Pain: Learning To Attract Its Opposite
Written by Joy Idries
When it comes to pain you have a choice. How you react to pain can make it your enemy or your friend.
So it might be a good idea to take a look at the way you view pain and what meanings you give to whatever is happening in your body.
What is it about the pain that you find yourself focusing on the most? How do you verbalise to your friends and family what it feels like? What words or gestures do you use to describe how it is affecting your life? What are your facial expressions like?
It is our natural birthright to be well and healthy. If you are not feeling very well or that something is not quite as it should be, this might be a good indication that you are out of alignment with your normal healthy natural state of being which is by default, pain-free.
Pain doesn't feel very nice but instead of immediately interpreting it as the 'enemy' you might be better off choosing to see it as a useful signal that your body is giving off to indicate that it would like you to do something to bring it back to its natural healthy original state.
The basis of the Law of Attraction is that things of similar vibration are drawn towards each other. Like attracts like, whether that is something negative or positive.
Whenever you continue to feel victimised and hopeless around pain you may attract towards you more things to feel hopeless and miserable about. When you are feeling doubtful about becoming well again, opportunities of becoming well and pain free may elude you because the Law of Attraction matches like with like.However if you see it as a signal to turn things around then things can be turned around as you switch vibrations.
Every time you experience an initial onset of pain you will probably find that all of your attention is immediately drawn to it like a magnet. This is a natural first response and is the body's way of getting your attention. But you don't need to stay there. The problem arises when you get stuck on the pain and dwell on it for too long so that it turns from signal to a more chronic condition.
Once you have reassured yourself there's no immediate danger, you could turn things around by making a deliberate choice to feel hopeful of recovery and focusing on that. Practise bringing your focus away from the pain and towards the parts of your body that are healthy and feel good, thereby opening a way for recovery to be attracted towards you. You might, for example be experiencing pain in your lower back or in your hip, knee or shoulder. At this point you could try choosing, as an experiment, to focus instead on the ease with which you breathe or how easy and delightful it is to be able to wiggle your fingers and toes ...
You will begin to think and feel differently about your body which will then support you by chu
ing out feel good hormones in response to your lighter focus. As that happens any pain you were experiencing will start to slowly disappear.
This process you can help shift the balance of your thoughts around pain to a place where you can begin to attract a healthy flow of wellness and restoration which can lead back to full vibrant health and a lessening or even complete resolution of pain.
We don't need to let pain take our power away. Nor our good feelings. We have the resources to make powerful choices for ourselves in line with the natural laws of the universe that are there to support us. You are the master of your thoughts and feelings and focus and you can bring about whatever it is you desire just by switching to what you want rather than what you don't.
