“Emotional and physical pain are messages that we need to stop and pay attention to our bodies and psyche. When we feel physical pain, most of us try to eradicate it immediately with medication and forget that it is the body’s way of letting us know that it needs our attention. Instead, listen to what your body is trying to tell you and treat the cause not the effect..by doing so we validate the connection between our minds and our bodies. Emotional pain lets us know about the condition of the psyche and informs us that we have been affected by something and should turn our attention inward…do not resist it! Listen to your inner voice, identify the source of the pain and surround yourself with love and support which are the best healers. Pain provides us with valuable information about ourselves, when we listen to it.” – By Daisy Alvarez
