Sooner or later everyone faces the pain of loss, loneliness, humiliation, etc. At such times, we think our pain is nothing compared to the suffering of others. But this feeling is individual and cannot be measured. Suffering is simply there and we experience it.
Methods of working with pain
In my programs, I help people to let go of pain. But the method of letting go does not help everyone. There are three common reactions to help you understand why this release option doesn’t work for everyone.
In the first case, the person suffers a lot of pain and tries to let it go. He says to himself: “Letting go.” Then he repeats it again. But nothing changes. He begins to hurry her along, waiting waiting that the pain is about to go away. But it only gets worse.
It may seem funny, but that’s what we do most of the time. We let go of what’s wrong and what shouldn’t be.. However, we should, first of all, let go of the one who says, “I let go. We should let go of the controller that sits within us. We all know him very well. Letting go – means to let that controller go in peace. Read more about nonattachment.
In the second case, when we feel pain, we let the controller go. We sit and pretend to let go. Ten minutes go by and the pain remains the same. In this case, I often get a complaint that the letting go method doesn’t work.
But it’s important to understand that the method of letting go is not a way of getting rid of pain, it is a way of being free of suffering. If we try to make a deal with the pain: “For ten minutes I will let go of my pain, and it will disappear. Such a process of letting go also becomes a process of getting rid of suffering.
There is a third case in which we can say hello to our pain, open our heart to it, and let it simply be in the depths of our existence.
Wholly allowing the pain to last as long as it wants. In this way, we give the feeling freedom. Whether the pain stays or goes is now irrelevant. Only then does the pain really disappear.
