Management News Blog Posting 10 - Pain Management: December 27, 2007
Management News Blog posts insightful comments on the latest international news that render us taken-aback in the domain of the management facet of life.
According to the National Pain Foundation (NPD), more than 75 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Among the elderly, debilitating pain is even more problematic, occurring on a daily basis for 55 percent of senior citizens.
When we think about pain we most often associate it with physical symptoms, but pain is also directly linked to your emotional health. This is why, according to NPF, those with chronic pain are also more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances and feelings like guilt, anger, fear, denial, disappointment and loneliness.
Not only does pain increase the likelihood of emotional issues, but when someone with pain is feeling even slight levels of stress, anxiety or depression, the pain will feel more severe and be more disabling, according to NPF. It’s necessary to release these types of negative feelings to become pain free.
Addressing Your Emotions to Relieve Pain
To be successful, comprehensive pain management must address your emotions. When you experience pain, releasing the negative thoughts and feelings that you associate with it using a process called The Sedona Method will help the feelings of pain to dissolve -- even if the underlying physical condition is still present.
The Method consists of a series of questions that will help to quiet your mind and, at the same time, give you the clarity of mind you need to break the cycle of pain and suffering.
Management News Blog Comment:
Pain management as any other management requires a deep understanding of the basic reasons that in the first place have been instrumental in causing the pain.
What causes pain?
Mind causes pain. The same sensation, which one perceives as pleasure, can easily be perceived by another as pain. It's not only true of mental pain but of the physical one as well.
But then what is mind?
Where does mind live in the human body?
It's not brain.
It's a pattern of thought that offers itself as reaction to almost every stimulus.
Stimulus doesn't cause pain or pleasure, it's the reaction that does.
And the reaction lives stored in the rigidities of the body muscles.
The root lies in the muscle.
Mind is nothing but the habitual rigidity of the body musculature.
If somehow the musculature is relaxed fully, pain will automatically disappear from the body.
The only question that remains then is how to relax the musculature fully.
At least The Sedona Method cannot do it since it addresses the mind only and not the muscle directly.
