 Hello, this is Ilchibukko. You're watching Pal Thursday with Ilchibukko on Brain Education TV. Today I will be talking about accepting pain. If you're born on this planet Earth and if you have a body, naturally you are dealing with pain somewhat. So that's why this topic of accepting pain is important for you. When you hear about the sound, pain, do you like it or you don't like it? Usually we dislike it or we want to push it away or another one is numbing ourselves. First, disliking it, we may be familiar with it, isn't it? So you may judge about yourself, you may dislike a certain part of your body, you may have some idea about your body, what it should be like or how you should be feeling, so you want to think about something else rather than feeling your pain. For example, you may focus on work a lot, you may focus on social media a lot, you may focus on drinking a lot or partying a lot, or when you are so much attached to or focused on something, that means there are something related to pain that you may want to avoid. We may be all guilty of that. So the things that you may say when you are avoiding, can be, oh, I don't want to dig the pain again or I don't want to think about the past that hurt me ever again. That means you may not have been completely dealt with it and that it's important to look at it and heal from that pain. Another one that's a little bit worse is numbing yourself. So you buried it so long and you don't want to look at it so long that you may not feel that pain anymore. You may be convinced that you have no problem. I'm just fine. I'm okay. I don't have any problems. It's important for us to be able to look at the pain without judging it, without avoiding it, without numbing it. And the best thing that you can do for the pain is begin to activate the sense to feel your body. Pain is all connected to your information that you carry inside and with that there is the emotion that you hold inside with that information. That emotion that you carry becomes the energy existing inside of you and that energy depending on those type of energy you may have the blockage that you create and that will therefore turn into body condition and pain. Today I want to focus on approaching the pain through physical body being able to sense the feeling through the physical body and with that we are able to go inwards and tap into the ability to activate the inner natural healing existing inside of you already. Also as you begin to feel, that means when you are feeling your body you are in the present moment. When you are in the present moment you can have awakening and awakening happens internally inside of you then it becomes awareness. Now when you can become aware of yourself then you'll be able to see the things that you couldn't see before. We are able to begin to recognize the cause of pain as you become more and more aware and that will lead to accepting and healing. But today I want to share the steps of this healing process so first is activating the sense of feeling of your body at the same time you want to say something that helps your mind to continue to focus on that feeling without judgment and I will help you with those words. As you do that you begin to have this integration of what you say and what you feel together so you don't disconnect yourself from the pain you'll be able to feel the pain but allowing this present moment to help you to stay together with that feeling of pain you'll be able to move the energy inside of you and when you are moving the energy inside through connection of mind and body then you will activate the natural healing sense. Afterwards as you feel the energy movement you will feel much better inside of your body and you can finally accept your body being the place where you can create health, joy, happiness and peace When I suggest to you accept your pain, how do you feel? Definitely don't want to accept the pain, isn't it? And so before we can get there you want to have acceptance about the truth about yourself So accept that health is the natural state of your being Accept that I can heal Pain is temporary, pain is not your identity Your body is the best place where you can create healing Pain is my guide Pain helps me to see where I need to focus that I couldn't see and recognize before You are very powerful inside You have ability to heal anything What you resist will persist If you resist the pain, you will keep that pain and you will begin to talk to you even more loudly So by focusing internally and activate the internal sense to heal you are on the journey and on the way to heal yourself, love yourself and have the time even you feel pain that's coming in the future you will be able to love and accept yourself even much, much more Have you ever had someone in your life whom you love being in pain? How did you feel about that person? Did you hate the person? Dislike the person? Or did you feel love and compassion towards that person? Just like you are approaching another human being whom you love When you feel pain inside of your body I want you to treat the pain like somebody whom you love is having a pain Through that you can feel compassion towards yourself too So I hope this helped you to be motivated to go within and to at least you can begin to say those words as you feel the pain In the next episode, I will share with you how to meditate so that you can accept your pain So stay tuned You are watching Tau Thursday with You Tube Call on Brain Education TV See you very soon
