Yikes! Those two words pain and love should never live side-by-side, or… s h o u l d they?
Most people run from pain. They hide it (not particularly well) or push it down. Make no mistake, they’re hurting whether the pain is buried deep or not. I believe people who are hurting, in turn, hurt.
People who hurt, hurt.
When you stop running from pain, when you deal with it head on, separating it from all the story lines you’ve attached to it – the pain begins to fade. There’s more room to love and be loved.
This exercise is so powerful. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Thank you Pema Chodron.
It’s transformational. It’s alignment.
The stories you hold on to hurt far more than the pain itself. Strip away the story lines.
We can’t know love without pain. We need them both.
It just feels better to love.
More to come,
Tanya B.
