When we are carrying the burden of our unprocessed pain, sooner or later it will inconvenience us.
So many of us are going through our lives aware of a deep well of pain underlying our daily awareness. It might be something we’ve felt for so long that we aren’t even sure from where it originates. It almost seems as if it’s part of who we are, or the way we see the world. It’s important to realize that only when we choose to acknowledge this pain that we can begin to resolve its influence in our life. The longer we sit on it, the harder it is to work through, and the more likely it is that we will be forced to acknowledge it as it makes itself known to us in ways we can’t predict. Rather than waiting for this to happen, we can empower ourselves by identifying the pain and resolving to take action towards healing it.
The very thought of this might bring up feelings of resistance, especially if, on the surface, our lives seem to be in order. It’s difficult to dig up the past and go into it unless we are being seriously inconvenienced by the hurt. The thing is, when we are carrying the burden of our unprocessed pain, sooner or later, it will inconvenience us. If we can be brave and proactive, we can save ourselves a lot of future suffering and free up the energy that is tied up in keeping the pain down.
There are many ways to do this, but the first step is to recognize the pain and honor it by moving our awareness into it. In this process, even if it’s just five minutes during meditation, we will begin to have a sense of what the pain is made of. It might be fear of abandonment, childhood abuse, anger at being mistreated, or some other long held wound. As we sit with the pain, we will also have a sense of whether we can deal with it by ourselves, or not.
