Living in presence with the emotional pain body

The following quote comes from a talk by Eckhart Tolle titled "Living in presence with the emotional pain body" (www.huffingtonpost.com/eckhart-tolle/living-in-presence-with-y_b_753114.html)

"There is such a thing as old emotional pain living inside you. It is an accumulation of painful life experience that was not fully faced and accepted in the moment it arose. It leaves behind an energy form of emotional pain. It comes together with other energy forms from other instances, and so after some years you have a "painbody," an energy entity consisting of old emotion.

It lives in human beings, and it is the emotional aspect of egoic consciousness. When the ego is amplified by the emotion of the painbody, the ego has enormous strength still -- particularly at those times. It requires very great presence so that you can be there as the space also for your painbody, when it arises." 

I practice surrendering pain by being witness to the painbody when it arises. My consciousness is the space in which the painbody arises.  I am not my pain.  I am the presence.
