Pain : Sometimes it f*cking hurts

P A I N :::

Sometimes it f*cking hurts.

IT’S SUPPOSED TO.

Pain is MEANT to interrupt your pattern of being + life to deliver sacred messages guiding you into something new, something higher, IF YOU LET IT.

The more we resist it, the more it HURTS.

If it’s going to hurt anyway, as you’re stretched or squeezed through a transformation opportunity, what if you LET IT??

Pain-avoidance keeps you numb, stuck, and stunted.

WHAT IF YOU LET YOURSELF FEEL IT INSTEAD?

Breathe INTO the pain.

Sit with yourself in it.

Let it SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

I was 41+ weeks with my first birth. With every contraction my mind said, BRING IT.

B R I N G I T.

I’m ready. I’m ready to meet this baby. And my relationship with pain changed. There was no escaping it, only riding the waves of it… and realizing it was S E R V I N G me. It was bringing new life. Pain with a sacred purpose… more Life.

Right before the baby’s born, as the head descends through the pelvis and your body has to literally open up, women classically (me included) freak the f*ck out. “Bring it!” turns into a primal howl: “I CAN’T!!” And *that’s* how you know you already ARE,” the work is nearly complete, and the deepest parts of you are getting called on board. A miracle is on the way. And it’s not just the baby, it’s YOU.

The last few years was a new kind of pain for me, even harder than childbirth in many ways. This time training myself to keep my heart open, letting it break <open> over and over again. And THANK GOD, because its purpose was opening me to MY greater purpose… and… more Life.

If you’re in pain right now,

I honor you.

And I invite you to trust yourself, to breathe, to sit with it and see what it has to teach you.

You are worthy of the freedom and Life on the other side.

And if you’re in your “primal howl,” keep going 🙏 *You’re doing it.* and you’re closer than you know.

Don’t give up now. <<<you are not alone!>>>
