Pain | Message from Danu | Channeled Message from the Morrigan

Pain is a glamour, too. Covering the best parts of your life, obscuring love and halting momentum. Beauty fades, and so do scars, but a watched pot never boils. Perhaps there will not be a release in the way you expect, all at once and all encompassing. Perhaps it comes in waves and maybe it won't feel how you think it will. To release pain, you must first release all expectation of it. Do not anticipate the flinching and welping of pulling out the bullet in your back, or the relief of it being over with. Forget how you thought you should think about this. Don't think, just yank it out, and find a way to stop the bleeding. Do not hesitate. This is vital for your continued survival. To heal new wounds, you must move in new ways.

Who are you without your pain? Do you fear the void that is left when the bullets are removed? "What will I fill them with?" you wonder. You must trust your body - the earth, the water, the oxygen - to do its job. There is only so much you can control. If the wound becomes infected, take your prescription. If it hurts, then rest. Nourish yourself with what's been missing. What have you been missing?

If you are thirsty, drink water. If you are weak, eat a cow. You are what you eat. What have you been eating? Who do you desire to become?
