There is pain in all of us, its a given of being a human. Our duty on this Earth is to understand this unique pain we hold within us, and allow it to integrate into our being. This integration of pain, does not simply bring us to the level of the pain, but elevates us higher into our true Being. For some, the pain is our heart, maybe all we wanted was to love everyone, though along the way, we were hurt. This hurt caused our being to recoil and hide this soft and beautiful part of our divine self. We lose the trust we had in love when we were young; that all it will do is hurt, be a painful experience with each person we get close to. Maybe it’s a personal challenge to our being, to invoke the courage deep within us, to first accept who we are, then accept others as they are, then to hold the pain, and let it be what it is, a part of who we are. Rumi said, Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. The Pain is the castle wall, hidden behind other barriers like, fear, the hurt, the rejection, many walls have been built your source of pain as a protection to your being. Where is the growth if you are protected all the time, thats where accessing the internal courage and wall after wall comes crashing down until we have the courage to open our heart, stand tall, proud, and allow the love we always wanted to give others to flow out of our being. To love is to open yourself authentically, no masks no hidden agendas, just who you have always been. It is at that moment in time where we become vulnerable and accept that pain is part of this human life, you simply can’t avoid it, now embrace it and let it teach you about where you can plant your roots more firmly. Start with yourself, love the hell out of your being, all the parts, and when you feel your cup over-flowing start giving love to those who will cherish it. Love is a source of energy, and love will awaken you, open you up to an abundance of opportunities in this Journey of yours. Remember- ‘If you can’t feel it you can’t heal it’ Just trust you Self, and Love your Self.

I’ll see you next time <3
