See book keywords and concepts |  It was not so much the physical pain in her body that hurt her; it was all the bottled-up frustration, fear and insecurity that threatened the sensitive feelings of love and peace in her heart. The physical pains merely reminded her of the profound emotional heartache she had been suffering from for so long. All the endless attempts of suppressing or hiding her true inner feelings during her childhood and adulthood shaped a personality that eventually required a disease to bring it all to some kind of conclusion. |
Dr Ron Roberts
See book keywords and concepts |  When our bodies suffer physical pain or the discomfort of asthma, our immune system has to work overtime. It, too, becomes stressed as it strives to function efficiently. The stress increases, and it can become a vicious circle. What is the answer? Take a holiday? Sure, great idea, but it will reduce the bank balance and probably lead to even more stresses ... And so the stress carousel keeps turning.
Fundamentally, you have two choices. |

Peer pressure often factors in with the use of cocaine, meth, and other street drugs. It's cool and daring to use drugs for the first time, but the initial mental alertness and decreased appetite attract people as well. In a world that values multitasking and increased productivity, the short-term effects of cocaine can be exhilarating. |
Charles Barber
See book keywords and concepts |  It is an advanced physiological state of despair that one can see in the patient's eyes, in their slow movements, in the sense that they are in physical pain, in the fact that they often have not slept or eaten for days, in their lack of humor, in the proximity of death and dying in their conversation (that is, if the patient is talking) and surrounding their very presence, in the obvious fact that they do not presently want to be awake, or alive. There is no covering up; they exude naked and pure pain, like a wounded animal. There is absolutely no pretending that everything is okay. |

See book keywords and concepts |  As a flower essence, valerian calms, encourages healthy sleep, and eases physical pain. It is helpful during convalescence. For those who did not receive adequate love during childhood, it lifts the spirits and fosters inner peace.
Avoid boiling the root when making tea, which would diminish the plant's activity. Many will find the aroma of valerian unpleasant, much like that of dirty socks. Some find that making valerian tea with raisins added to the water improves the flavor.
Edible Uses
The root is a staple food of many native peoples. They can be dried and made into a flour. |

Researchers at the Laurel Children's Center in Maryland test experimental acne antibiotics on children and continue their tests even after half of the young test subjects develop severe liver damage because of the experimental medication (Goliszek).
The FDA begins requiring that a new pharmaceutical undergo three human clinical trials before it will approve it. |

