Ridding Yourself of Emotional Pain
Emotional pain is the worst kind of pain. The body can heal physical pain, but emotional pain is hard to comfort and most certainly hard to heal completely. Emotional pain can linger for years in our psyche and heart, causing even mental problems (do not be alarmed: these mental issues can also be cured alongside emotional pain.) The problems we had with our livelihood and interpersonal relationships can hinder us if they aren't presently "healed." To heal these emotional scars we need to do 3 things: (Please see below)
1. Address
2. Seek refuge
3. Recover
Address
We must address our emotional wound. We must acknowledge that we have been emotionally wounded, and we must also understand it causes us pain. Addressing is the first step, and often neglected, as we often cannot handle the reality of the pain our heart is in. The truth is we are in a constant state of pain. When we do face our fears and emotional hurts, we enter a state of healing. Our mind goes from "I'm in such pain" to "I'm in pain and I don't like it." When we realize and address our pain we go into a state of healing. We have identified our state of mind and matter of heart, and are now willing to seek healing and a cure. We will find the cure only after we begin to chase after it.
Seek Refuge
Our heart must seek refuge during times of emotional pain. We try so hard to both hide and deny our pain, and seeking refuge during times of pain is done after acknowledgment of our emotional wound. The cure to our pain comes through safety and refuge. When we escape the broken world and take time to actively work on healing our emotional pain, we flourish. It's no longer about the pain we are feeling and the source of our pain: it's about the time we take for oursellves and the measures we take to have time to understand what happened and how it makes us feel. We must actualize our emotions, and understand what exactly went wrong in our emotional experience. We are not a product of our failures, but a product of the experienced that make us feel human. In times of solistice we tend to let it all go and eventually forget our pains. Live not for others, but for yourself during this time. Your healing should not involve anyone but yourself and your heart.
Recover(y)
Recovery is the ultimate and final step to healing our emotion pain. We are in a state of constant suffering in our normal state: upon receiving enlightenment and sagehood we enter a sort of an eclispe of our human state. We polarize both reality and nirvana. Nirvana, though, is a state of ultimate reality. The reality of it all is that any sort of suffering will keep us away from enlightenment and sagehood. What does a sage do when an emotional problem happens? I do not know: in my life I find that all suffering comes from the ways of this broken world. I am not one defined by others, but am one defined by my consciousness. My consciousness is reality. What I am now does not hope to remain, for I am a leaf in the wind, here today, gone tomorrow, and back someday in that same wind.
Conclusion
Address your emotional pain, seek healing in refuge, and recover, not erasing our emotional pain, but incorporating it into a positive aspect of our psyche. We cannot escape or completely disipate our emotional wounds. We must accept them, and ultimately move on with our lives. We are too good to stay in a state of suffering, for we are the future.
