The purpose of this blog is to give you the reader some meditations and visualizations for you to use for pain and stress management. I've used these meditations myself for many years. I'll tell you a story to illustrate this point:
Many years ago, I had an "impacted wisdom tooth". My former dentist wanted me to have an oral surgeon remove it which would have meant more expense and post-op pain. It also would have meant having to possibly take stronger painkillers (which I didn't want to do since I have a family history of prescription drug abuse and addictions). So what was I going to do to solve this problem? Whenever I felt it pushing against my jaw I would picture it coming in smoothly without any problems. I also used a mantra. I would chant (either silently or out loud), "Go Ahead, Go Ahead, Go Ahead, Go Ahead, Go Ahead That's It! I also used a lot of Lamaze Breathing patterns at times because it would be painful sometimes. Well, anyway, the results were positve and my dentist was able to remove it and the only painkiller that I needed afterwords was a couple of Tylonol. Now bear in mind that this process took a couple of years to complete. It didn't just happen overnight. But I kept at it. And if you want something bad enough you can do it too.
Well, that's it for tonight. Tomorrow I'll give you a few tips on how to get started.
