Healing the pain
Monday, August 17, 2009 at 09:26PM In life we have all had pain, whether it's physical, emotional, medical or something else, pain is something that happenes every single day, we can't escape it, we can't do anything to stop it, it's there... but there are so many times that we grow and learn from this, however when we go through it we don't know the reason for it.
Pain makes us so much stronger, it helps us grow.
We all have to go through the healing process, and often we don't learn either so wounds have to be opened up and then they create more pain and it's like we are bleeding all over again, but then one day you wake up to find that what ever had caused you pain has actually healed itself and scabbed over, and fresh skin is growing, thicker skin.
Of course there will always be atender spot there, and there is nothing you can do, it may even scar us, but it's part of life and the path that we have chosen. but we look at those scars as reminders of how we did things in the past and how we can change our lives, and not make the same mistakes again.
Its incredible.
I look at the human body as a being that can heal itself from so much, physical pain, operations, illnesses, etc. We out our bodies through so much and it's amazing how resiliant it is. We also put our souls through so much, and we have to learn to be tough and thick skined and not allow things to get to us too much. We also have to learn to accept, love and also some people who may not like us very much... it's part of life and a huge learning curve.
I am healing from physical things at the moment which prompted my blog but I knwo so many who are healing from other things, but you must always remember to think positive and know that you can do it, and heal, and also, believe in yourself and know anything is possible!
Love to you and everyone around you...

Oh, Lisa, you are so amazing. I completely agree with you. I am a cancer patient as well as a myriad of other medical issues. I don't mean to sound crazy but I walk around with the stones from you that I recieved from your local Boise visit, as well as your membership pkg. I believe so strongly in you that I believe the journey will all be worth it. I also deal with a neurlological disorder (narcolepsy) which carries lots of shame and embarrasment. It is hell. I love you dearly and so appreciate your support and kind words. Lisa, you make me smile.
Thank you so much for this <3 Feel a little better every time I read your blog. xx
So true Lisa. One of the hardest pains to go through is losing someone (or losing two or three family members in a row). Eventually it does make you stronger but you never forget. Belief in the hereafter will get you through. Believe........
So true, Lisa!!! Feel good and grow every day!!! Much Love <3 <3 <3
Hi Lisa
so true everything you say here. And hey Lisa, I really wish you to heal from whatever you are dealing with now. Poor you. Sending you healing energy. Hope its not too bad. Hey Lisa, what you said about becoming stronger from our sufferings, gosh so true. We all have to learn all these lessons in life and we should all try to be more understanding and help each other. So many people are so ignorant, they have much to learn, Its the others that need to learn patience with these individuals. Hey thanks 4 sharing this with us Lisa. I wish you all the best with your health. Take care, Marcel :) hug 4 u
I want you to know that I didn't mean for my previous entry to be about me and my issues. I want my energy and love to be sent to all others who need it more. I have never quite been sure what my true purpose has been but I have to believe it is to serve others and that's what I intend to do. I am so touched by you and all that you do that I feel so much better about my journey even if it is sooner rather than later. You are my hero and my daughter's hero as well. I feel that you are experiencing something in your life. I want to say~~~ Bless you, my love.
I agree with you Lisa and I do feel there are all different levels of pain. I was told pain is our friend because it leads us to the answers we need, as well as areas we need to focus on.
5 years ago I was paralyzed with no hope of every walking again. The pain I felt was beyond what I could conceive. Minute by minute I my attention was drawn to taking just one more breath, Everyday I would have my physical therapist sit me up in bed and hold me in place, and put my hands on the walker because I was determined one day I'd pull myself up no matter what anyone said. I certainly was tired of someone else bathing me, brushing my teeth and hair and feeding me. I wasn't sure I'd ever walk and did not know what the next day would bring but 2 years later I began to use my arms. I decided that I would paint a wheelchair with me in it and then paint myself getting out of the wheelchair and walking. Soon I decided to paint my way back into life, 3 years later I stood and walked with a walker. I never once stopped living, This is the 5th year, I just chased my dog down the street and caught up to him. Miracles do happen and we can make them happen. Pain has been my worst enemy and my best friend. Yet when I flash back preparing and packing for a trip to Africa as my partner prepared her speach to encourage the African government to accept help from the USA; medication and treatment to combat the AIDS virus. I remember the children there, all they have had to endure and yet, they never stop believing, never complained and always maintained hope. These children had gone through more in a month then most do in a lifetime. The music would come on and tho most were orphaned they sang and danced as tho they were kings and queens and I'd have to say at that moment they were the riches people I'd known. Children and Animals are great teachers. Their Innocence is no way Nievity. To believe in miracles, to hold onto hope the way they have is true courage and unbelievable wisdom.
Lisa I sooo needed that. I am taking huge leaps to attempt to heal my biggest wounds in the next 2 weeks, all in the hopes of one day being capable of giving back to others, being the healer I think I can be.
I take your words with me, and they are powerful, helping already to unlock my inner courage.
and remember as you continue your work, and your own personal healing,
to follow your own advice :)
and also no matter what kind of day you're having
"darling you look marvelous"
hehe (the box of stones, member?)
safe travels!
As always you are an inspiration with your wise words. Seems like your blogs always hit the mark for me.
Much love & many blessings to you
Bonnie A.
PS: Hope your resting & taking care of yourself as we discussed, especially as Sue has gone home, although I am sure Kev & your family are watching over you. Safe travels
Hi there, I just wanted to say a huge thanks to Kathi and to Taylor...thanks so much for sharing your story with others. I don't beleive at all that you would have harmed anyone at all on the blog...ie
"I want you to know that I didn't mean for my previous entry to be about me and my issues"
My beleif is that we can learn sooooo much from others and their experiences, for the people who just like to read the blog I am sure that they receive so much from your experiences and that they most likely feel less alone with their struggles.
Its an incredibly courageous thing to share your innermost happenings and I thankyou so much for this.
Love and Light to you both
For now...back then and always

