I truly honour and treasure the pain and resistances I still carry that are shining a light onto what I need to see and realise about to be free.

To me pain makes pearls:

Since I’m better at not judging myself and feeling less shame about the pain I find through certain situation that challenge me, I suffer less. And on top of that i find the treasure of liberation just staying in the pain without moving or doing anything, simply observing and breathing through it.

It feels to me as a win win situation!

Not only I feel less and less pain just recognising and accepting my resistances, I also find the way to the pearl just staying with them!

Like the mechanism through which an oyster creates the pearl because it resists an external body into its system: the cells of its “nacre” (inner-shell) cover the foreign, unwanted substance with layers to “protect”, creating the precious gem.

An oyster that hasn’t being wounded or triggered, doesn’t produce treasures inside.

A pearl, in this sense, is a healed wound.

Beauty can come from deep suffering that becomes integrated in the system through a natural process of self-acceptance and auto-regulation, just like gems into shells.
