By Claudette Renee Lyons,
I am a diverse human with a passion for philosophy, yoga, hypnotherapy, self-defense, and singing. I have an honorary doctorate in philosophy, and I am a kundalini yoga instructor, a certified hypnotherapist, a self-defense practitioner, and a singer. I love to explore the different aspects of life, and to seek the wisdom behind the challenges.
One of the lessons that I have learned is that pain is not something to be avoided, but something to be embraced. Pain is the medium to development and growth. It is the catalyst that pushes us to change, to evolve, and to transform. It is the teacher that shows us our strengths, our weaknesses, and our potentials.
Pain is inevitable in life. We all experience physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual pain at some point. Pain can be caused by injury, illness, loss, trauma, conflict, or any other situation that threatens our well-being. Pain can be acute or chronic, mild or severe, temporary or persistent.
But pain is also relative. Our perception of pain changes, evolves, and as we release rigid mindsets, judgments, we have a transformation in the journey we are experiencing. How we perceive pain depends on many factors, such as our beliefs, expectations, attitudes, emotions, and coping skills. Some people may perceive pain as a threat, a punishment, or a curse. Others may perceive pain as a challenge, a lesson, or a blessing.
How we perceive pain also affects how we respond to pain. Some people may react to pain with fear, anger, resentment, or despair. Others may respond to pain with courage, acceptance, gratitude, or hope. Some people may try to escape from pain with denial, distraction, or numbing. Others may try to face pain with awareness, attention, or healing.
The way we perceive and respond to pain can either amplify or reduce the intensity and duration of pain. It can also either hinder or enhance our development and growth. If we perceive and respond to pain negatively, we may suffer more and stagnate. If we perceive and respond to pain positively, we may suffer less and grow.
I have learned to perceive and respond to pain positively. I have learned to see pain as an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to transform. I have learned to use pain as a fuel to ignite my passion, to motivate my action, and to inspire my creativity. I have learned to embrace pain as a part of life, to accept pain as a part of myself, and to transcend pain as a part of my journey.
I have learned to use various tools and techniques to transform pain in a healthy and constructive way. Some of the tools and techniques that I use are the services me and my team of practitioner's help with many other people:
Kundalini yoga: Kundalini yoga is a form of yoga that combines physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and chanting. It helps to balance the energy centers in the body, to release the stored emotions and traumas, and to awaken the spiritual potential. Kundalini yoga helps me to connect with my body, to calm my mind, and to elevate my spirit.
Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that uses hypnosis to access the subconscious mind, where the root causes of pain and other issues are stored. It helps to change the negative beliefs, habits, and patterns that contribute to pain, and to replace them with positive ones. Hypnotherapy helps me to heal my past, to empower my present, and to create my future.
Self-defense: Self-defense is a form of training that teaches how to protect oneself from physical harm, using various techniques such as striking, blocking, grappling, and escaping. It helps to improve the physical fitness, mental alertness, and emotional confidence. Self-defense helps me to strengthen my body, to sharpen my mind, and to boost my self-esteem.
Singing: Singing is a form of expression that uses the voice to produce musical sounds, words, and melodies. It helps to release the tension, stress, and pain, and to enhance the joy, happiness, and pleasure. Singing helps me to express my feelings, to communicate my thoughts, and to celebrate my life.
These are some of the ways that serve the purpose of feeling pain and how to use it as a medium to development and growth. I hope that by sharing my experience, I can inspire others to find your own ways to transform pain and use it as a medium to development and growth. Thank you for reading.
