Miracles & Expectations

I cannot guarantee you will experience any miracles.  (Though at the same time, I cannot prove that one has never happened)!

Each of us has different expectations when we go to a practitioner asking for help. Sometimes we feel like we want things to become be the same as they were before. And we say we need a miracle!

I wonder do we really want to go back to how things were before?

When we experience pain or illness, it takes us to our uncomfortable places, where we ‘feel’ our pain and our trauma. We remember the other times too. We try to take ourselves out of that feeling.

But Pain is our alarm system. It grabs our attention, telling us that something is ‘wrong'. It requires all of our energy to attend to the situation.

We need a different relationship with pain. A more honest conversation perhaps. A willingness to explore its patterns, boundaries and depths in a safe space.
