The mind responds to pain by searching for meaning. Human beings can tolerate tremendous pain if they feel they can understand, even partially, why they are going through it. But we are not only minds. We are souls living in bodies. The mind speaks the language of ideas, while the body speaks the language of experience. That is why healing requires more than insight. Once life becomes stable and safe again, it is important to seek out experiences that nourish the body: rest, movement, connection, beauty, and joy. Healing is not only about understanding life. It is also about learning how to fully live it. #healing #selfawareness #spiritualgrowth #mindbodyconnection #jewishwisdom
