Letting go of Pain

Reflections from David G. http://www.chopra.com/library/med7 The body is our subconscious mind containing all our memories in a code that transcends language, Martha Graham the body never lies it says what words cant and by listening to its wisdom we can gather valuable clues that will issue us into emotional freedom. Pain and discomfort are a sign that am holding onto something that no longer serves me. Have I been holding onto a relationship that I should have let go a while ago, am I holding onto something that holds me down, and represses me. What am I carrying around with me that I should have let go… my body shows this in my upper shoulders, every time I have been there I get out looking older sadder, and uglier. It is the hurting that hurt others, those who hate themselves that want those around them to hate themselves. Each of us have at last one area where we need to find forgiveness in someone else; we need to cut the code that so unnecessarily connects us to the creator of the pain. When we forgive we move from victim to transcender, from blamer to acceptor, from weakened state to empowered state. What I need to do is not run from this dark hour, embrace it, accept the greatest thing I have feared- pain, accept that I have failed, feel the ache and the weakness, looking into the eyes of the person I associate this pain with. When we forgive us free ourselves from the tie that binds us to those who have hurt us, we have the key to open the door. When I choose not to forgive someone I choose to drink poison so that they will die, when I choose not to forgive only I know, forgiveness of others is pure bliss, because there is nothing connecting us to those that hurt us. The essence of responsibility is recognizing that regardless of what has happened in our lives up until now, we are capable of making new choices that can improve our situation, and we have the ability to respond in creative ways that allow for something new to emerge, for healing to unfold.
