Crushed, overwhelmed…. or held and uplifted by pain?
When I really breathe in my own pain, and when I connect intimately with every other person in this very moment who is in this very same pain as I am, what happens?
When I really do this sincerely, the opposite can happen to what my mind fears….mind says how can I bear that much pain! I’ll be crushed, overwhelmed.
Yet what actually happens is different.
My personal pain is shared, NOT magnified. It can be sudden and miraculous how inner support arises from connecting with others in the same pain as I am. Right here. Right now.
It takes the focus off little ol me, and places it on the great, potent, powerful life that I am intimately made up of. Call that what you like.
Try these 4 steps.
1. For a moment, Imagine a scene that brings you into contact with deep peace, stillness and presence.
2. Breath in t every pore in your body hot black, burning smoky soot, breathe out of every pore of your body, light, cooling, soothing calmness.
3. Breath in your own physical, emotional, pain….. breath out, send out, relaxed open, peace and calmness.
4. Connect sincerely and intimately with every other person in the world in this very same moment, right NOW, who is also experiencing the same pain as you are….breathe in their pain, breath out/ send out to them all, pain free relaxed open-ness.
Do this whenever you can for a few minutes, finding your own natural breathing rhythm…….then see what happens next.