See book keywords and concepts |  People who suffer from panic disorder seem perfectly at ease most of the time but then are blindsided by crippling fear and physical pain that can be mistaken for a heart attack. Panic is the most intense form of anxiety, and it is at the root of all phobia—a paralyzing fear of a specific object or situation that instills a powerful and often unreasonable compulsion to avoid the source (spiders for the arachnophobe, open spaces for the agoraphobe). Probably the most common phobia is social anxiety disorder, which I think of as performance anxiety in everyday interactions. | | In addition to reporting less physical pain, the women who exercise scored better on evaluations of concentration, mood, and erratic behavior.
The notion that exercise alleviates physical symptoms both before and during menstruation is far more accepted than its proposed effects on mood and anxiety. Frankly, there is little experimental evidence to prove specifically that exercise helps the mental symptoms of PMS. |
Dr. Arthur Janov
See book keywords and concepts |  The cingulate is also key in processing physical pain. In other words, the brain doesn't differentiate among various kinds of hurt—a hurt is a hurt no matter the origin. An emotional illness is something that really does hurt, and the system shuts down when the pain of either variety becomes too intense. An emotional hurt early on becomes embedded in the physical system, and there it remains. Being abandoned, which is perceived by children as extreme rejection, is a physical agony, often too fierce to feel. Some say, "Ah, it's just in your head. You'll get over it!" No so fast. |
Tom Bohager
See book keywords and concepts |  Half of insomnia cases result from excessive worry, stress, an overactive mind, or physical pain. Insomnia can also result from certain drugs, hypoglycemia, asthma, fear, indigestion, poor diet, caffeine, or a deficiency of certain nutrients, including calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
Symptoms associated with insomnia include daytime fatigue, irritability, lack of focus, and difficulty coping with complex tasks. |
Dr. Arthur Janov
See book keywords and concepts | | There is a common myth that emotional pain is different from physical pain. There is a study out by a UCLA team of psychologists who investigated the two kinds of pain. Using MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) to monitor brain activity of a group of students, a game was rigged so that the subjects would feel rejected—an emotional pain. The brain scan indicated that the locus of this kind of pain was in the center of the brain in a structure known as the cingulate, together with parts of the right prefrontal cortex. | | Here again we see an interchange between emotional and physical pain. For instance, when someone has a bad back and takes painkillers for months, and then continues to take them after his back is healed, he's considered addicted. But the same pill that calms his back pain also calms his history—his imprint—hence the continued need for the drug. The original "antipsychotic" drug, Thorazine, was first used by a French surgeon, who noticed that it made surgical patients indifferent or apathetic toward the pain they were undergoing. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A comparison of studies of drugs used to treat schizophrenia found that the pharmaceutical company whose drug came out on top in the study was almost always the company that had paid for the study9 And even when they're prescribed, doctors are not always doing patients a favor: "Pharmaceuticals temporarily diminish anxiety, panic, and depression; decrease our emotional and physical pain; or kill hostile germs in the body Yet they leave the root causes of our ailments untouched and diminish our capacity to feel. |
Richard Bartlett
See book keywords and concepts |  I was running about twenty minutes behind that morning, and to add insult to his injury, I was feeling very light-hearted and playful, engaging my patients and office staff in laughter as this man sat in my waiting room, unhappy and obviously in physical pain.
Finally, he was shown into the treatment room and sat with a big scowl on his face as I breezed in through the door. Picking up his chart, I looked down at the information there and said, "I see here that you have a frozen left shoulder." He nodded in agreement. |
Dr. Arthur Janov
See book keywords and concepts | | They also found both physical pain and emotional pain use the same pathways in the brain. In brief, pain is pain no matter what the source; emotional pain is physical. It is not just in our minds, it is not just psychological, and cannot be treated on the psychological level alone.
We know this occurs when there is awareness without connection during a session—known as "abreaction." The vital signs rise and fall in sporadic fashion, rarely below baseline. This is what often happens in the pseudo-Primal therapies where patients are told what and how to feel. |

Gray
Reflects a number of different conditions, most frequently sadness and depression, where it is often seen in combination with red because repressed anger and fear create depression. Gray is present when people are very tired, physically ill (or about to become so), taking medication, or using drugs and/or alcohol. Gray shimmering with sparkly light signifies anxiety and worry. If you see gray in someone's field, you'll need to ask some questions to get the right interpretation. |
Dr. Arthur Janov
See book keywords and concepts | | I always had tried to do without it and rather suffered through enormous physical pain before I even would have taken a simple painkiller.
What I did not know but found later in my therapy was that my phobia against medication was based on, and driven by, exactly the same early painful chain of events that now made it necessary for me to take medication: my drugged birth. But after two months of therapy, I still had no clue.
Two major feelings were driving my phobia against medication. The first was that I am able do it on my own without help, and that I do not need anybody I anything. |

