There's no way around it; hurt and resentment have detrimental effects on our mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. 'Tis the season to explore options for moving forward, toward personal transformation through acceptance and empathy. Especially when the resentment is toward the Creator, the universe or fortune, the process of "feel it to heal it" can be especially daunting. There is a well paved path to harmony with others and ourselves as outlined by the Kabbalists, and this week we are given the energy and opportunities for release and relief from old wounds and grudges.

Pain is generally perceived as a negative experience, when kabbalistically it is regarded as positive and purposeful. This week learn why pain exists and what it can indicate, and discover ways to use it to your benefit. Once you have a better understanding of pain, then you can see it for what it truly is... an opportunity for growth.
