When your muscles burn and cramp, we take it as a sign of strengthening. It's clear to us that grow is happening. Remember that your heart is a muscle too. If it's hurting you I can bet that you're growing. Try not to resist the feelings, even though they're painful. See if u can allow the pain to open your heart rather than harden it. Soon the burning part will be over, and you'll have that much more strength, compassion and love to draw from. Maybe you can even smile to yourself just a little bit, even if you are in the "belly" or your pain. Sometimes is coming something is being birthed. If you want to be happy, love is the currency, and this is the "blood,sweat and tears" part. You can do it.
