The Shift From Fear to Change

3/21/2018

Nearing the end of my pregnancy I noticed a shift in perspective.  Whereas I was once avoiding or not wanting to feel the physical pain of it, I am now embracing it.  This is because my perspective has shifted in regards to pain.

Now, I’m embracing pain.  This is because I know it will get me closer to my goal (meeting my baby).  It goes without saying that birth can be a somewhat painful process for most people.   So, as one gets closer to the process, a certain amount of surrender to pain needs to occur.

With each cramp, each painful movement, each strain, etc. it brings me closer to my goal.  Shifting from fear to change means accepting what’s to come and welcoming growth.

Stage 5 in SRI (book: 12 stages of healing) is about merging beyond the illusion.  The illusion is a wall or something created by your mind.  You need to go through the illusion to embrace what’s on the other side.  The illusion that my mind created was that pain is separate from growth whereas, the reality is that pain is a part of it.  This isn’t just in childbirth.  It occurs throughout life.  

Is there pain when starting a new exercise regimen after not working out for a while?  Is there pain in making a commitment to improve your diet when you need to give up a lot of what you’ve been eating before?  Is there pain when ending a relationship or job for the opportunities of a new one?

Pain is not separate from life.  It is a part of it.  When we embrace it, learn through it and grow, we shift from fear to change.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"I barely have the words to thank you for the pos­i­tive changes you have facil­i­tated in my phys­i­cal health and well being. When I started, I was stressed and expe­ri­enc­ing ower back pain and mobil­ity issues. In the past three months I have expe­ri­enced com­plete relax­ation at your warm and skilled hands and learned to carry this feel­ing through to my day to day life.  You have taken me from a life­long habit of worry and anx­i­ety to a far more bal­anced place of calm and under­stand­ing. You are truly a gift, Dr. Amanda. Thanks so much for your care and your gift of heal­ing."
