Do you ever want to wail like a baby? One giant gasp of air followed by a wail so powerful you collapse to your knees doubled over in agony. Your face turns a dark purplish-blue, while your mouth opens as wide as the chasm you feel in your soul. Like a powerful compactor, your entire body contracts and squeezes out every last ounce of air stored inside your lungs. Right before you nearly pass out, when you have expressed the last ounce of breath inside you... The inhale!
You have spent a lifetime stuffing your emotions, wrapping them up in blankets, concealing them in the deepest, darkest recesses of your heart. Once you placed them right where you wanted them, you boarded up and plastered over the walls so no one could see the carcasses of pain hidden deep within. The irony? The life you are currently living is a direct reflection of that buried pain. All the times you've felt unappreciated, unworthy, lonely, or not enough, it's all a reflection of your pain.
It's time to break free from the cage of pain that has enslaved you for far too long so you can soar on the wings of peace. In the first book of the Pain to Peace series, Dr. Miller-Jentes illustrates her journey and the life principles, thought provoking questions, and activities that helped her process her pain and journey towards peace.
