Be Free from Pain; It’s All in Your Head!

Overcome pain without medication: It is all in your head.  Originally

A man thinks and so he is.

If you suffer from chronic pain this is for you. If you have a large
bottle of Ibuprofen and a Maalox chaser on your desk at work, on your
coffee table at home and in your car then this is for you. Have you
been prescribed heavy duty pain pills that make you unable to drive or
work or enjoy your life? Then this may be able to help you.  You have
repeatedly seen doctors and nothing is seriously wrong with you other
than this horrible pain that will not leave you alone. You may have
become depressed or had relationship problems due to your chronic
pain.  You have found your hope and your help.
I had never been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure but as it turns
out my head hurts when I get to 136/90. This is in the normal range
but for me it produces headaches. Also I am very sensitive to salt.
Salt makes my blood pressure go up and gives me a headache.

This discovery eliminated 20% of headaches.

So make sure that you do not have high blood pressure, diabetes or any
other conditions that could cause headaches. If you have been through
the whole doctor experience and are left with just a drawer full of
pain killers and still have pain then you have found your relief.
The first thing that you need to do is realize that you can control
your pain. Stay with me here. Yes, I am saying that the pain in your
head is in your head. “Yes, it is in my head that is where it hurts”
you say. But what I am saying is that it is in your head.  Not that
you are imagining it. Your pain is real enough but your mind can
control your pain in fact it may be causing your pain. Why do I know
this? I have lived it and recovered from 45 years of debilitating
migraine headaches. Most migraine sufferers will tell you that the
medicine does not really work it just dulls it or makes you unconscious.

All pain killers have major side effects that can cause
more pain and even death. I challenge you to go on the website of your
pain medications and find out what the side effects are. Chances are
one of the side effects are headaches. I was told this but did not
believe it until I looked it up for myself. My head ache medicine was
causing my head aches. After this discovery I felt that I had no
choice but to find an alternative to medication to deal with my pain.
My sister in law recently passed away from what the doctors considered
a pain medicine over dose. The dose in her system was well within the
recommended dosage and she did not survive it. So, remember that
doctor’s medications are not always right for everyone. Another example of doctors
meaning well but being wrong is our friend David Davidson. He was hit
by a car doing a good deed and was told that he would be a
quadriplegic. I saw him 5 years ago and he had a ventilator to breath
and no movement in his arms or legs but he believed God not the
Doctors and he walked through my door last week with full movement and
his mind intact. Greater challenges than pain have been overcome with
the mind and prayer.
 “Sounds good but how do you do it?” Let’s get to the details. You
have two sides to your pain: dealing with the pain itself and then
separately the prevention of it. We will start with the pain itself
and then go to the prevention since you may be in pain right now.
Step one: accepting and realizing that you control your pain. Your
mind and your thoughts can start and stop your pain. Proverbs 23:7 “A
man thinks and so he is.” In other words what you think you are and
what you think you will become you will become.

Step two: Realize that you have 2 minds: The Natural and the
Spiritual. Your Natural is the physical body and your most basic
nature. Freud called it the Id. Your Id wants to control everything.
Think of a 2 year old. She wants what she wants and she wants it now.
She will bite and scratch and cry and do whatever she can think of to
get what she wants. This is how our Id really wants to behave. Our
Spiritual Mind is pure love and is what God sees in us. It is all that
is calm and good and true in us. It is quiet and secure and
comfortable because your spirit is still connected with the creator.
Our Natural (Logical) mind tries to drown out the Natural Mind to gain
complete control. It wants all the attention and doesn’t want to give
or help anyone but itself. Your charity and caring for others comes
from your Spiritual Mind.
Your Spiritual Mind has the ability to watch the Natural Mind and the
Natural Body. To access this Spiritual Mind is simple but takes a
little practice. The Spiritual Mind lives only in the Present Moment.
Take a moment to do an exercise. Focus on this present moment the
point between past and future. This is difficult at first because most
of us have not been taught anything about the present. We have been
taught to live in memories about the past and fears or hopes for the
future. Let us focus on the present, no fretting about the past and no
worrying about the future. You will realize that in the exact present
moment nothing is wrong, everything feels fine and you are at ease.
This happens because you are accessing your Spiritual Self. You are
your Spiritual Self in the Present moment.  Just like God has no past
or future he just is. So is your Spirit. It knows no time. Only your
Natural self knows time. Your Spiritual Self feels no pain. Now as
your Spiritual Self in the present moment you have no stress, no
problems, and no pain, everything is as it is meant to be.  Your
Spiritual Self watches the Natural self and watches the pain body. One
of the methods of the Natural Self to gain all control is through
pain.
Step 3: As your Spiritual Self watches the pain in your Natural self
your pain will dissipate and disappear. Focus your Spiritual mind’s
eye on the pain. Where is the pain in your body? If it is in your head
then where exactly is it? With your eyes closed focus your Spiritual
Mind’s eye on the pain until you pin point it. One you see it let it
be what it wants to be but let it know that you see it. “ I can see
you “ I say to it. It is like a child who steals a cookie it doesn’t
want to be caught and looked upon. Do not judge the pain simply watch it do what it is doing.

After a few moments of watching the
pain it will dissipate and disappear.  Your pain will disappear like
it was never there. You will feel a lightness, a sense of quiet
Euphoria and you will know that your pain is gone.
It may come back a few seconds later. Remember that the Natural Mind
is nothing more than the 2 year old, that “Id” part of you. Any mother
knows that 2 year olds do not give up control easily until they
realize that there is no point. I really believed that my Mom had eyes
in the back of her head when I was little. It became pointless because
I knew she could somehow see me. Watch the Natural Pain Body like a 2
year old having a tantrum. You will stay quiet and calm simply
watching until she gives up and quits.  You may need to repeat this
focus step many times at first. You will be able to locate the pain
quicker as you practice. Eventually your pain will give up and leave
you alone altogether. Using this method I have not had a headache now
in 4 years.(reposting this it now has been twelve years of zero headaches!)

At first I had to use it all day for the first week or
two. Then as I grew more confident that I could get rid of the pain it
became less frequent. Eventually I would laugh at it and tell it with
joy that I saw it and poof it would disappear. This took about a
couple of months and together with prevention steps that I still
practice to this day I have been 100% head ache free for 4 years this
September. (Make that 12)

a happy pain free day!
