwhelmed by sensations I now know which are mine and tune into others’ reality in order to guide them to healing. Pain causes inner tension and pulling back. I help people fill into themselves.
It is easy to experiment for yourself. Just change your location and see what happens. The key with this is not to judge or blame. People will get sticky about others causing them pain. Curiosity may have killed the cat but can bring life to you.
