My body is always trying to teach me lessons, that honestly sometimes I just don’t want to hear.  It seems that I am constantly hearing from my body. “I have an ache here, my allergies are up, I have an ache there”.

I am usually trying to escape the feeling of pain or discomfort. The key word in that sentence is escape. I was taught a while back that escaping the pain  was not the answer, that going into the pain was. WOW! Who wants to move into something that feels so bad?

Well, I have done it in my past and what I have found out about myself is that I will do almost anything to avoid the pain.  So, when I feel the pain instead of trying to get away from it, like taking an aspirin, it’s best for me to close my eyes, feel the pain and ask myself what is my body trying to tell me.

With this last episode in the hospital, what was my Colon trying to tell me? I get it, to slow down, relax, stop worrying, and that everything is going to be alright. That Colon of mine is one smart cookie.

So, instead of running from our pain, try moving into it and asking it “what is it you are trying to tell me”?  The lessons are big and pretty loud for us to hear.

If we choose to listen!
