Researcher Candace Pert wrote a book called ‘Molecules of Emotion‘ in which she presents her findings that every emotional experience produces specific protein sequences in our body.  These are reproducible and she called them molecules of emotion.  This is important to know in relation to the dis-ease process.  We are naturally emotional beings and we’re supposed to have a physiological reaction to an emotional situation.  The problem arises when we have abnormal physiological reactions to ‘emotional triggers.’  I’ll leave this discussion for another post…

If you’ve seen any yogi walk over hot coals or lie on a bed of glass unharmed, you’re witnessing the power of the mind over the physiological reaction of pain.  Basic neurology shows us that we can consciously send signals to interfere or block the pain response.  This is all fine and dandy, but how can the average person ‘develop’ this untapped skill you may be asking?

During our first pregnancy, my wife and I studied a birthing technique called Hypnobabies in which through various mind focus methods you are able to cut off the pain signal.  It’s essential that both partners be trained in this because dads go through pain as well, not the same pain, but we have our own.  But the basics of what they teach can be used in an everyday situation.

Okay…here’s what I teach patients:

1. You must begin with practice…practicing to quiet your mind.  The best way to do this is to focus on a single object and concentrate on slowing down the brain.  At first it will be difficult.  But you’ll know when you reach that ’state’ because it’s like you’re in between being awake and sleeping.
2. Now focus on what you want…say if you have back pain…focus on your back being totally healed.  This must be an intense focus.  One way you can increase your focus is to use a technique called WORKSHOP.  In this technique you visualize a room that has every thing you need to heal your body.  When I say anything, I mean anything.  You can conjure up various things that you put into a cream that you rub on the affected area or make it into a pill you take.  This is highly effective.
3. Now you have to be conscious of the words you speak in regards to your health.  Phrases like ‘oh I just ache all over’ or ‘I’m tired’ will translate into their physical manifestation.  Rather than expressing your current experience, replace it with what you would like to experience.  Let that become your reality.

Learn to control your mind and experience greater possibilities.  Be Well!
