So many of us silently struggle with pain in different ways. We live in a society that normalizes being in pain. Because of this, for those of us living with chronic illness and pain, it can be easy to disregard our experience or actually make the space to care for and heal our bodies. In this episode of Multidimensional Transmissions, I explore the dimensions of navigating pain and share my experience with a recent flare-up.
As someone who has lived with various layers of chronic pain and illness on and off for my whole life, I am great at being “fine”. I have a high tolerance for pain and I learned at a really young age how to ignore it and override my body’s cues, sucking it up and presenting like I was okay, so I could keep up living my life.
Talking about the dysfunction in my body or the pain I experienced was not something I would do often. If I didn’t acknowledge it or talk about it then it was easy to pretend it was not happening. This ignoring often caused an increase in my symptoms and led to even more collapse, shut down and pain in my body.
Over the years I've learned the importance of meeting my body where she is at, recognizing and accepting my body when there is an expression of pain (physical or emotional) and vocalizing when I'm struggling so I can receive help and support.
Join me in this episode as I share my recent journey through the last 8 weeks of intense back and leg pain and how I worked to activate my body's healing potentials by shifting my attention to small moments of relief and working with gentle intuitive movement, the MELT Method, strength exercises, and the support of practitioners, guides, and ancestors.
I also discuss the theme of surrender and the power of taking space to tend to our body in order to facilitate and activate healing within our own systems. There are mindset shifts and intentional somatic practices we can do that can lead to profound healing, even in the face of excruciating pain.
Make sure to tune in!
