Eckart Tolle once spoke of an emotional pain-body. Apprehension, self-hate, remorse, rage, envy, and other negative emotions are a representation of the pain-body. All emotional pains suffered during your life fall within the pain-body.

In many people, the pain-body is either dormant or active. Some events may trigger it to wake up or go back to sleep. A great way to measure the activity of your pain-body currently, take the following quiz:

Answers: 1 = virtually never, 2 =sometimes, 3 = frequently, 4 = almost always.

  6. I become depressed without any reason
  7. People make me anxious
  8. I am overcome by self-pity
