The Pain Paradox: How Pain Can Lead to Inner Peace and Lightness of Being
What if pain, depression, and disease weren't the enemy but the path to self-knowledge, purpose, and harmony?
What if they were the key to becoming more alive, more passionately engaged, and more connected?
What if you could thrive, not despite emotional and physical suffering, but because of it?
The Pain Paradox is the story of one Chinese Medicine practitioner’s search for the root cause of her patients’ puzzling maladies. Catherine Rolt finds surprising links between long-term conditions, chronic ailments, catastrophic illnesses, and our relationships in the past and present. Pain, she discovers, is often an overriding mechanism that propels us to return to the scene of unfinished business within ourselves before our healing can begin, before we can become who we are meant to become.The Western world often ignores, denies, or punishes dis-ease because it equates it with weakness and a lack of control. But frustration and pain are natural, cyclical, and purposeful – not a cause for shame. Only by experiencing each cycle of discomfort – not avoiding them – do we master our spirits and energetic systems.
Learning to listen to everything your mental, physical and emotional body is showing you through dis-ease will allow you to positively transform your energy and bring you home to yourself.“A timely and welcome reminder of the power, strength and sheer energy of the natural order”Richard Bellman
“Catherine Rolt is a rare breed of practitioner who understands that our most painful trials can turn into our biggest triumphs”Denise Stevenson
