pain and sickness

hi group, ;)

i'd love everyone is having a blessed day. when i talk to my clients about pain or suffering i don't forget to include, "now you know your pain, tell it to be silent." check out 71st verse of tao below and please! let me know what you think. ;)

deeply,
molado

71st verse of tao te ching

Knowing ignorance is strength.
Ignoring knowledge is sickness.

Only when we are sick of our sickness
shall we cease to be sick.
The sage is not sick but is sick of sickness;
this is the secret of health.

For every one of them that has become well, there has been a point at which they made a decision to be well or healed. Every one of them has had an epiphany that they were tired of being sick and were dedicated to being well. I do not see that same turning point in people who continue to remain ill.; ▶ Reply to This

what a great point and very significant to note since you are talking about "every one of them." i think this is a great area to explore and even can be systematized in dealing with clients with chronic illnesses. who knew, 2,500 year old teaching can be applied to hypnotherapy. ;) thank you for your input. this is what the Sage group is all about. ;)
