That niggling PAIN
The kind that just will not let up
The kind you want to suppress and push down…
But it just keeps cropping up.
What IS that pain?
Beauties, it is the greatest gift
I have come to know and love the niggles
Because they serve us in ways we might never imagine
They are an opportunity for growth
Please don’t suppress them
They will only talk to you louder, I promise
I had a profound experience recently
You know how we always have that place in our bodies, where our pain shows up
The favourite space for it to sit
It’s always been my right shoulder and neck
Because in the past I’ve always been so BUSY
Stopping for a moment to truly BE with that pain hasn’t been an option
I would always get a massage, rub on oils, go to sleep… make it go away
For many of you, it may be another type of suppression. Maybe a pill to suppress it some more
Whatever it is, I get it
I’ve always known this pain in the shoulder to be:
Burdens
Carrying a load
I basically put it down to doing too much
So I’d just slow down when that happened
BUT what I didn’t do was look deeper
Recently I had an experience with a loved one
Where a comment I made got lost in translation
My old wiring would have seen me react to what they said
Instead, I responded
I felt my emotions
Rather than feeling angry, I actually felt sad
I realised that responding in anger, in the past – was the surface emotion
Sad was beneath this
So I sat with that
Guess what happened shortly after?
That pain in my shoulder appeared
This was my “A HA” moment
I thought, “Sit with the pain”
I wonder what this is trying to teach me
As I sat with SAD for a while
I realized I felt other emotions BENEATH sad
I could have said I felt misunderstood, however that is more directed at judgement to the other person
What was really happening was that I FELT LONELY
And when I observed this emotion
It had been sitting beneath many of my emotions
LONELY was the foundation of the dark night of the soul time in my life
and many other times of struggle
Do you know what happened once I acknowledged that?
My pain left me… nothing else was needed but self-understanding
It’s a breakthrough
I wanted to share this
