Giving Pain the Space it Needs to Heal

12/15/2021

What's our first response to pain? To pull away, to avoid it. What happens when pain is in our bodies and we don't want to feel it any more? We contract and tighten around the pain in an effort to pull away from it.

This is a natural response, but counter productive.

When we tighten our bodies and contract around the pain we are unwittingly inhibiting the flow of healing to the places that need it most.

In my latest video, I describe a meditative exercise to release contraction in the body and allow the pain the space that it needs to heal.
