True healing most often requires fortitude ๐
I was grateful to recieve a message today from a valued client. In it they shared their thoughts about their journey of healing and recovery from a long standing persisting experience of pain. ๐
They shared a most appropriate Latin phrase which I love ~ Per aspera ad astra ~ meaning 'through suffering to the stars'. โจโจ
It's understandable we want the pain to go but it's the presence of pain, patience amd learning to hold space for pain that can guide true healing.
Not the superficial cut, bruise or even sprain, strain or break.
But the deeper more pertinent healing that pertains to the whole person or the whole soul.
Pain is often a gifted pathway to a more greater connection and understanding between the body, mind, thoughts, emotions, beliefs, blocks, patterns of behaviour or movement.
This can be transformative or even revolutionary in our lives.
A scant or standard and relatively superficial focus on pain and it's elimination only, misses the opportunity for personal growth and powerful results far beyond the treatment table or clinic room.
To the stars โจ
