changing your relationship to pain

I just found out that someone had taken copious notes on Matt Kahn’s pain video. I agree it is vital to change our understanding of the role pain or suffering plays in our lives. It is a messenger. Thank you Chelsea for doing this! I did the bolding.

**My notes from this youtube clip below. Some word by word. His downloads are also INCREDIBLY powerful for anyone who is empathic and energetically sensitive. I feel so blessed to have found his videos**
When I am in pain, I recognize that there is an opportunity to come into a new form of relationship with it. I am choosing to see pain as a gift, instead of resist it, which then creates suffering and overwhelm.
When pain shows up, I will no longer think that I did anything wrong. I do not blame myself. I simply accept that it is evidence of my highest evolution already in progress.
I am releasing the idea that when I am in pain, that I am less than the divine perfection that I have always been.
The pain may not be convenient, and it may not be comfortable…because the inconvenience and discomfort is actually moving you out of your old paradigm. We are in comfort in the vibrational place where we are spending the most amount of time in. Whenever we shift into something else, since it is not comfortable, we deem it as uncomfortable. We soon shift into thinking since it is unknown, then it is going to be exciting.
No one teaches you that when pain comes, welcome it with excitement. We can actually do that! We have the right to be excited when pain arrives. The discomfort of it is moving into a new frequency, like a baby being birthed into the world, into a new vibration or dimension it doesn’t know. And we judge the pain because in the subconscious mind of humanity, there is a belief that pain is in the way of pleasure. We have been judging pain as the barrier in the way of our pleasure. We say to ourselves, if I was not feeling this way, here are all the things I would be doing with my life.
You cant control the pain you are in, you cannot control or negotiate the amount of pain you feel, you cannot make it more convenient or comfortable. When pain is debilitating, you have been thrust into the epicenter of the most intense spiritual inquires.
And the inquiry is: how can I strip away every judgment I have against pain, every superstitious belief that there is something other than the light of divinity? How can I acknowledge and embrace it as what is here to escort me towards a higher consciousness? With excitement in your heart say “I don’t know what its here to teach me, I don’t know what its here to take away from me, or where its guiding me… but it can only be the next level of my evolution, because energy expands and goes up but never goes down.
Let pain rob you of everything you no longer need. Take the time to play on pains team. Don’t be the opposing team that competes against it. Do not compete with pain, because it will teach you that you cannot compete with it. Team up with pain.
When pain is present, I breath it into every cell of my body, and then breath it out as blessings for humanity. Breath in the pain and I say “Yes pain, take everything I don’t need, and when I exhale may it be blessings for all”. Yes pain, take everything of who I am away so I no longer define myself in time and space. Take every shield from me pain. Show me how powerful you are lord, I am the most willing participant. Yes lord come on in. I have befriended you, and im also not looking for you, yet when you come around I have an open door policy. Pain returns me to the faith in divinity.
To walk around guarded and shielded on this planet is to hold the belief that there is something other than the light of divinity in every form. If everything is god and everything is one, then why do you have a shield? Is god going to fight you? We have been using egos and the heinous things they can do to prove to ourselves that there is something other than the light of god at work.
As the god that I am, I declare that it is all god. If we so boldly in the love revolution decided to say “I declare that everything is the light of perfection, no matter how much pain I am in or others, criminalized, victimized or wronged, I will never stop affirming that it is all divine perfection at work. I am going to declare that it is all god, no matter how ungodly the behavior of the world is, and if you maintain that position, then you will start to transform the planet, and nothing but the goodness of eternal light reveals itself to you in all things. That is what pain is transforming in all of us, the ability to embody and declare that only divinity is here, so we call forward a world where only divinity is present.
The game is that pain, discomfort and inconvenience can turn most peoples faith away from the divinity. We are allowing pain, discomfort and inconvenience to free us from all distractions that keep us from the light. If you want a way out of pain, then return to the light of your being. When we befriend pain, then others can no longer use painful threats to get us to do what they want, because we are no longer afraid of pain. We have transformed through pain so much that others can no longer use pain against us.
For empathic individuals… who easily get bombarded by pain when around others or in public spaces .. its because their sensitive souls are picking up on the unconscious pain of others, who have not yet acknowledged to themselves they are in pain. Empaths then pick up on it, start to feel it, and if we keep denying others pain, then we feel it as well. By simply saying in ones head “Sorry for your pain” OR “I acknowledge your pain” it will drop from your own body!! This allows us empaths to be less of a victim, and more of a spiritual badass!
“I acknowledge you are in pain and don’t know what to do”
I acknowledge you are in pain and not aware of it yet
Im even in pain in front of you
Im sorry you are in so much pain, and don’t even know it, and don’t know what to do about it
By us saying this, it frees the other person from the pain. It frees the other person from the pain they are in, the pain that they do not have the heart yet to acknowledge.
Sorry for your pain , I have been in pain myself, and I did not know what to do either. I can understand why you have a problem with me, because if you turned your attention away from that distraction, you would then become aware of the pain within your own body that scares the crap out of you. And to avoid that horror film, you have turned me into your monster.
They only act this way because they are in pain.
Every victimizer is a victim in denial.
In a triggering situation and both people want to talk about it, they are wanting to relieve themselves from pain. It only works if both people sit down and say “I am in in pain and I do not know what to do about it”. If only one is in pain, then its all about fully acknowledging the other persons pain, not about being rational with them.
