Pain dulls the senses.<\/p>\n
On overload, we shut down; Going into survival mode, allowing only the most basic needs to have voice.<\/p>\n
When this happens in succession\u2026when there is rapidfire negative stimuli, this state becomes the new norm – \u00a0\u201cthis too shall pass\u201d becomes the new mantra.<\/p>\n
Now our every day reality; our sense of joy and spontaneity \u00a0is on hold while we wait for \u201cthis\u201d to pass.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Wait!<\/p>\n
Join with the pain, allow it to emerge in tiny increments from the fugue our defense mechanisms have mistakenly relegated it to.<\/p>\n
This will, if done correctly, safely move us out of the waiting pattern back to the now which is actually the only place there is.<\/p>\n
