The New Year is almost here. A time for celebrations, new beginnings, new resolutions, new aspirations! Is being PAIN FREE part of your New Years Resolution? Interestingly, PAIN is often times the #1 reason that keeps people from living their dreams and achieving their goals. Lots of people I know have resigned to the idea that they just have to live with the pain and adjusted to the limitations that come with "living with pain". Are you one of them?
If you said YES to ANY of the above, I want to say to you… For far too long we have been conditioned to think of PAIN as the "enemy", as "the problem" as something we need to get "rid of". And with that kind of thinking, we go out on a hunt for all the things outside of ourselves - pills, injections, massages, new mattresses, hot packs, cold packs, inflammatory pills etc. to help "FIX" the problem! But that is OLD WAY of looking at PAIN! WHAT IF….
Let me share with you a recent PAIN STORY…a personal experience! 2 weeks ago I was attending a Mastermind Retreat in Santa Cruz, California. I had traveled from Thailand all the way for this retreat. I had a blast there learning new ideas, tools, sharing, connecting and networking with a wonderful group of like minded people. On the last night of the retreat, I headed back t my hotel room with my room- mate. As I got ready to change into my night suit, I felt intense pain in my lower back. I was shocked, and frustrated. And confused? PAIN? ME in PAIN? Huh? What the heck is going on? My roomie - an ex- physician - now a Destination Retreat specialist, Sheri Rosenthal, immediately asked me which part of the back was hurting and told me an exercise that would help. I wanted to resist because I was the PAIN RELIEF EXPERT here! Why the heck was I in pain taking tips from another? My ego was hurting! But…I tried the exercise anyway, because I loved and respected my roomie. The exercise did bring slight relief and I after an exhausting 2 days, I went to bed. The next morning to my dismay, I woke up with more sharp and intense pain! My roomie had left early that morning due to an early morning flight so I was alone. I found that even small movements like bending to sit on the toilet seat, showering, wearing my clothes, putting on shoes became uphill tasks…and I was in tears! What the heck is going on? And I'm supposed to be the expert! I didn't have much time to think. I had to pack and check out in an hour. A college friend living in Santa Cruz was to pick me up that morning as I was going to spend the weekend with her. The car ride to my friends' house was a slow one as the twists and turns aggravated the pain. I felt embarrassed, angry at myself and like a burden on my friend! My friend offered a hot pack soon as we were home and that felt very soothing. But it was temporary. She suggested I try the IBUPROFIN and other pain killers. I had had these medicines a decades ago and knew better… but popped them anyway! I guess a sense of panic was seeping in! I wanted the pain to go away at any cost so I would not be a burden and inconvenience my friend. But the Pain intensity remained right where it was! Then I reminded myself of the ROOT CAUSES of lower back pain. I recalled the videos I had made for my You Tube Channel on this particular topic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZcX6jzfsCI&t=128s As I began to reflect step by step, lots of feelings surfaced… deep anger and frustrations with someone who had not paid money owed to me for many months, worries and frustrations over family issues after a recent visit to my parent's home, not having reached my financial goals for the year, not trusting myself and my journey, all sorts of feelings about not supporting my own family enough etc. WOW! There was so much I was holding on to…subconsciously! As I scribbled on my notebook about all the different experiences related to these issues, that made me feel HURT, ANGER, FRUSTRATIONS, SADNESS, GUILT, WORRY, DOUBT around Money, Family, My work. I began to use EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to CLEAR OUT all these heavy negative loaded feelings. After about 45 minutes of non-stop Tapping, I got off the bed to take a pee break! What a feeling! I was thrilled! I ran to my friend's bedroom and told her what happened. And she was in shock and amazement at the process! She could not believe what she was seeing as less than an hour ago, she had tucked me in bed with a hot pack. Not only was she amazed at the ‘miracle' she was witnessing, she was now interested in trying the process for her own lower back pain that she had for decades! I continued to do some more Tapping later and by the time I left my friends home, my pain was all gone! Remember, INSANITY, as defined by Albert Einstein, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results! So What If… What If you stayed open minded? You will never know, until you give it a go! I wish for you A Happy Healthy Pain Free 2018!

While that was impressive, it's nothing compared to how her programenabled me to deal with a lifetime of emotional clutter. Each area of this program seemed to match perfectly with issues I was dealing with at the time, and now I have tools which I use daily to prevent emotional issues from taking a foothold and piling up. Most importantly, the EFT techniques Shalini used have allowed me to address older issues in a new way and free myself from their very strong grasp. An open mind and a desire to live a peaceful life are the only requirements!"
