Beyond Survival: Bringing Our Pain Onto The Path

This article explores the concept that pain and trauma, often viewed as obstacles, can be transformative forces when approached with compassion. The author, Nityda Gessel, argues that rather than repressing our pain or disconnecting from it, we should consciously embrace and integrate it into our healing journey. This process of embodiment allows us to reconnect with our true nature, leading to spiritual awakening and deeper personal growth. The article emphasizes the importance of embodiment in overcoming the disconnection caused by trauma, particularly in a society that often prioritizes productivity over personal well-being. By attending to our pain with care, we can heal not only ourselves but also contribute to a more compassionate and connected world.
