Bliss Key: Freedom From Compaction
One of the most important of the Bliss Keys that I’ve discovered is:
The German metaphysicist Eckhart Tolle speaks about our collected personal negative experiences – fear, anger, pain, sadness, guilt and the like, operating as a form of consciousness inside of us. He calls this collection of experience the “painbody”.
As humans, we are somewhat addicted to paying attention to negativity. When we constantly attend to our painbody, it prevents us from being fully Present.
Added to our own personal negativity, we also have that of our immediate family lines and also, of the culture we we’re born into and the one in which we currently live. In times of national or local stress and crisis, the lure of the painbody becomes all the more magnetic & misery is amplified. Sum all that up and the energy the painbody consumes can be a hellishly powerful force.
The painbody feeds upon negative input, and its existence is the reason we can sometimes experience very miserable lives.
Tolle and other spiritual authors point to the quality of having a fairly large painbody (most Westerners do) as being “compacted” or “compressed”. This always makes me think of those trash compacter machines back in the 1980’s. Remember those? They took a whole houseful of trash and compacted it into a cube less than a quarter of its original size.
Imagine being only a quarter of YOUR original size. I’m barely 5″5″ in stocking feet. If I were a quarter of my size, I would be less than a foot and a half tall (or, from 162.5cm to 43 cm for the decimal crowd).
Are there days when you FEEL as small as this? As if the weight of the world were bowing you down to the ground? This is the PHYSICAL SENSATION of Compaction – give thanks for this feeling! It is a powerful tool that will lead you towards Bliss.
How? By showing you the opposite of what you really want. Simply flip this state on its back and take a look at the flipside. This is what you DO want. Straighten your shoulders, elongate your upper spine and allow it to pull your entire body upward as you think about what you do want. Engage your abdominal muscles until you feel how strong you really are.
Think about it…

Dear Maryam, thanks for your article. Have you heard of an english Energy Psychology Technique called EmoTrance? Its deals absolutely with the pain body and is very effective. It was created by Dr. Sylvia Hartman and a new book is being published soon called The Love Clinic by Sandra Hilawi. Well worth having a look at. Let me know if you would like further details. Best blessings.

Hi Baya, yes, I know about and have practiced Emotrance – it’s very similar to some of the work that I do if you’ve ever been on a class with me. And I am indeed aware of Dr. Sylvia. How could one not be in our energy community? She’s a great inspiration… Anyone else wishing to learn about EmoTrance, visit its own website here: http://emotrance.com and also the British Association For Meridian Energy Therapies, which Dr. Sylvia co-founded at its main site: http://theamt.com
