I've experienced um debilitating severe pain in my body for the last 16 years, which is getting worse, right? And I'm done with it. I want it to be healed, and I'd like your help in helping me figure out.
All right, well, again, the first question, usually energetically speaking, is what have you learned from having that experience that you might otherwise not have learned? Start acknowledging what you've learned in a positive context.
Um, I've learned to appreciate ability in the body and, and um, since I've had it taken away from me, um, yeah, I've learned to appreciate putting healthy things in my body through diet and lifestyle and to try to maintain that optimum wellness. All right, um, stuff like that. Anything else?
Um, I've learned that it's awful having it. Um, it's difficult. Um, I prefer not to have it.
Is that what you've learned? I guess I have to dig deeper to really feel in into the deeper lessons that I've learned by having it.
Then that might be a good thing for you to start with, because when you start acknowledging how creating this for yourself has served you in a positive way, then you will be acknowledging that you've learned the lesson, and then the message doesn't have to be delivered in the same way. You understand? Yes, because you're saying, "I'm willing to get this. I'm willing to learn without necessarily forcing myself into a situation where I have no other choice," because I've arrived at a place where I am not giving myself any other choice but to know these truths for myself as true. You follow? Yes.
Now, I do have one other suggestion for you. MH. Anything that you have learned from having this experience, have you in any way, shape, or form been teaching others who have similar experiences how to gain positive lessons from having it?
No, not exactly. What do you mean, "not exactly"?
Um, well, I, I'm in the helping profession, but I don't think I've directly tried to help other people who have chronic pain.
Why not? Since you are an expert at it?
Well, I haven't mastered it and I haven't overcome it, so I...
Why do you think you need to overcome it in order to teach how to deal with it? In fact, what makes you think you won't be a better teacher by still having it while you are also sharing what you've learned from it that might help someone else?
Well, I just don't feel that I do deal with it very well. I feel like I suffer from it. There's suffering that comes from it.
Stop. I'm not talking about the physical experience. We've just had a conversation where you've admitted that you have learned some positive things that you otherwise might not have learned by having this experience. Yes. Yes, that's the conversation. I see. And while you're having that conversation, not that anyone else has to do it that way, but while you're sharing the possibility, the option that they might be able to turn it around and ask themselves that very interesting introspective question of, "Well, if I had this experience, would I have learned what I have learned? Would I know what I know? Would I be the person that I've become?" Maybe, maybe not. Maybe that's something I really need to look at.
By opening up those questions in their mind, by sharing this idea of what you've learned with them, you may find that you will no longer need to experience it that way, and you will overcome it as a process when you are sharing what you have learned from it, not before you start sharing it, but as part of the process of sharing it. So, yes, I think I do.
So, so being of service through my experience would be very important for me.
Being of service to others is the best way to be of service to yourself because you are contained within the collective. So when you're willing to support the collective by being your true self as best as you can, you can't be left out. You understand?
I see. You're including yourself in that paradoxically by not focusing on yourself. I see that's how it works because then you're out of your way. You've gotten out of your way, and you can let the reflection of what service and help you're giving come back to you. That's the origin of the old phrase, "To help someone, you'll get it back tenfold," because you're multiplying the opportunities and options for them. Therefore, you also get the multiplication of the opportunity for yourself, and it transforms things for them and you. Yes. Yes, I see.
Giving, giving of yourself and allowing others to receive what you have is the best, best way to heal yourself as well as give them the option to heal themselves. Never hold back your gift. Never hold back your knowledge and learning. Those are the things people are waiting for. And when you hold them back because you think that what you have to share isn't worthwhile, you are compounding dis-ease in the world. See where we're going? Yes.
So, lighten your world up. Give them a better opportunity to change the experience for themselves by changing the experience for yourself, by using it in the best possible positive way that you can, so that you are no longer ill at ease with yourself. Does that help you?
Yes, it does. Thank you.