Thank You soooo very much, The spirits are really with you tonight and talking to me. Seems I just put in a request for healing and not more than an hour later you posted this. I sure needed to read this tonight. Thank You Thank You Thank You! I must remember that the pains shall pass someday and the lesson will stay with me. Sometimes tho I wish these lessons would have stayed with some others. So sad when they dont learn from them.
You are so sweet and understanding Please keep your health up too and dont forget to recharge yourself.
Carla
Dear Lisa
There is so much healing coming through you and all you touch Lisa. This blog is one way. We all want you to get the rest and healing that you need because you are so important to so many people. Most of all to your family esp. Charlie.
If you need time off, please take it and do not feel bad. That can also be part of the plan, the path we walk,- to take care of ourselves.
So bless you and may you recover fully from what it is you are going trough on a physical level right now.
I also want to send a good luck wish to all of you who struggle with their body or soul.
And Chitra it was so moving to read your message to me. Thank you and good luck with it all.

This is a subject very close to my heart. I have been through a lot over the last few years but it has all lead me on a journey to the light.
I now work reading for and healing others.
I could not have doen this without the pain I have been through and the experiences I have had. I have CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia and am in constant pain but I try to see it as a gift and an increase in my sensitivity.
I can understand truly when others tell me of their pain and I can help them to deal with it because I have been there.
We all have to make our own mistakes and sometimes we repeat things until we see the light and learn our lerssons but they are our own lessons and we have to see it ourselves. Therefor there can be no judgement or blame just love and understanding.
Thanks for all your insight, I am from Bromsgrove and have my own Healing centre there now. I see you are back in the UK touring soon I do hope you enjoy every minute.
Love Ruth
Hey Lisa..Us members were just talking about how your posts relate to so many of us..Another here today, does the same..Thank you..Send you some much needed healing now, 1, 2 3..XXXXX Love Stace
Hi Lisa,
Emotional pain is the worst!! I think I'd much rather endure physical pain! Losing someone to death, or a break-up is horrific to me, because thelingering questions won't stop, or perhaps the guilt too! The biggest worry is how they are doing, or if they suffered, or suffer. Then the urge to have that one last connection and a few more words....!
For awhile, I felt like the pain piled upon pain was going to be too much to bear if one more thing happened, but as I have gotten older, I guess I have hardend a lot more. I mean, I am still super sensitive, but I try and put things out of my head and try not to revisit them too often. If I didn't I would lose my mind. Now, I kind of don't get as emotionally involved anymore, because it often tends to blow up in my face. I am sure there must be better ways psychologically to deal with pain, but right now, this is a temporary fix. Dealing with emotional pain is a tough road to travel and it is sometimes best to deal with it under the supervision of a therapist, because the pain comes back so fresh and new and can be overwhelming; especially if there are many situations of pain that are triggered by the examination.
Life is hard, but we learn to cope.
My dearest wish is for people to have as little pain as possible, but when it does strike, to be able to accept it as a part of life and move on. I 'm still working on it.
Love and hugs,
Cheryl
Dear Lisa, this is a beauctiful and helping blog for so many of us, thank you.
I hope you're doing better, I know Kev, Charlie and all your friends are helping you and supporting you and you will be better. Take the time to rest and sweep away the negative thoughts that people could have had around you. You are an amazing person.
What you said about pains and illnesses is so beautiful. I's not always easy to transform a pain into strength but when it happens, it is true we can look behind and be astonished by what we have become. I am asthmatic since I was a child and it was very worrying at the time but now, because of the love and efforts I had around me, it is much better. And it is true everything I have been through has made me stronger and I am often surprised, as you said, to see that some pains, emotional or physical have disappeared.
Take good care of yourself Lisa,
Lots of love ;-))
Lise
Is it possible to heal alone? when there is no support, no encouragement, no love. When there are no friends? When family will kick you down before they will pick you up? When self tells you, you have no value no worth and self is fighting its own demons inside....leaves no strength to fight to heal.. I s it still possible???
some things are NOt possible and we have to accept that too
Hey there Lisa,
Your blog hit the spot... better then one of those energy power bars! All your blogs are great, but there are those extra special ones that really grab you...like a 3D energy zap. I am working on growing thicker skin which is definitely helpful and needed to maintain oneself in life. However, lots of historical scars still remain in my heart that need some work. :) If we let every little thing get to us, we end up remaining in a perpetual state of stagnant darkness which is quite unhealthy. It is like being an undeveloped roll of film... never seeing the full picture. Afterall, how many pity parties can we throw for ourselves?...same theme...same song...it gets boring! We are given free will and I highly recommend that we all take full advantage of it. No one likes going through pain whether emotional, physical, or spiritual but you are right that it is necessary in order to evolve and grow. Each of us has to find a healthy way of channeling our pain whether it is through music, art, physical activity, work, meditation, whatever gets you through it. All I know is I am really hoping to pass this big test called life so I don't have to repeat all of the lessons again... ;).
I hope you feeling better!
Sending you huge healing hugs,
DreamSpirit
Lisa ,
great blog today ...
yeees , we all learn a lot from our pain ..

