How can pain be a teacher for personal growth?
I hate myself. I hate myself for having this disability. I hate myself for who I am. I think that I'm bad. I think that I'm guilty and broken. I feel so much pain in my body. I went after that with emotional healing, subconscious healing, and then energetic healing. And when I finally started to love myself again, all the pain went away in my body. That pain is teaching you something. It's bringing you somewhere. Whatever happens, it's going to be all right. Even if the worst thing happens, you're going to make it through. And so just allowing yourself to do that settles the inflammation in your mind, which lowers the inflammation in your body. We feel disconnected from our higher self. And that's what's bringing in so much fear.
We're living within the programs that we've created. And once we kind of lower the friction of that and emotionally regulate, you can overcome any obstacle. You're a small shift away from everything that you do. to make it an exciting life that is in alignment versus a life of struggle that things are happening to you. Something very specific around getting over the pain that you're in is to recognize that
welcome back to the healing and human potential podcast where today we're talking about trusting life's timelines shifting from our unconscious thought patterns for emotional well-being and how the spiritual context of life can support us in challenging times around our relationships business and health we're joined by jim curtis who's an author speaker hypnotist and leader in national organizations like webmd and he's here to share with us practical insights and tools including a self-hypnosis journey that you can listen to on the podcast So let's dive into it. I'm so happy that you're here, Jim, and it's so beautiful to connect with you. And I wanted just to dive right in. I know that you've talked about that you can be in the right place at the right time and it doesn't feel like that. And I think a lot of people feel disoriented in their life. What did you mean by that?
You can be in the right place at the right time and it doesn't feel like it. And how did you come to this?
Yeah, I love diving right in. We're going deep quickly, right?
That's how I like it.
That's how I like it too. So, okay, you're in the perfect place at the perfect time. It may not feel perfect, right? Because it couldn't be any other time. It couldn't be any other place or else you'd be there. And therefore, you are exactly where you need to be. And even if it's painful, right? A lot of us are experiencing a lot of pain, whether we start to think that we've done something wrong and it's not right. And therefore, we start to either feel guilty or shameful or something happening. We're like, this shouldn't be happening to me because I shouldn't experience this illness or this breakup or this financial crush. And how could I be at the perfect place at the perfect time? People came at me when I gave that TED Talk. And I'm like, guess what? Because you can't be anywhere else. And so this is the perfect place at the perfect time, even if it doesn't feel perfect, because that pain is teaching you something. It's bringing you somewhere. It's something, your higher self, your soul, that connection. You are the energy of the universe, and it needs to learn something.
Yeah, I love the term earth school. It's like there's feedback in all of it, and there are deeper lessons in who we become in the process of Answering the call. And what I hear you say around the perfect time, it's like, there's nothing else true other than what's being projected in your mind. And so this is to trust the intelligence that holds the stars in the sky is also orchestrating your life.
Yes. Yes. It's the second part of it. There's a little bit of, you know, trust the process and it's earth school. And guess what? The curriculum is difficult.
You also talk about synchronicities. And I think of synchronicities as a little wink from the universe, like keep going in that direction. Talk to us about if there was maybe a sign that came into your life that changed the direction that you thought you were going in or how people can trust the synchronicities that come into their life, some guidance.
