HELP WITH HEALING
It sounds gloomy, but at points in our lives, every one of us will experience pain, be it emotional or physical. Our experience of suffering is one thing that unites us all, regardless of age, gender, race or financial status. Remembering this can help us feel less alone, and have greater compassion for others. How do you deal
with pain? Do you block
it out, or drown in it?
Or do you lean in to empty my mind’, and improve it and accept it?
This month, we are looking at how to help ourselves through painful moments.
