The act of healing is expansive, whereas fear is constrictive. When muscles and areas of the body contract or receive injury, pain is felt or created. How do we respond to pain; as a wake-up call to expand, or with fearful thoughts that cause greater contraction? Healing is an act of revealing the truth, and the truth always sets us free. Pain is either our ally, telling us where we need to expand and bring in the light of truth, or we view it as our fearful enemy, here to bring us down.http://wp.patheos.com.s3.amazonaws.com/blogs/revealingyourluminessence/files/2013/06/Chartres-crypt-entrance-7jun13-300x213.jpg
