Now, envision light flooding through and saturating the pain holes. See the light surrounding and covering your wounds with love. You are being filled with the warmth of light and love, which causes the holes to glow. Picture in your mind the light chasing away the darkness -your pain. What was once a painful wound is now a point of entrance. Imagine the potential for positive purpose in these openings. The space allows for love to enter more easily. When you shine a light of love through the holes you’re able to see inside. When you look within, what you find can begin to make up for what was lost.
Visualize yourself, with your holes exposed, illuminated from the inside out. See the light pouring through the openings of your heart. This allows you to easily peer inside yourself and find new depths of you. You’re now able to discover some insight and knowledge about yourself you otherwise couldn’t find. Perhaps you find a new appreciation for yourself, gratitude for your friends and family, or confidence in what you want in a partner. There’s a positive purpose to pain. Without the holes you wouldn’t be able to learn the lessons from deep within.
It takes courage to face your pain head on and acknowledge the emptiness it leaves behind. But it takes even more courage to look inside those wounds to find the inner light. The more you can begin to look at pain as a lesson you’ve gained, the more you can look at loss in your life as a chance to find you. After some time passes, the pain begins to fade and the wounds begin to heal. But you’ll always keep the knowledge you’ve found.
