One can indeed practice suffering. Being able to endure (cope, not quit) is a kind of skill. It's a survival skill, just not a skill for thrivingโฆ
Is it possible to take something painful and turn it into a practice for thriving? Absolutely!
Take a headache. Ouch! Headaches are hard. Our primitive brain wants to fight them or run from the pain. Sometimes we collapse into helplessness.
One couldโฆ
- Be curiousโฆ what would help my body feel supported?
- Be compassionateโฆ yes, a part of me is screaming. I can send it understanding and support it however I can.
- Be stillโฆ and drop into a deeper connection and awareness of how your energy and tissues are moving, pulsing, or tensing.
- Be askingโฆ turning to those who care for you, and asking for specific support.
- Be freeโฆ saying no without shame to anything you're not up for right now.
All these are practical ways of cultivating a love relationship with your body and enhancing your resilience in times of physical distress.
Notice that these practices โ which are possible even when we're suffering from a headache โ give us energy. Relief is energy. Replenishment is energy. Loving-kindness is energy. A healthy respect for where we are and what we feelโฆ protects our energy and lets our body heal.
