Gratitude is a powerful remedy to tension induced pain

Gratitude is a powerful remedy to tension induced pain!
One of the basic principles in healing from tension induced pain is recognizing that your pain is your Signal to become aware of how you are being and then to investigate how you are being instead of thinking--what is wrong with me now and who is going to fix this pain. This is "think psychologically" vs injury think.



a key component of this certain way of thinking is to be sincerely grateful for this signal. the key is "sincere". saying to your self, "thank you for reminding me to be present/aware" with true gratefulness is a powerful communication to the pain disorder that you truly do accept that this is a mental/emotional pain disorder and the cause is Your repressed emotional energy and not a muscle imbalance or disc problem or nerve damage or over-training injury.



the number of inquiries I get about this is crazy. "do i really have to be grateful for the pain"...my response is always the same...if you accept the real cause of this disorder and if you accept that someone or thing "out there" is not going to fix you...then the absolute best way to communicate this to your self and this pain strategy is to be truly grateful....i am saying this... vs just mouthing the words to your self with no integrity because you read in a book that is what you are suppose to do. this mouthing/repeating of words will get you nothing.



this is a huge deal, not a little one. be grateful because you understand the workings of this disorder....then the inner working of this disorder will begin to guide you away from the pain and into a deeper meaning.


Bless your difficulties and ask to see their hidden guidance. Caroline Myss

Change

Change...absolutely the #1 Reason people with tension induced pain are still experiencing pain.

They are afraid of the changes they must make in their life in order to heal.

When someone is afraid to change a couple of things happen.
--they remain stagnant/passive hoping somehow this will just go away.

or they go into major fix it mode hoping/searchng for someone to fix them so that they don't have to change.

Realize that what you want is to be fixed, the pain to go away, as long as you don't have to change!

That's not going to happen with this disorder. It's Not!

Today you can start changing your thts...When you catch yourself complaining or judging---Stop and have the intention not to judge/complain.

When you catch yourself in worry mode...Stop make the choice to leave the worry behind and get into present moment thinking/action.

Whenever you find your mind in the past...bring it back to now.
In the future...bring it back to now.

Do you think these little changes are no Big deal? They are Huge! Really Huge!

Maybe you read that sarno says you don't/can't change you personality? that is correct. you are not going to change your personality, but you can change your repressing thought patterns. you can change your repressing thts that are in the past and in the future. you can bring your attention/focus back to the present moment, which is the only place you can heal.

Impt. words about your pain or any illness for that matter.

Illness can be a teacher, companion, or challenge-but not a punishment.
Caroline Myss

All to often we view our pain as something we are paying for a certain way of being or action. That is just not the case.

When you communicate with your pain as if it were a teacher or companion you will receive the feedback that is appropriate for you to move on-forward.

And more response to David McG...

Daivd;

your questions are valid and lead to one of the main reasons people have such a challenge healing from this disorder. Yes, you can learn about tms and it goes away.

Now go back to the real cause--repressed emotions...if you learned about tms and got the subc. effect however you did nothing to eliminate what caused this disorder to appear in your life in the first place...what have you done?

you most likely are still repressing emotional energy.

I consult with so many people who read Sarno 5 and 10 years ago and the pain went away and now it is back in their life and they can't get rid of it. why?

They are still repressing emotional energy...they never learned how they were causing this pain in their life...and now they are getting another opportunity..

The problem is, they want it to work like it did the first time...read a book and the pain disappears...but this time it doesn't work....not because it is not tms and something else....no, it isn't working because this person is still chronically repressing emotional energy---and most people do this with their tht patterns....so yes you have to change or switch your tht patterns....you will still be competitive, perfetionistic ect. ect. but you can and have to stop repressing.

so, going back to the problem....when they re-read sarno or schecter or sopher and this time it doesn't work, they panic, they doubt, they begin to fear and then start Searching for what is wrong Now...and of course this type of thinking and behavior just Feeds the pain strategy....you basically are breaking Rule # 1 of healing from this disorder---instead of thinking psychologically you are focused on how someone or thing can figure this out and fix you---and of course this is Distracting you from the real cause your emotional energy, your feelings...

When you can accept that this is a emotional-mental disorder, and that means your thoughts and feelings are creating and maintaining this pain disorder, then you can begin to make Real progresss....because when you accept this Truth, you stop looking, searching outside, stop reading and re-reading all the tms stuff you already know and you begin to CHANGE your mental thought patterns of repression.

In Response to David McG...

Entry for January 1, 2007 - In response to David McG...
The pain is a signal to become aware. It also is a distraction in this strategy to keep you focused on the body and away from the real cause you emotional energy.

If oxygen deprivation is the bio-chemical event in our system causing our pain symptoms...And It Is...., it is our nervous systems response to inner tension....inner tension is emotional energy (an emotion or feeling) that is not being experiened... Our internal response to this is a restriction of blood vessels which caused less oxygen to be distributed to muscle and nerve tissue....and this is painful.


Re: change....if you can just read about, know and understand tms and be painfree then that would be great and we would not be having this discussion...people that can learn about tms...And Fully Accept It...Do get a subconscious effect...somtimes this is enough but usually it is not. Most people even though they understand this, still treat it like a "injury" that someone else should be able to fix, or they take a medication and it's gone. This is a Personal mental and emotional disorder that is created uniquely by Each Individual experiencing it. Yes, there are common traits that we have like the type a personalilty, but this is an individual experience and each person must do thier own INNER WORK.

However, I work with so many that did experience this once, maybe 1, 3, or 5 yrs ago and now pain is back...they still understand and accept the tms diagnosis but now they can't get rid of the pain...Why? because they have not learned emotional awareness or how they repress their emotions...so yes they have to change the way they think...if you keep complaining, judging, having angry outburst, worrying about everything, being overly self-conscious, then guess what, you are going to keep emotional energy bottled up in your body and you are going to experience pain.

EVEN though you know this is TMS and EVEN though you understand this disorder; IF you are repressing emotions while you know all this you are still creating and maintaing pain.

Sarno and I say the same thing, I just take it a little further on the emotional side. You will not change your personality, but you can learn to be more present, mindful and aware of when you are complaining, worrying, ect. ect, and you can stop BEING that way and instead be more OPEN.

So you can change your conditoned thought patterns which may be repressing your emotions and are almost always in the past or in the future and are rarely present moment based.


This is why I continue to repeat to people that you already know everything you need to know about tms and the strategy. Get to know your self and how you experience emotional energy....this is not some BIG disorder that has to be beaten....it is an individual mental and emotional way of processing your thts and feeelings....one is open,flowing and pain-free and one is closed, represssing and painful.
