The Pain-Body

In Chapter 4, you discovered how the roles you play and the stories you tell about yourself and others can cause unhappiness. This week, explore how negative emotions and old memories—if not faced and seen for what they are in the moment—become fuel for the pain-body.

As you read this chapter, use the workbook questions below, as well as Your Flower and the Awakening Exercises, to help you make the book's message real in your every day life. After you watch the Chapter 5 webcast, you can change or add to your answers, or write down anything from class that confused, moved or surprised you.
