Healing And Coping With A Major Medical Diagnosis By Exploring Awareness

Living with chronic pain or a disturbing medical condition creates a great challenge but can also be an opening to exploring awareness. As paradoxical as it seems, these types of difficulties can present an opportunity for transformation. Physical pain can be accompanied by resistance, fear, regret, judgment and other thoughts and emotions. It is said that “(pain) X (resistance) = suffering” In this episode, we explore awareness as Lisa reveals a serious medical condition, and how exploring awareness is teaching her how to “live her life”. There is an opportunity for peace within it can’t be thought up but it can be experienced

You can actually find peace in fear

and you can actually find peace in the pain

and you can find peace in the regret

and you can find peace in the judgement

and when you return home like that

those things start to fall off

they’re not serving you...they’re causing suffering

Transforming all of the difficult emotions and physical conditions into a sense of joy, love, peace and generosity doesn’t seem logically possible, but through awareness, it is possible- and relief may just be found in the most unlikely places.
