What is the pain teacher?
The pain teacher is your bodies way of showing you that you are living out of alignment. This can show up as any form of physical, mental or emotional pain.
The pain teacher will show up for a variety of reasons. It can show up as a way of telling you that you have some unprocessed trauma in your life, or that your lifestyle is not serving you.
If you experience any pain in your mind and/or body, try to give yourself time to sit with it, what is this pain trying to reveal to you about yourself? Rather than turning straight to the painkillers or other medication that numb the pain, really try to tune into your inner wisdom to discover the source of the pain.
Through living with Crohns disease most of my life, I have become very familiar with the pain teacher, particularly recently. I have discovered that when I experience discomfort in my body, it is because there is trapped emotion that is cyring out to be felt.
There have been a few times over the last week where I have been in severe pain. However by consciously tuning in to the pain teacher, I have managed to tap into some very painful emotions associated with the cause of the illness.
When doing this, I allowed myself to drop down into my heart space and feel these emotions deeply. On both occasions I cried for quite some time, releasing the emotion that had been trapped within.
After these periods or emotional release, I found the pain I was experiencing had almost completely gone. My body had returned to a state of ease.
With that in mind, next time you experience pain or discomfort, try your best to tune in to the pain teacher!
Much love and blessings!🙏
