Pain! Pain! Pain!Pain! Pain! Pain!~ By Jan Tincher Copyright © Jan Tincher - All Rights reserved http://www.tameyourbrain.com Did you know that the feeling of pain is a result of what you are focusing on? Yes, you have pain because you are hurt, but you FEEL pain because of what you are focusing on. Have you ever been cut, but you didn't realize it at first? Then, when you did realize it, guess what! It started to hurt! Whereas it hadn't until you realized you were cut. Once you realize you've been cut, what are you focusing on? The cut, right? Have you ever watched a child hurt themselves, but they were in the middle of play and didn't realize it? Then, when they were done playing and they came in the house and noticed there was a big bruise or maybe some blood, they started hurting. What does that mean? It means they needed a visual set of submodalities before they had that particular pain. A visual set of submodalities means that they *saw* the painful area. They saw it, it represented hurt, so they *felt* the pain. I'm not saying people don't hurt, I'm saying there are times they don't know they are hurt. How about when you were with someone who was hurt. Didn't you automatically divert their attention *to get their mind off the pain*? While the person was totally focused on what you were doing, they, more or less, forgot about the pain. They had a different set of submodalities and at that point they had no pain. Pain is a strategy. Strategy is nothing more than organizing your resources. Your resources for pain might be what you see, then what you feel, then what you know. You may not be setting it off consciously, but it's a strategy. Pain will happen automatically to signal something's wrong. Sometimes you know it's wrong and you correct it, but you keep feeling the pain. The reason is you keep running the strategy. Recognize your submodalities. *** Submodalities are what you experience mentally *inside your head* or physically *with your body,* using your five senses of hear, feel, smell, see, or taste. Feeling could be the actual touching or it could be how you feel physically. *** Change your submodalities. Refuse to feel pain, and change your submodalities so that you don't. If you are in a lot of pain, have someone talk you through it. If you know someone who suffers and want to work with them on it, take this article with you. *** Pain is a symptom of something happening within your body. Recognize the symptom for what it is, do something about it, AND do something about your submodalities so you don't have to FEEL the pain. Make sure your doctor takes care of your body, and YOU do everything you can to take care of your pain. *** Thanks for reading, Jan ~~~~~~~~~ Copyright 2004, Jan Tincher, All Rights Reserved Worldwide DISCLAIMER: Jan Tincher and/or *Tame Your Brain!* do not guarantee or warrant that the techniques and strategies portrayed will work for everyone.
