How to invite the pain

[AlignedWithTheHeart]

Sometimes I get a wave of emotional pain come on and I feel so bad that all I can do is surrender to it. I feel much better and more whole after. I want to open the door for a ñot more pain to surface, not an overwhelming amount thatll send me into complete existential despair, but enough to really hurt. I know pain with me. My mind works so hard to protect me from the pain even though its not as dangerous as it once was to feel it

I love hearing how you are with your emotional pain, Seeker, because avoiding uncomfortable emotions only buries them deeper.
Guaranteed, more pain from the past will naturally come up in order to be healed, so you don't need to go looking for it.

My way of meeting my emotions is with conscious breathing.
Touching the center of my chest... Heart Breathing.
Exhaling like a gentle sigh through my open lips...Releasing Breathing.

Affirm that you RELEASE IT NOW. Forgive it (and who or whatever has caused it) and then let it go. Give it to the Universe to heal. But here’s the caveat, IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE PAINFUL TO DO. Any pain and burden which you have been carrying around can be transmuted quite peacefully if you allow it. State to the Universe that it has your permission to enter your life and heal your pain, and it will start doing so.
