Thoughts on Pain

Confrontation, challenging all is good... just know that how I approach this is very different from you- and since I am working with the idea of "physician heal thyself", and I don't want to put someone's back up or make them feel defensive (which is how I feel right now btw... because now I feel like I have to apologize or explain something, instead of just telling you how I feel and am)

Emotional pain is as much an illness as any other- in some ways more difficult to treat because it is unseen. And like cancer, it is invasive... and intrudes upon all things if allowed to spread. When it's happiness and love, good... but when there is pain or anger or negativity... it becomes physical. I look at this time as my own choice to heal the body by healing the soul.

Certain things must be released and doing so my overwhelm/depress/cause great pain in the process of accepting and letting go. There is nothing wrong with pain. Pain is your system default when something is wrong with the self. Pain is a normal part of the learning experience, and will be until you choose it not to be- and it no longer has anything to teach you. Pain held in the self without expression leads to sickness. When you first release pain, it may seem to be too much to function, so sometimes it's better to release in small increments- when possible- so that you can still function.
