"Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding"
- Kahlil Gibran



Our Deepest Pain Reveals Our Deepest Gifts


As we take a moment and review today's quote by Kahlil Gibran,
we have a chance to stop and take notice that whatever challenges
or problems we may be experiencing may actually be a higher
message for us to become aware of.

When we struggle with something in our lives, we experience
resistance - a sort of "inner pain". But many of us weren't taught
that pain of any kind is a signal from non-conscious parts of
ourselves to awaken.

Awaken? Awaken what?

In many cases, we may not even be conscious of what we're feeling
pain or resistance about. But if we take the time and really tune into
how we're really feeling - in the moment - without judgment, we begin
to unravel the mystery of our suffering.

Let's take another look at today's quote - by Kahlil Gibran:

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell
that encloses your understanding"

Let's take a deep breath together - as we ponder this quote...

And take one more - but this time - close your eyes, and really
allow yourself to connect with the deeper parts of you.

Your breath is the path of your Spirit - and is the lifeline to
your Soul - the REAL you.

Notice how you feel after you've taken a few deep breaths?
If you still feel tense, you can review a wonderful breathing
exercise at: http://www.dreamsalive.com/wisdom1.htm

In this moment -ask yourself "How do I feel"?

And take some time to write down your feelings:

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________


As you're getting in touch with the deeper parts of you (beyond
the mind) - allow this feeling to speak to you - ask it:

"What are you trying to teach me?"

and just take a deep breath and listen...
(write down whatever comes to you)

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________

_______________________________________________


You may not get an answer right away, but in time, with a
little practice, you will start to notice that your subconscious
will begin to work with you (not against you).



Ask yourself:

In what way can I allow my understanding that Gibran talks about
to become conscious? (known).

As the shell of our egos break (let go), we begin to notice that
even our deepest pain begins to reveal a profound sense of
wisdom - a wisdom that transcends stress, struggle and
resistance.

Because it's a wake-up call from our Souls


So today my friend - allow yourself to become aware of whatever
pain or challenge you're experiencing. And let the "shell that covers
your understanding" crack as it may - knowing that a deeper gift
is on its way...

And So It Is...
