Agony to OMG – Pain Became My Teacher

I was awake at 4:00 a.m. with piercing pain in my belly. I rushed to the ER, [ thought I was gonna die]. The scan showed two large, thorny kidney stones. Much too big to pass on their own. Surgery was required. But I had to wait two months for a room.

So… what do you do when you’re in pain and there’s no quick fix?

You slow down. You listen. You learn to nurture your body more, especially when it’s hurting. Hot salt baths and red light therapy. Breathe deep and ride the waves. That’s what I did.

One night, while curled up in a ball, groaning in a raw, intuitive response. Letting my body guide me. I moaned into the pain. I gave it sound, space, breath, presence and patience. And slowly, the energy shifted. Something unexpected happened.

I unlocked the pain. And entered an inner calm I’ve never felt before.

And in that stillness… a portal opened.

The pain transformed. Not just into relief, but into an energy that ignited me.

A soothing sensation rippled through my belly and gently up my body.
It felt like grace. It lingered long in a satisfying afterglow.
A blessing I now want to share and explore with others.

I realized that the same practices I’ve used to expand pleasure—breath, voice, movement, presence—also carried me through pain.

Not just to mask the pain. But to transform it into something I could embrace and be OK with.

I uncovered a brighter me. Lighter. Clearer. More aware…

And with a message:

There is wisdom in pain, when we stop resisting.

There is healing in the pain, when we embrace it.

And there is pleasure with profound energy when we release tension and blocks.

Since then I’ve become more attuned to my body in soft, subtle ways that are rich and juicy in a way that leaves me feeling joyful. I want to explore this part of me with those of you who can relate or want to explore your ecstasy.

Are you ready to Transform blocks into bridges–to freedom!
