About this Quote

This quote by Christy Turlington talks to the idea of accepting pain and not withstanding it. She recommends that by breathing with the contractions and not pressing versus them, she felt much better. This concept of going towards pain instead of withstanding it is a spiritual practice. It is a way of accepting the discomfort and permitting it to pass through us, rather than attempting to eliminate it. This practice can be seen in numerous spiritual customs, such as Buddhism and yoga. By accepting discomfort, we can learn to be more present and mindful in our lives. We can learn to be more accepting of our emotions and experiences, and to be more caring towards ourselves and others. This spiritual practice of accepting pain can assist us to end up being more connected to ourselves and to the world around us.
