Pain is not a subject that most of you want to study in depth. Most of you want to find ways out of the pain, rather than how it works, what triggers it and how it changes you. Pain, especially the kind that chafes, like you find with affairs actually re-wires us. In going through the pain, you will emerge on the other side a completely different person. Pain not only rewires portions of our nervous system, it rewires portions of your brain. Pain also reminds you that you are alive. It rudely wakes you out of a numbed out existence.
Pain wakes you up. It also lets you know what you need to do, when you know how to understand its message. For example, nausea has one message, diarrhea has its own message, heartache also tells you its message. Rather than numbing the pain as a way to deal with it, you may need to find out what it is telling you so that you know what action to take.
Pain is a call to action. Ignoring it often brings even more intense pains.
