Today's Message: The Answers Lie Within.
My therapist has finally helped me realize that the answer to my physical pain lies within me not outside me. Over the last eight years, I have sought various answers to my physical pain;  looking to doctors and various medical treatments and alternative medicine for relief.  Although some of it has helped temporarily, it keeps returning. Somehow, the emotions that accompanied the pain have been stuffed inside and will not let go. So now I am trying to release the emotions so the physical pain will also release. As a massage therapist, I understand how the body stores trauma but I had not realized the reason for mine. Now that I have, I hope that I can release it and the physical pain will finally abate. It has been a long struggle to uncover the source and it isn't over yet. Marilyn Dixon Pfanstiel

"That Enlightening Moment" by Warren Redman:
"I recalled a moment right in the middle of one coaching session I had with a young man who is having the hardest time in his
life right now. He suddenly stopped in mid-sentence, looked intently at me and said "you know, I am just realizing that I
have all the answers within myself. You have told me nothing, but you have shown me my own strengths. You are a wise man.
Nobody has ever shown me who I am." 
Warren Redman runs the Centre for Inner Balancing, offering Emotional Fitness courses. You can find him and his latest book