See book keywords and concepts | | His energy field was dampened around his head (meaning there was too little energy flow), and there was a lot of gray (the color of physical illness) and red (the color of physical pain) concentrated in the area of his brain dysfunction.
As I began doing biofield energy work on his head, I could see green energy (the color of healing) flowing from my hand into the energy field around his head. At first, the energy from my hand would dissipate the gray and red, replacing these colors with green and a little gold (which indicates peace). | | My client could not attain freedom from emotional and physical pain until he had a chance to release the emotional burden he was carrying.
In this chapter, I describe a number of techniques you can use by yourself to express your deeper emotions, release them, and make better sense of your story behind the story. These techniques are an essential and potent aid to healing when used in tandem with the other methods in this book. They'll be especially important to you if you don't have options for venting your powerful feelings and thoughts, which is unfortunately the case for many people. | | For example, perhaps your life has been very difficult (scale 5b) and your physical pain very high (scale 5d), but you consider yourself happy (scale 5e) and are making good personal progress despite your difficulties (scale 5k). That's extraordinary, and you need to explain why that is. Perhaps you are strong-willed, courageous, and innately optimistic, or maybe, you are a person of deep faith. Whatever it is, write it down in the strengths column. Even if your assessment paints a despairing picture, you will still be able to identify at least five strengths. You are a survivor. | | We used ten-point scales to assess your physical pain in previous chapters because that is the standard in use among most hospitals and healthcare settings in the United States. We're using seven-point scales in this chapter because they are simpler and just as effective for self-assessment purposes.
Rate yourself by circling the number that represents your self-assessment. Be sure to read the guidelines provided for each scale.
5a. How aware are you?
1 *2*3*4*5*6*7
How present are you to what is going on in your environment, body, and mind? | | This type of induction serves to heighten bodily awareness, and I might choose to use it if the purpose of your hypnotic session was to release physical pain. Alternatively, I might suggest during the induction that you imagine your body filling with white light and then melting into that light. I would choose a white light induction if the purpose of your work for this session is to take you into super-conscious states of awareness. Over the course of this book, you'll have the opportunity to work with a variety of my induction styles. |
Henry Hobhouse
See book keywords and concepts |  However different drugs may be in pharmacological effects, the psychology of withdrawal bears much more heavily and more evenly on the addict than can be imagined by those who have not observed people in psychological or physical pain because of the absence of their psychic prop, their drug.
Withdrawal from one drug can often be answered by the adoption of another. Does this suggest that withdrawal may be the problem, not addiction to the drug of choice? If this reasoning is correct, then the removal of the prop, the drug, is more important than the nature of the drug itself. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Not only could physical pain be psychosomatic, but you could stop it by learning about it! Quite incredible, and to this day I find it hard to believe. It's almost too good to be true.
But we can add even a third absurdity: Large numbers of people have "cured" themselves by reading one of my three books on TMS. This includes the first, Mind Over Back Pain, despite my lack of knowledge of the psychology at the time. The second, Healing Back Pain, has been the most successful in that respect. The following letter is exemplary:

See book keywords and concepts | | This is a paradox that is often difficult for patients to grasp: that the physical pain is intended to protect them, not to harm them.
At this point I asked James if he would be willing to experiment with the dream. I suggested he close his eyes, take a series of deep breaths, let go, and just relax. Then I asked him to conjure up the crab in his mind's eye and ask it if it would mind speaking with him and answering a few questions. I encouraged him to continue to breathe deeply, relax, and try to let go of any intellectual attempts at forcing an answer. |
Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
See book keywords and concepts | | Often, the reduction of physical pain can prevent the cycle from starting.
There are a variety of treatments that can help alleviate pain. Some do so on a purely physical level, perhaps by interrupting the pain process or desensitizing nerve endings. Others approach pain control on a psychological level, by affecting the mind's perception of the pain. When treating pain, the physical and psychological can be intertwined. |
John E. Sarno, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | In my experience, the state of anxiety, which is perceived by the individual as a psychological malaise, is a reaction to what is being repressed, created by the ego as a distraction, much as it creates depression and physical pain for the same purpose. Anxiety is an equivalent of pain and depression. It, too, acts to assist repression. What the patient fears is not an external but an internal situation of malaise and danger—painful feelings and rage. The patient is not conscious of these feelings. The anxiety is free floating, generalized to all aspects of the person's life. |
Sue Palmer
See book keywords and concepts |  I'm not advocating the 'Wait till your father gets home' approach to discipline, in which the father's part was to dispense fear, trembling and, all too often, physical pain. But I do believe men are sometimes better placed than women to bring a dispassionate eye to their children's behaviour. 'Mother love' - the hormonally charged instinct to protect one's young from any sort of distress - is traditionally both blind and passionate: in the heat of the moment a woman is programmed to take her children's part, like a tigress defending her cubs. |
