The
adventure in
dealing with
pain
Pain is a real mind trapping spirit, testing experience & adventure in a person’s life. It can be an emotionally stressful, fear ridden and draining experience. The adventure is that of dealing with its reality within our
lives. If one overcome is the winner and if one lives with it is a loser.
Sometime pain indirectly teaches us important path in one’s life. The adventure in dealing with pain is just that an adventure in learning about ourselves and the universe around us which is the true
personal adventure.
There are many types of pain. As a matter of fact the innumerable ways pain can ensure on trap us uncountable. There is the momentary pain, the mildly uncomfortable long term pain, the light pain, the
Life is an adventure in living physical actions, reactions and decisions from birth to death. In the life adventure many things will affect us. Pain is one of those adventures that all of us will encounter in at least some small way. Most of us will have to deal with all of the four possible types of pain in our lives. Even a small cut on the tip of our finger will trigger physical pain, mental pain in the form of fearful imagination, and emotional pain in the form of stress to some degree.
Let see how we deal with pain throughout life shows us to what depth our experiential character and self discipline has developed, and to what degree we have put our Spiritual center, our core of beliefs and values, to the test.
As we reap the rewards of self-discipline in meditation, whether it is from the mental vacation, or the real life action of social interactions, work or play, we find that we have in some way lessoned the impact and vice grip that the chronic pain has had on our lives. We also find that it is possible to change ourselves in the form of some type of
healing that occurs with this escaping from pain new reality. We find ourselves growing a new attitude towards life in general. A more positive and healthy attitude is healing and allows more strength and self-confidence to come into our lives. All of this is healing on all levels of our lives.
As time goes on, with our new more positive attitudes, we find our lives changing in that we had never imagined. We realize how very much time the chronic pain that is still with and affects us, has robbed from the quality of our lives. But at the same time we see how taking personal responsibility for the adventure of our pain has freed us from some of the more negative and disabling aspects of its affects. This is healing at its very best.
Taking personal responsibility for our pain in life does not necessarily free us from the pain itself, but it does free us from the chains that the pain has wrapped us up in. It also gives us a different more clearly defined view of pain in general. Pain does not totally enslave us; we partially enslave ourselves with our attitudes and views of pain. The adventure of dealing with pain is a quest into our own lives and beliefs. It takes us from the pain of blind enslavement, to the enlightened understanding of our own ability and responsibility of taking control of our lives. The adventure is one of self-discovery, and self-liberation, to whatever degree we find it, through our own personal efforts in the art of healing ones self.