lot's of healing hugs
Dearest "m".
I haven't seen you here before but I had to reply to your post.
The answer to your question is a resounding "YES", it is possible to heal without the support of family and friends! The strength is inside of you ! It is hard but if you look deep inside you will find that strength and come out fighting like you have never fought before!
Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies but we need to recognize that we are also here for a purpose and we are important. Only you can rid yourself of those demons inside. You have to fight back, even without the love of family. You can prove to them and to yourself that you are worth so much more! You just need to take one step at a time, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time.
I was abused at a very young age , both physically and mentally and found myself alone more than not. No place to sleep sometimes and afraid to go back to that place where I knew I would be kicked down.
Lift your head high, fight for yourself, show everyone including yourself that you have the strength to be the amazing person that you are. Change those words in your head from negative to positive! Every time you start to fall back, lift your head again and tell yourself that you deserve love and that you will prove yourself and everyone else wrong! You have the strength! Everyone does. You just have to fight to find it. It is not others that make or break us, it is not others that can or cannot make us happy. It is only us, ourselves that can find those things and move on.
Do something each day that makes you happy, even if it is something small, do it!
If you have to walk away from these people that treat you bad, then walk away for a while.
I will say it again, YES, you can heal!!! You can find your purpose, you can find and give love, you can be happy! It is there, somewhere deep inside of you but you have to fight! I can tell you that once you fight the fight you will look back on all this stuff so differently. We are all blessed in some ways but we have to grab a hold of those blessings and hold on .
I am sending you strength and love to help you fight for yourself.

If we were never to feel pain at all, then life lesson would probably be looked over and never thought of again, everyday is a life lesson, so let us learn from mistakes and through triumph. If we fail, it's not the end of the world, it's a beginning, a beginning to try to fix what has ailed us emotinally and physically, and I am a true believer in what alies us emotinally CAN affect us physically. Life goes on even after death, we can all attest to that right? We have all lost someone we love, but life has gone on. Bless you all, and always remember to smile, you can brighten someones day by doing so! :)
Lisa! I love to watch ur shows!! ur gift amazes me! Do come to Asia someday.... I'm from Singapore! =)
God Bless You!
Lisa, I am with you on the physical pain, hon! Which you know that I have been healing from my surgeries also, and still have one more to go through. And though it may be scary to go through, you always get through it, and look back and say, Hey I did it! And that in itself is a good feeling. Hope you are soon feeling back to normal!!
Healing with love is so vital and it can be tough. Through the years I have overcome so much, and unfortunately I found it made me "tough" and almost less compassionate. This had become something else to work through and your explanation a few blogs ago regarding ridding your negative energy or others around you by letting it go with love has helped me tremendously. I also, said thank you to it as I drift into the universe because it was rocket fuel that had taken me through other situations that otherwise I might not have been able to handle or perhaps foresee.
Thank you so much ~ and I also want to thank you for the healing I sent in last week. I truly feel the cloud has been lifted. The clarity of my soul and to finally feel the positive flow of energy throughout my family has been a true blessing AND so ARE YOU!!! xo
