Pain is a great communicator.
You cannot ignore it, nor can you avoid it.
We spend a great deal of time attempting to make it go away instead of listening to it.
Pain always has a message to it. It is here to inform us that something needs to change.
It does not matter whether it is physical pain or emotional pain, the message is the same.
Something is not working properly and we need to look at it. Something is stuck and we need to release it, Something is not aligned and we need to balance it.
So often we judge pain as bad and that makes it all the more painful. When we can release our judgement over pain and pay attention to it, we have taken the first step to releasing it.
Listening to it, really delving into it and being open to it’s message, is the surest way to get past it.
As long as we stuff it down, ignore it, and avoid it at all costs, it will persist. It will continue and we’ll miss a great opportunity to learn.
Where is your pain? What is it telling you? How can you be more open to it?
