🔹Experiencing freedom from our pain and suffering involves feeling the things we are unwilling to feel.
👉 For example, I had to allow myself to feel the shame, guilt, sadness, and loss of losing the function of my arm. The more I pushed those feelings away, the more I suffered in pain.
🔹Our emotions around the pain cause us great distress because we fear the process of feeling them. We don't want to feel bad for ourselves, and we don't want to feel like a burden.
🔹But not feeling these emotions mean they remain stuck in our body and can become the drivers of our pain.
⚡ Acknowledge your fears, your loss, your shame, your suffering. Allow yourself to feel it cause you are stronger than you know. Realise that emotions are there to be felt. Pain recovery is about feeling your pain and moving forward.
