She Left Trauma – and Chronic Pain – in Her Past

Summary

Suffering from chronic nerve and pelvic pain since 2008 with multiple surgeries, unsuccessful medications, and no definitive diagnosis, this 49-year-old Pakistani woman discovered through daily meditation that her physical pain wasn't illness but decades of unprocessed childhood trauma she'd been carrying. After nearly 25 years of being too afraid to return to Pakistan due to painful memories, her meditation practice gave her courage to travel home last month where standing at her mother's grave (lost in 2000), she forgave herself and her mother, finally feeling the love she'd been missing her whole life while walking around numb and angry. The physical relief during meditation was extraordinary, but the real transformation was becoming whole, opening her heart, feeling compassion, and restoring her relationship with her father.
