You can channel your pain into helping
others and spread a tide of curative energy throughout the world. Pain is a fact of being and one that
permeates all of our lives to some degree. Since the hurt we feel may be a
part of the experiences that have touched us most deeply, we often don’t want
to let it go. It is easier to keep our pain, where it acts as a shield that
shelters us from others and gives us an identity from which we can draw
bitter strength. However, pain’s universality also can empower us to help
others heal. You can channel your pain into transformative and healing love
to help individuals on a one-to-one basis and spread a tide of curative
energy throughout the world. The capacity to heal others evolves
naturally within those who are ready to disassociate themselves from their
pain identity. In fact, the simple decision to put aside the pain you have
carried is what grants you the strength to redeem that pain through service.
There are many ways to use the hurt you feel to help others. Your pain gives
you a unique insight into the minds of people who have experienced trauma and
heartache. You can draw from the wellspring of strength that allowed you to
emerge on the other side of a painful experience and pass that strength to
individuals still suffering from their wounds. You may be able to counsel
individuals in need by showing them the coping methods that helped you
survive. A kinship can develop with those you are trying to aid and comfort. Helping others can be a restorative
experience that makes your own heart grow stronger. In channeling your pain
into compassionate service and watching others recover, you may feel a sense
of euphoria that leads to increased feelings of self-worth and optimism. Your
courageous decision to reach out to others can be the best way to declare to
yourself and the world that your pain didn’t defeat you. In fact, it helped
you heal. |
