The Pain-Body

The pain-body is a very useful concept that has been introduced by spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now, A New Earth). It is the accumulation of emotional pain that we have stored in our mind and bodies. This pain-body is a negative energy field, an invisible entity in its own right, and it has certain characteristics:

 • It has two modes of being: dormant and active 
 • Anything can trigger it to become active, especially if it resonates with a pain pattern from our past (abandonment, rejection, not good enough)
 • Like any other entity, the pain body wants to survive. It feeds on more pain, and it wants you to identify with it completely.
 • It loves drama. The more “soap opera” the better.

EFT is very helpful on your quest to detach from the pain-body,  to let go of THE STORY, and (as Tolle would phrase it) return to the only place of personal power: the present moment. We all would love to achieve that – but how?  I believe that EFT is “the missing link” between these two poles.
