Physical pain is acceptable in our society. We all have experienced physical pain and we hear it talked about in social circles and in groups.  Emotional pain is not as acceptable or discussed openly in the same way as physical pain. The wounds are just as deep and can be just as acute.

2005 was the most challenging year for me emotionally.  I faced and felt pain from my divorce. Through my work and contacts I was so fortunate to receive the best of help, support, and tools to get me through it all.  I learned that at the end of the tunnel there is great light and great joy.

So let's talk about pain and how to get through it.  When I sat with the pain and felt it, it often felt like an arrow piercing my heart.  When I was going through this process, I wrote the following dialogue which I titled Talking To the Pain.  "Q-Why is the pain there? A-To show me that it has always been there and that it is time to pull it out.  Q-What else does it tell you? A-Until the arrow is removed my heart will not be totally open. I can not totally give and I can not totally receive. Q-How are you going to remove the arrow? A-I don't know. Pulling it out seems so painful because it's a big arrow and it goes right through my heart. If I yank it out, I may damage my heart. Q-How else can you remove it? A-I can dissolve it in white light. I can put it through "God chemotherapy" and shrink it until it is not there anymore. Q- But doesn't chemotherapy have side effects?

A-Not  God's chemotherapy."
