Thank you, Open. I'm receiving your messages with gratitude. Today's (re)post seems especially timely and I'm accepting your invitation to share my current challenge... what I'm dealing with right now.

Today it's the 'pain' of following my intuition, my soul's calling to be my authentic self. To summon the courage to do what I know is in my best interest. To examine, embrace and release old thought patterns and conditioned and reactive behaviors. 

The 'pain' feels grinding and raw. Like beginning to turn a wheel that has seized or been locked or rusted into place from disuse. I realize it's a temporary pain. As the wheel starts to turn, I believe the pain will lose it's edge and transform into easier, more fluid movement carrying me forward. A more natural flow and on a path that is truly meant for me. The difficulty lies in the beginning. In learning to move in more innate, natural ways after being frozen and stuck in habituated postures for so long.

I know the discomfort is temporary and will subside as I gain momentum.
