Healing Pain
Description:
The first step in healing pain is to not avoid it. Accept it! Don’t fight it and don’t cling to it either because fighting and clinging make the pain worse. Allow it to be there, without rationalizing or judging….simply let it be so with tremendous compassion for yourself.
Become aware of the pain, say to yourself “I am aware of the pain” and slowly you start to disidentify from it. You create a distance, a separation and your awareness helps you transcend it. You reach a place in your self-awareness where you understand you are the host of pain, of happiness, of joy, of disappointment and so on. These are your internal weathers, they come and go.
When and Where:
Practice this anytime, anywhere, whenever you feel pain.
Benefits:
There are reasons for pain and ways to use it for our benefit. This technique will help you with your healing, and will take you deeper into self- awareness, self-love and self-acceptance.
