Throughout our lives we get banged, we get slapped, repeatedly. These areas which sustain the injuries, whether physical or mental, become numb, but the trauma is still there, and the pain that is within has to be expressed, so it wonders in our bodies and psyche, looking for ways to get out. It may try to leave us through our muscles, our joints, our bones or different organs, but the only true way for it to leave the body is by same way through which it came in. Pain is a signal that shows us where to look, and our quest should be that of observation. We should try and feel comfortable enough with pain, so that it may lead us to the point from which it came into our system. Through bringing comfort to the areas in which we feel the pain, we are signaling to our organism that we are ready to bring back the sensation to the area that has been numbed. And so, slowly we progress, awakening our organisms to the sensations of life, in this particular space and time which we chose to occupy. 

It is often the case that we expect to be shaken out of our discomfort and be thrust into a state of great health immediately. This expectation causes us to accept temporary relief as if it was cure, and then, when the pain appears somewhere else, we take it as a separate event. But just as our disease have progressed in a serpentine manner over time, healing from disease is a long and squiggly affair. Sometimes during energy sessions I might get a response from a client that they “don’t feel anything”, or that they “feel very little”, “only in some area”. I say that if you feel anything at all, pursue it with all your might, because there is a chance that one day you might get to the actual cause of what got you to seek help in the first place. To be awaken from the numbness requires us to show up, to be there for ourselves. To play the game, you don’t necessarily have to know the rules, but you definetely need to show up.
