Are you mad at your vulva?
The frustration and anger that can build in the face of enduring Vulvodynia is the real deal. These emotions are a normal part of dealing with a chronic pain condition and you have the right to feel them fully.
It's very important to create space for these emotions to come up and out so they may be released from your body. Held anger keeps you stuck in the past and creates illness, resentment and stress all of which exacerbate pain.
Your nervous system runs the show in the face of chronic pain. Mindfulness is a fast acting way to calm your nervous system and dial back the fight or flight response. Use this meditation to activate your relaxation response and make space for yourself to feel, so that you can heal!
Take home affirmations:
* I allow myself to heal
* I release the need to feel angry
* I choose how I react
* I choose compassion & peace
