Let the pain we feel sit as it is. Let it fill our body and allow it to open our heart. We have to accept there is no avoiding pain, it is how we deal with it that is important. Perception does play a role in how we may create pain for ourselves but nevertheless pain is part of living. We have to remember the part of ourselves (the observer) that sits quietly in the background, watching, non-judging with great strength, compassion and unconditional love. Being in touch with that part of ourselves allows us to hold the pain, not let it take over and control our mind and body. It is so easy to let the mind wander in to a spiral of negative thoughts and fears. This creates even more insecurity, a feeling of losing the plot. We are all held with love, just that at times of fear and disillusion we tend to not feel this love because we shut the heart down. We need to learn to love ourselves unconditionally, we are amazing creatures ! Whatever has happened in our lives that has created pain can be used to open us up in to a realisation of how wonderful we truely are !

Jonathan,
How true. Even those who are adrenaline junkies, cutters, or thinking about suicide want to fill a hole in themselves or to stop the pain in their lives. What amazes me about humans is our ability to overcome much adversity and insecurity. Hope is still one of the most powerful things in the world.

Every person on the planet has an inherent and insatiable desire to feel safe and secure. And efforts to fill this desire shape the actions of individuals and the course of world events.
