This call is about releasing pain and leaning into spirituality. The caller, Mel, is asking the existential questions about the purpose of life and why we are here. Many people ask themselves these same questions and it is important for us all to discover our own spiritual path and beliefs. If we believe that our soul traverses multiple lifetimes, part of the reason we come back is to evolve out of pain.

A lot of spiritual experiences actually provide the answers to those existential questions and they happen after a big emotional release of some kind.

We spend so much energy suppressing our pain when actually feeling it, healing it, and releasing it is the doorway into the spiritual experiences that answer the question of why the pain is there in the first place. Pain takes a lot of energy to suppress and reinforces the illusion that we are meant to suffer.

If you are suppressing your pain, it’s like being in a dark room with all the curtains closed. There are sunshine and light out in the world but you are not aware of it because you are in the darkness of your own shame and pain. How we start to let the light in and open the curtains is to start processing our pain.

Sometimes we get way too complicated about ‘what’s our purpose?’ and ‘why are we here?’ What if it is just as simple as to enjoy being in a human body and to evolve our consciousness?

Leaps of faith often involve a little bit of a freefall. The only way to experience the sweetness of surrender is to fully let go.
