If your main focus on your healing journey is to get rid of discomfort, aka suffering, this attitude will signal more distress to your mind-body system…
Everything your system is experiencing now it’s important. It points to something deeper.
The chronic pain, The undesirable behaviours, the physical symptoms, the disconnection, the strong emotions….
The purpose of the work is to create space in your system and to be curious with what is showing up.
If you push to get rid of all the discomfort you will only perpetuate and strengthen the discomfort.
The physical and emotional aches simply need some space and compassionate attention, with good coregulation and deeper guidance.
And then, only then, your system will reorganise to a healthier set point.
That’s why when I work with clients one of the natural results is less attachment to the suffering, less attachment to the “me, myself and I” .
Contrary to the popular belief in the social media healing frenzy, this detached attitude helps your whole system relax.
It allows healing to take place.
Your body was created to heal. Your body has its own organic healthy pattern. Given the right space and guidance, the body will naturally go back to health.
Do you often find yourself pushing against your emotions and discomfort? What do you normally do when it happens?
