Attitude Towards Pain - (576)

Introduction

Changing our attitude towards pain won’t make pain go away, it certainly won’t affect the physical pain. A head ache or an aching leg will still be there, and even insult or offence will still be there. Though what will change is the way we deal with it and what we do with the pain and how we conduct ourselves with the pain when coming into contact with others.

What Changing our Attitude Does

What changing our attitude will do is make it easier for our consciousness to work on our behalf to accept the pain and to look behind it to discover what is wrong and then fix what is wrong. The right attitude, that is being open to the lesson and seeing pain as a teacher or prepares the ground for our consciousness to work when we next feel pain.

The right attitude allows us to deal with pain properly, it sets us up to be able to liberate it and to be able to not allow our consciousness get so bottled up or caught in it.

Conclusion

The right attitude towards pain is the first and necessary step to be able to liberate it! The more conscious our attitude the more conscious we set ourselves up to be.

The right attitude in life, in the work, in the path and in everything for that matter goes a very long way.

Remember when we next feel pain, ask we must ask ourselves “What is this pain trying to teach me?”, “What needs healing or fixing in me?” and we can then tell ourselves, “If I fix what is causing the pain, I can be free from it. To be free is better than to hold onto it and protect it, defend it and nurture it or even contemplate it!”.
