taming our own pain

The secret of internal peace and harmony is to tame our over active nervous systems. How do we do that? It begins with questioning our limited sense of identity as one who is constricted by the challenges of life. Next we begin to recognize pain and suffering are red flags that point the way back Home to our True Identity by showing us where conditioning and suffering have taught us to believe in viewing ourselves as weak and fallible. The suffering shows us where the kinks in our energy system are. By courageously facing and FEELING the pain, be it physical or emotional, in a deeply embodied way, we tap into the wisdom of the Universe that knows exactly how to losses those bonds that constrict us. As we dive over and over into the physical expression of the now moment, a spaciousness begins to arise. Reactivity slowly drops by the wayside. We are able to recognize and reverse limiting beliefs that kept us locked in a small world. We begin to taste our own glory. Our self hatred slowly mutates into self adoration. We grow in our ability to be aware of our own internal reality. Our focus shifts from outer circumstances to our inner reality and we being to witness that it truly is our inner world that is reflected in outer circumstances. The journey Home to our own belonging has begun in ernest. We our now on the Hero's journey where we face many monsters and dragons to win the hand of the Beloved, our own precious herart. Once the commitment is made, the end is sure. While it seems to be our own efforts that carry us home, once we arrive we recognize we were carried all along by a wisdom that transcends all knowing yet knows exactly what it is we need to bring us back to the place we never left yet lost contact with in the amnesia of being born human. We restore ourselves to our clouds of glory and offer our gifts to the world, answering the unceasing call of an overflowing heart.
