Chronic Pain

Mind over matter You don’t mind, it don’t matter

In the case of chronic pain, especially if one does not obtain relief from medication, it is time to use the power of mind, the power of suggestion. By placing your attention on something else, pain will be reduced. I have tried this in cases when I stub my toe, for instance. First it hurts, I am in PAIN. Then I remember, “if I change my thought, the pain will lessen” and it does! Granted this example is not one of chronic pain, but may I suggest that the same principal applies. Details in a great book titled Full Catastrophe living by Jon Kabat-Zinn
