"While fear of pain is a natural human reaction,
it is particularly dominant in our culture, where
we consider pain as bad or wrong."
Tara Brach
Rather than trying to control our bodies, we can take pause and listen to them. Our bodies speak to us, alerting us of an unbalance needing correction. As we reach for the pain killer, question what is prompting the symptom we are experiencing.
If we take to our bed with a pounding migraine, what does this allow us to do? Does it provide a valid excuse to skip and avoid an event? Our stomach revolts with flu like symptoms prior to facing a life change. Can this heighten our awareness of just how deeply our fear resides?
Our body is an instrument that can lead us to discovery of peace and calm. If we follow the pain, uncover the origin and connection with emotions, we can restore balance and accurate choices to enhance living.
