Daily I hear my clients/friends say:-
– I am feeling low
– I am directionless/confused/lost
– I feel miserable
As humans we are conditioned to believe that FEELINGS are GOOD and BAD.
So all the happy feelings are GOOD & times we feel hopeless are BAD.
We give STEP MOTHERLY TREATMENT TO OUR PAIN!
We are in such a RUSH to ABANDON & GET RID of our pain.
What if your PAIN contains:-
– a hidden GIFT
– a valuable lesson
– a deeper purpose
– a new PATH
Your PAIN needs just one thing from you & that’s your LOVING PRESENCE!
WOUNDS NEEDS AIR TO HEAL!
YOUR PRESENCE TO IT IS YOUR MEDICINE!
I was over the moon on 1st May at Mt. Shasta & I am down in the dumps on 31st May. A sharp contrast to what I felt on both the dates in a same month, yet I am extending the same energy to myself when I was jubliant – MY PRESENCE
BRACE YOURSELF & give your pain
– Acknowledgment
– Attention
– Allow it to surface fully
For any wound to heal
For any pain to get transmuted
It has to be fully ALLOWED TO RISE until it reaches its Tipping point!
Dont be in a rush to feel better instantly
Patiently be fully AVAILABLE to your pain as much as you are to your JOYS!
Presence to Pain:-
– Avoid distractions that divert your attention off
– Dont judge yourself or your pain or any other person to cause it. Thats being a victim & it doesnt get us anywhere in life!
– Witness your pain in a DETTACHED way & simply allow YOUR PAIN TO NARRATE ITS STORY & pay ATTENTION to it!
There are times I switch off my phones & just be with myself to extend PRESENCE to my own Pain, for its communicating through it & is wanting a RESOLUTION!
Talk to your friend/therapist who is compassionate enough to hold space for you in a non judgemental way & witness your pain reveal its HIDDEN GIFT!!
PRESENCE TO PAIN = RESOLUTION
Peace begins with Me!
Satnam!
