小心身体，小心心
感觉一下你的身体，有没有什么地方觉得紧？
试着感受你的心是如何在身上制造这些紧的地方的。这就是禅修的启示：没有心，就没有活生生的身体，没有心，身体不会有紧张或舒服的感觉。
要是我们制造了现实世界，那么我们肯定也制造了我们的身体。如果我们不能了解心和身体是分不开的，那么我们如何去了解树、天空、空气、山、河流、朋友和敌人等都是我们制造的？我们如何得到解脱？
佛经常强调对身体正念的重要性（白话）
僧侣们，如果你们培养一件事情，然后抛弃无知，那么最高的智慧会升起，放弃对自己的迷惑，消除潜在的倾向，束缚便打开了。这件事情是指什么呢？就是对身体的正念。
～增壹阿含经）

I fought a battle with myself for years. Although it wasn’t a physical condition, it took a lot of time and hard work to overcome it. I recognized that only I can change my thinking and my mind. By changing my state of mind, I was able to overcome my challenging obstacle.
I would love to hear others stories!
Thank you for sharing! It sure can take a long time. It is not easy to make that connection between the body and the mind especially when we are taught to understand the body purely as a physical reality. Of course, it is still very important to see his or her doctor first whenever there is concern of one’s physical health.
I had also been working with a physical discomfort for several years – until I finally see what kind of shift in my thinking and emotion come with the physical symptom and that helped me connect the dots. Even though I am now better at managing the symptom by changing my state of mind – by paying attention to my own thoughts and physical being – it seems that a deeper layer is emerging as well. It is an on-going work but I think self-healing starts with self-awareness, and one path to self-awareness is mindfulness toward the body.
