P.S. Why do we doubt this? From personal experience it is

sometimes extremely difficult to think of God when I am in the throes of

pain

 

 

Dear GeorgeSon ~ I must have someone missed this post, for surely I would

have responded to it. I have Fibromyalgia, which means I am in chronic pain to

one degree or another most of the time. I also have Irritable Bowel Syndrome

and just found out yesterday I have to have another colonoscopy. This morning

I woke up in the throes of emotional pain over my family and the way they

have behaved to me.

 

I don't know why I can't get this out of my heart and mind, but it plays

like a record, over and over. I won't go into details, just that promises were

made that caused me to leave my home in Maryland and move to Oregon to live

with my mother, as I was very sick, and then they were taken away. I don't know

which is worse, the emotional pain or the physical pain and discomfort. But I

do know that, for some reason, as I have become more involved with this

digest, with the prayer seva, with meditation and saying my mantra, the level

of

pain I experience has gone from about a 7 to 8 (on a scale of 1 - 10) to a 4

or less. To me this is nothing short of a miracle.

 

This morning when I woke up and lay in bed thinking about my mother and

feeling sick at heart and to my stomach, finally the only thing I could think of

was to say my mantra. Get those negative thoughts out of my mind with the

positive thoughts of my mantra. I don't know if this is any help to you, but

when I saw someone had responded to your post, I wanted to respond also. May

you

be free from your pain. Blessings ~ Linda
