Pain, in its greatest triumph, exists as fear and shadow.
And so how do we triumph over pain?
We triumph by allowing its power to be fully felt, and in so doing, our power becomes infinitely greater.
And so, dear one, I know your heart breaks. That’s okay. Let it break. Widen the walls of your heart and create capacity to hold the pain and more. Let it in. You are growing, and there is more to you than this heart break. You will expand as you breathe and you will breathe as you expand; so make room for it all. There will be a resurfacing, there will be an easing, there is more than anguish alone. You are more than your anguish.
Become bigger than your pain and give space to the beauty and softness which awaits.
So just BREATHE. You think you’re trapped, you think you’re a bird in water, but you will never know your capacity for the spectrum of human experience unless you give yourself the chance to embrace this sensation. So open your mouth; gasp; choke, but just keep breathing. You are more powerful than your pain. You are far more powerful than you can even know.
