Powerless to the Pain Blog

If you've ever been in chronic pain you know how draining and overwhelming it can be. The physical sensations of burning, aching or throbbing are bad enough. Then you add the emotional aspect where you may be blaming or even shaming yourself for being in pain and not being able to get rid of it or at least numb it. All the while feeling powerless to the chronic pain. 

I used to beat myself up for being in pain. I would judge the pain and focus on all the things I was doing wrong, like eating too much sugar, not drinking enough water, pushing my body by giving too many massages that week. I would finally get into bed and then toss and turn all night because I couldn't get comfortable. Only to do the same thing all over again. I started to feel powerless to my pain and would seek temporary relief by numbing or self medicating.  

My breaking point, where I knew the pain had power over me, happened after a difficult house call massage client. A house call meant I had to carry my massage table and bag. I had this one client who needed a ton of pressure. I would need to dig into her hips and back with my elbows to give her relief. I knew it was hurting my body but I wanted to help her and I needed the income. 

On one occasion after this challenging house call client, I was sitting in my car and my shoulder was throbbing. I felt overwhelmed and emotional. I wasn't even able to have a normal and peaceful conversation with my loving husband. I can't remember what we were talking about, but the pain was so loud that I started screaming at him, to the point where he had to yell back and hang up on me. Which if you know my husband is nothing like him. He is so kind and patient, but I was raging and he needed to get my attention. 

This was the day where I knew something had to change. I couldn't keep giving massages while in pain. My angels kept telling me, I don't have to be in pain if I make this change. 
I finally got an MRI that confirmed that I had 2 tears in my shoulder. Thank goodness, I only needed physical therapy and not surgery, like my ACL tear.  So I embarked on my second PT journey in under 2 years to help my shoulder recover from the tears. The shoulder tears and pain was the main motivation to retire from massage. I prayed and meditated with my angels for clarity. As terrifying as it was to retire from my almost 20 year massage career, the decision helped me take my power back from the pain. 

It's normal to feel powerless or like a victim when the pain takes over your consciousness but remember your angels know how to heal your pain. Taking your power back from the pain begins with the intention to do just that. Once you set the intention to receive pain relief, you need to devote yourself to this intention, while the pain releases in layers. The final step in the angelic pain relief formula is to relax and receive. Your power lies in being able to relax fully, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually while both releasing the pain and receiving your angel's love and compassion.
