Lesson 159: Lean Into Pain

Today’s lesson is about leaning into whatever pain you have – to go deeper and understand the patterns before we go into a lock-down mode. There was a bit of a disclaimer to always seek out a professional to diagnose problems. Whatever exercise we do is not to replace a medical professional.

So, if we go further deeper into a pain, all I have is my back pain. I do not have an emotional pain to face at present as I have already dealt with mine. I do however have a problem in my lower left back and right shoulder blade. My pain comes about if I stand for too long, sit too long, lie down too long, walking about, dancing… it just get’s triggered. know the one thing that triggers it the most is lying on my back for too long, which is actually hard to manage as we all need to sleep right? If I don’t switch up positions, this can just wreck my back for days. The only thing I can do is practise the stretches I am supposed to in order to help alleviate it. I received these stretches from a osteopath and try to follow it in order to ease my suffering. This prevents my body from going into a complete spiral.

What pain did you look at today and understood it a little bit better?

Lesson 159: Emotional Energy Determines Vitality...

“Emotional energy determines vitality. Balancing your emotional energy includes meditating, prayer, talk, connection, touch, sex. It also includes any time when you are basking in the bliss of cared for by yourself or by others.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about if we provide ourselves with enough emotional support. Are we in balance in providing support to others and allowing ourselves to have support?

I think in general, I’ve always been a person where people are attracted to me for emotional support. I can safely say that it’s unbalanced to where I allow myself to be supported. I feel that a lot of the time I need to face things on my own, learn and grow. I feel that if people do not understand my problem, I just simply wouldn’t go to them for the emotional support. I would go speak to a psychologist if it got really bad, but I never seek out emotional support from friends for things that I just don’t think they can handle. I know what people’s limits are as I test them with various subjects and see how far their emotional state can extend to.

I find more that I do readings through my mediumship that more and more people need more emotional support. There are so many people that aren’t able to make decisions for themselves towards a better future. I have gone above and beyond sometimes by initial reading to provide advice in their lives. I am no psychologist myself, but I find that I have a lot of life experience to be able to help others. I find people that people must see me as approachable in order to unload their issues.

I think what I do take time out to do is support myself emotionally by taking the time to self-care. I don’t always have myself available to help everyone all the time and place my own barriers up when I need to otherwise I would just get constantly drained. I have learned to place myself first sometimes and just have to say no because my time is energy. If I extend myself too much, I know it’s time to take a break from everything and everyone – those are the times to focus on self and I think that’s more than okay. I think most people can appreciate that. I have found when I do medium readings, people want me to provide all the answers and I’m not about that. I don’t want to be at someone’s beck and call whenever they need and that’s why barriers are important. I will help when I am fully energised.

How have you kept yourself balanced in your support of self and others?
