PODCAST – ECKHART TOLLE

The Pain Body

Please listen when you have time as early as possible this week.

ECKHART TOLLE

Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and The New Earth coined the term Pain Body for the old emotional pain living inside us.

“It is an accumulation of painful life experience that was not fully faced and accepted in the moment it arose. It leaves behind an energy form of emotional pain. It comes together with other energy forms from other instances, and so after some years you have a “Pain Body,” an energy entity consisting of old emotion”

This is a podcast episode from a series of interviews on The New Earth, conducted by Oprah Winfrey. This features the Pain Body and is really worth listening to you when you have the time this week.
