Dear joanna:

The emotional pain that you feel and have felt for so long, year after year, all that pain… it is amazing how much of it a person can and does experience and survives. This pain, you need to feel it more. I will explain. Of course you feel it but you need to relax into it. When you hurt your face and feel that pain, see the injury, you relax a bit into that pain. It is a temporary relaxing.

Will you try this: in your next post, describe your pain, how it feels and as you do, relax into it. Rest in it and describe it. Describe it more than you did before. Instead of feeling it and pushing it away, again and again, feel it and relax into it. As you relax into it, type the words that describe it as it is.

* I will be re-reading later some of your posts to get a better understanding and will be writing you again today. Of course I will reply to you if and following you doing the exercise I suggested.
