Exploring the profound truth that while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Learning to lean into growth transforms trauma into wisdom through conscious action.
As we walk the human journey, we will each experience a variety of challenging cycles within our lives. These cycles are divinely timed as part of our unique experience.
The truth is that pain is an inevitable part of being human. However, our suffering is optional. We have a choice regarding our relationship to pain, and whether or not we suffer because of this pain.
These experiences are deeply spiritual and have been a part of the human journey throughout time. Painful experiences and circumstances are an opportunity to discover the unknown resources of power within each of us.
Amongst my deepest ethos and practice orientation remains true:
A problem is never the true problem, what matters most is how we orient ourselves around that problem.
An empowering awareness is, we can’t avoid pain. We can avoid suffering.
At its most extreme, the conditions of these cycles are brought to surface through unforeseen life events such as trauma, illness, accidents, death, divorce, financial loss, or any other past or present life circumstance.
Many of us do not even recognize what is occurring, as it is hidden within the pain and chaos of ordinary life.
But we are all here to live our purpose. Which means, if we are to bring our unique gift or medicine to the world, we must go through the experience of wounding, death and rebirth, and conscious post-traumatic growth before we can live in the fullness of our truth.
Our challenges are the lessons that lead to our own personal power where wisdom can emerge.
In psychology, this has been studied and is known as ‘POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH’.
This phenomenon says that when we experience trauma of any kind, we have the opportunity to be reset in the aftermath of the trauma, which is always a mindset choice.
The viable opportunity exists to have an even more meaningful life after the trauma when we choose to lean into the growth opportunity from the pain or loss.
Simply put, experiences open us to greater wisdom when accompanied with conscious right action.
This has everything to do with our consciousness and choosing to align with what truly matters to us, which we often only discover after the trauma occurs.
Clarity, trust, self-love and self-worth, and discernment of what is ours to transform, and what is not ours to carry forward are the qualities we must cultivate in order to support the growth of wisdom in our lives so that we may walk our path of purpose and fulfillment.
It is taking what we have experienced and learned and transforming our lives to co-create with this new understanding and meaning for ourselves, and for the world around us through our purpose and meaning.
Exploring the wounded parts of ourselves is how we open to the ultimate possibility that is our life.
Awakening our consciousness and leaning into the pain opens the door to a truly unimaginable possibility.
Living a deeply awakened life is so magnificent and so far beyond most of what we see in the world that even when we experience it for ourselves, we often find it hard to accept that life could be this extraordinary.
But for us to make room in ourselves for the miraculous to take root, we must uncover, and ultimately restructure the belief in a life of limitation and examine our relationship with pain and suffering.
This deeply rooted and often unconscious limitation subtly holds us back from taking the steps of trust required to truly experience our own personal freedom and create a life we love living.
Speaking from personal experience, I know how grateful I am for the traumas in my life.
Although the pain I have experienced personally felt excruciating and unrelenting at times, I would not have become the person I am, fulfilled by the work that I do, and conscious of my authentic Self if it were not for these experiences.
I chose to lean into my post-trauma growth. I sought out healing, I turned inward, I explored my pain and relationship to suffering, I grew a relationship with my subconscious patterns. I became conscious of what I was meant to learn from the pain and who I could become because of it.
My orientation to trauma was to witness the growing edge that was available to me through its discovery and unfolding. In doing so, I vaporized my suffering and became empowered by my pain.
This was my awakening process and the pathway to my highest self.
You can awaken too. It’s never too late to change your relationship with suffering and trauma.
An awakening is not just a glimpse into the future — it’s an awareness of what is already true within you, here and now. What is aching to be birthed through you from your divine blueprint.
This is who you were born to be. It’s your true power, your essence, your genius, and the source of your prosperity and happiness.
When you are cut off from the truth of your essence, you don’t just fail to fulfill your true potential, you experience a disconnection from this divine pattern in you.
That’s why the many attempts’ people make to solve “the problem/ sickness/ suffering” don’t work — because they are symptoms, not the root cause.
When we rediscover our truth and begin to align with and activate the latent power within us, our suffering dissolves.
This is when miracles can happen.
