Why it hurts

Chronic pain patients hear time and time again that their body has malfunctioned often than not they had an injury or illness and their body repaired and healed but the pain remained. Or they have unexplainable pain that's persisted for months or years and does not seem to want to go or goes for a short while then comes back.

To understand this we have to understand what pain is. Pain is a response from your body telling you that something is wrong. The pain is not necessarily where the problem is and you can hurt for non physical reasons. Do I believe that the body can malfunction in a way to produce pain for no reason? No. I believe the body does whatever it needs to in order to communicate something with you. You can take a headache pill and maybe the headache goes and you don't need another but then it comes back maybe in a different way or different place maybe it's a slightly different symptom. But it does come back unless you address it. Sometimes it's not enough to see a dr to have bloods or scans done sometimes the body won't tell you why your hurting just that your doing something wrong and that you need to stop and pay attention.

The body can manifest emotions as pain, a job that's not serving you, relationships that are not beneficial, denying the you in you and basically not living your lifes path. Pain is your friend it helps you know when your in danger, when you need to change your course. So take time reflect think of your lifes direction what were you doing thinking or feeling when the pain started. Or what weren't you doing that you should of been. Maybe you put off time to yourself and have been running around looking after others neglecting yourself. Or maybe you've decided that your not jealous or affected by other people that you don't have problems and that other people are the problem. Take a moment and think about what your doing, are you causing your pain? Is there something you can do that would be good for you that might get to the root of the problem because if you don't solve the puzzle your body will keep serving you by making you hurt. I'm not saying it's your fault maybe it's not something that you did maybe it's just something you need to do. Something that will pull your life in the right direction. Maybe you are doing a good job working for good people but it's not what your passionate about and it's not what your meant to do. Maybe your job brings in the money but leaves you feeling empty.

Diagnosing the chakras and their imbalances can really help you nut out what the issues you are facing  are and where imbalances are whether they be physical, emotional or spiritual. Meditate and get to know yourself so you will be able to listen to what you already know and realise your own wisdom. A shaman can help heal you in more ways than medical they can retrieve parts of your soul that have left you through shock or extreme pain and trauma and help you become more whole and complete. They can also help you receive wisdom and understand what's going wrong in your life. They can help you begin to change what needs changing and give you the strength you need to heal more fully and not just medicate and ignore what your body needs you to know. Even if you don't want to see someone you can learn to do some of these things for yourself. Don't be afraid to ask for help and know that there is always someone to help when you need it. Sometimes it may not be a physical person. Maybe it's an animal or a spirit guardian or teacher. Sometimes the help will come in a way you don't like. healing can often bring up alot of pain and difficulty sometimes your teachers might seem cold or cruel but they are there to help and a lesson can be learned from everyone.

If you look at pain as being unexplainable or there because of a malfunction you might never be without it. Shamanism looks at illness and pain as the effect of an unhealthy energy body, which can be caused by spirits, negetivity, not taking care of your body, not being true to yourself, not living your lifes goal and picking up on messages from spirits and the earth trying to communicate. Some people can be sensitive to the earths changing electromagnetism or the electrical output of common technology around the home.

So if you want to be well and happy dig deep uncover and unbottle your repressions speak your truth and communicate deeply with people. Do what makes you happy and don't live in avoidance if something does not serve you find a way to change it or eliminate it. Ask and you will receive.
