Painbodies

I had to wonderful opportunity to listen to a beautiful lady share her story to me today.  She spoke about her life and her beliefs that she has carried heavily on her back for many years.  One voice being that of her father, a reassuring voice.  “You can be anything you set your mind  to be,” he would tell her.  Then another voice, her mothers, which was not so supportive.  For every time  her mother would say you can’t, her dad would say, over and over, you can.  But the I can’t stuck!  Dad’s voice was negated by mom’s and that set the course for many years of suffering.  Only after her father has passed can she give his voice the place it deserves to be in her mind.  He is physically gone now and her mother is alive and well, but finally, something changed inside her to be able to hear clearly the voice that was from love, acceptance and everlastingly Dad’s.

What to do  you choose to hear?  Is your life still functioning from the voices in your head that tells you what you can and can not do?  Are they your thoughts?  Your beliefs?  Or are they old painbodies that you are still pulling behind you like a cart with flat tires? 

You can choose what to carry with you and what to drop to the side.  Find three things from your past that you need to pick up and remember and with that drop the thoughts that no longer serve your highest self.

Peace be with you!
