Pain
For some time I had problems with the neck spine. To top it all came a few weeks ago yet added a mid-heavy whiplash. For ease my pain I envisioned a seasoned, finely annoying Osteopath, should convey to its proper place me with a few magic attacks, something that I felt was blocked and slipped again.
This gentleman I was then, and as expected, he expressed at two points behind both ears, and put my neck still plagued each one slowly to the right and to the left - and great! My radius increased significantly together with a sense of unblocking. I was on the right track.
Yesterday I made a mistake. A friend offered me in exchange for their proven pleasure in a massage. Actually, I should have known it: You should not let in massage of lay people in a healing process itself, especially not in the delicate cervical spine.
This morning went nothing more. Evil pain joined to a complete blockade, and I even found some rising temperature. Crap! I should have said time is "no". Lunch then came an unexpected call from a distant acquaintance, each of surprising reports at irregular intervals and with all sorts of entertaining topics of moderate to high importance explosive takes my attention for at least an hour to complete. This friendly gentleman turned out to be my salvation, for he drew my attention quite loose on other topics - my HWS got relief - of my attention, and so did the pain after.
I took that as an opportunity once again on the subject of "pain" thinking: Surely every man falls in the course of his life experience as a human being, that pain becomes unbearable to the extent that we focus exclusively on them. Conversely, the more deflection you, for example, prescribed for headache, migraines and other Miss sensibilities, the better! Personally, I have discovered, for example, gardening or walking against pain or down-being as effective.
So many people, so many tricks. Some do it like this, like a computer screen: Click on the pain, as a symbol of their screen saver and move this far to the edge in some corner and park it there. This course can not be achieved only with pain, but with any other content of consciousness, for example, also the bad conscience, an emerging memory etc.
A few months ago had told a young woman with something interesting so far confirmed my observations: It works occasionally as a fashion designer on film sets and gets there so much with. It was a serious injury to his arm emery technically prepared on one occasion and for that first used a test subject before the actual actor's injury should be "added". The make-up technician so conducted a test run in a "guinea pig" by and fabricated him a gash on his arm.
The subject was now at a certain point of the exercise adamant that the crew had gone too far and her skin was injured, because it presented a lot of pain! Also when removing the dummy injury "autschte" the subject, for she was convinced that her skin was torn. Well, as we can imagine, it was nothing of the case. The pain was conceited!
Then, when the actor's "injury" was taught for the actual movie recording, also presented a pain for him! He was also adamant that they had gone too far and would have stabbed him in the arm ...
Some time ago I had read an Englishwoman in the sun, the Daily Mail dozing on a lounger on the beach look - not normally my often drawn to rate information. However, I deciphered by far the heading "Beat pain with the power of positive thought" (pain fight with the power of positive thinking), therefore waited until the lady left the beach and scooped up the dog-eared sheet on.
The report by the Daily Mail went to a pilot study using a new generation of MRI scanners (magnetic resonance imaging). In patients with chronic pain conditions such as back pain and neuralgia, nerve pain and migraines, the brain was studied by using MRI scanners and it depicted the blood flow in pain relevant brain regions on a monitor. Patients were handed out for the experiment special glasses, which constitute the blood stream as flame. The greater the flow of blood, the greater the pain, the greater the flame. Next, the patients were encouraged to reduce the flame in that it is a holiday or imagine something else concentrated (distraction!), For example, as the flame with a bucket of water or deleted as the affected brain area treated with strong pain medications would. The theoretical question was whether a patient, in that he sees the size of the flame is reduced pain by his thinking, can learn to control his pain using the techniques learned.
The results of the pilot study showed an approximately 64% reduction of pain after application of the therapy described. "This is the first clinical application of this new technology that allows people to watch their own brain at work and to learn to control it." (Dr. John Hawkinson, vice president of the American company "Omneuron", which the study in collaboration with Stanford University conducted.)
The article also announced the launch of a new clinical study with 144 patients and at the same time raised the question whether the new technology could potentially be successful in other conditions such as depression or drug addiction.
The results of the study make us realize what we actually already knew: namely, how powerful our thinking is, and how can we enforce a purposeful steering of our consciousness, things move and change or even cause them to disappear. For everything that exists and wants to be perceived, needs our attention, just our conscious-ness.
The awareness exercises described on the topic of pain clarifies not complete the question, what pain actually is, because the actual or perceived cause of the pain persisted even further also in patients in the pilot study.
We are the secret of "pain" certainly can not completely revealed at this point. Only so much should be added: Pain is also learned and is eg always in a cultural and situational context. This became clear to me as I watched for a long time a sometimes exhausted young mother and her extremely lively, one and a half year-old daughter: The girl was extremely reckless and motor relative to peers very far forward. However, they could easily climb due to their small body size, disability through their Windelpopo and their somewhat short, typical for the age O-leg not all things, eg a high slide. Therefore, the girl had developed in their conquest urge a special climbing techniques: She put her little Schmerbäuchlein on a rung of the ladder to the slide, balanced, and then grabbed abruptly the next higher rung of the ladder, to then klimmzugartig, groaning hochzuwuchten with the legs on. These physical conditions not infrequently led to some Abrutschern and crashes. Then the girl sitting near mother threw quickly to a look to see how bad his fall was evaluate. It basically asked from a "pain scale". The somewhat exhausted mother, however, was out for a quite, on the other hand they did not want a "big theater" and therefore looked just compassionate but neutral to boot. It was then for the confirmation Small enough to realize that everything was not so bad and basically equal to venture a new climbing attempt.
A similar situation I experienced, as the girl described himself enthusiastically threw down a small slide for children in the children's pool in a swimming pool for the first time. His enthusiasm and his inexperience did it end up under water, but of course immediately reappear where it was greeted by the beaming face of his mother, which - again - do not feel like a "big theater" had. The little so took the whole is more than an educational encounter with the wet element true and less than one-threatening painful incident.
For the account of the listed "experiments" might anxious readers should be noted that the said parent educator and kindergarten teacher. Therefore, when climbing it is one of the basic rules, basically not to help the children up so that they themselves realistic gain insight into their respective capabilities, and so it does not just come to falls from a height, which could be dangerous.
If so the mother did not prudent reacts with the small Abrutschern and crashes, but with panic and would have caused jumped to comfort and speak Heal-Heal-blessing, the child had known the next "time" where the pain would be to because it would be almost sure "rewarded" with additional attention has been ...
Pain is a very complex process, which is energy in the form of awareness not only needed, but also learns differently, and may be different from the encounter!
Basically the same thing for pain, which also applies to many other mentals or states of consciousness such as sadness, happiness, suffering, deprivation feelings, elation, sadness, happiness, etc.: We can "feed" our attention or by withdrawal of attention to shrink or even cause them to disappear.
