The easiest way to understand pain is to recognize that every time we feel pain our body is attempting to tell us that something is wrong. Without pain we would have no way of knowing that something was wrong with our body and we would be unable to take action to correct the problem or situation that is causing the pain.
To correct the problem it is essential to establish a solid partnership between mind awareness and body experience. We can’t just treat the site of persistent pain in the body and expect to attain permanent healing. We must learn to use our minds to help our bodies. This is where hypnosis remains unsurpassed.
Hypnosis is useful for all types of pain, chronic or otherwise, for pain connected with disease or pain caused by physical injury, it can result in the following:
- Reducing pain
- Increasing a person’s life-enhancing attitudes
- Reducing dependence on analgesic medication
- Giving a person a greater sense of mastery over their illness/pain.
