Reflection – Pain

When you feel pain, simply view it as energy. Just start seeing these inner expectations as energy passing through your heart and before the eye of you consciousness.

Then Relax. Do the opposite of contracting and closing. Relax and release. Relax your heart until you are actually face-to-face with the exact place where it hurts.

Stay open and receptive so you can be present right where the tension is. You must be willing to be present right at the place of tightness and pain, and then relax and go even deeper.

This is very deep growth and transformation. But you will not want to do this. You will feel tremendous resistance to doing this, and that’s what makes it so powerful.

As you relax and feel the resistance, the heart will want to pull away, to close, to protect, and to protect itself. Keep relaxing. Relax your shoulders and relax your heart. Let go and give room for the pain to pass through you. It’s just energy. Just see it as energy and let it go.
