Ask the Angels: Why Am I in Pain? Pain is a difficult part of life, whether it’s physical, mental, or both. When you are hurting, it’s nearly impossible to shift your beliefs away from “This is terrible; this must stop.” But in this week’s column, that’s exactly what the angels tell you that you must do: shift your perspective and come to understand pain from a soul level. From the level of the soul, all pain is temporary and all pain has a purpose. To transcend your pain you must be able to experience this as truth. While this shift is important, it’s also fair to acknowledge that we do live in physical bodies that need care. You must learn to nourish your body, not just with vibrant living foods but with love, light, and positivity. When you listen to your body, whether it’s currently healthy or experiencing pain, you serve your highest self. “My husband lives in chronic pain. What is the angels’ point of view on pain, and why some suffer so?” – Cathleen Response f
