My relationship with pain has changed over the past six
weeks or so. It started with that
session I had with Divanna, my healer and acupuncturist. That was the one when she coached me into
saying (“with love” was my addition) “With love, I give back the pain that was
given to me (with love) for this incarnation”.
When I repeat those words, along with “I am loved, there is no fear”
which I got from listening to Eben
Alexander on YouTube and from reading his books “Proof of Heaven” and “Map of
Heaven”. Whew.
Also, I have been listening to Bilateral Stimulation music
from David Grand and my new favorite, Jorge Henderson Collazo (on YouTube and I
purchased five because it’s cheap and easier to access) with headphones. The headphones are necessary to get the full
effect of the bilateral stimulation.
It’s much like eye movement therapy, which helps people who have had a
trauma or a chronic condition; really helps for those with PTS and so forth. I highly recommend it.
Is the pain still there?
Yes, it is. Do I still have times
when it feels like agony? Yes, of
course. But when I go into “I am loved”
mode, it becomes tolerable. And I have a
lot of challenges coming up so I’ll need the support. I am having cataract surgery on September 28
and so far, have no way to get there because it’s early in the morning and my
regular help can’t do it then. And I
have to go back early the next morning so they can check it. The procedure itself is at the doctor’s
office and only 15 minutes (but a total of three hours for prep, etc.) and no
general anesthesia. But the doctor saw
the list of my meds and doesn’t want to give me ANYTHING because he needs me to
be awake. I haven’t told him all this
stuff doesn’t make me sleepy but I think I’ll just toke up before I go. He said there was no pain so I’m not really
worried about it. And I’ll find a ride.
See, these are the things that challenge my relationship
with pain. Six weeks ago, I’d have been
worrying about all this and getting all stressed out right up until the
surgery, which is a month away yet. Now,
I use the bilateral technique along with the words I say (and I don’t just
repeat them over and over without meaning; I wait until it really sinks in and
until I feel my body let it is and relax.
I would like to take the music with me but I don’t have anything except
the IPad. It’s not even on it and I
don’t know how to get it on it. I just
go to YouTube with the iPad. What I
bought is on my laptop. Not sure if I
can access there Wi-Fi while I’m there.
But I’d love to listen to it while they are doing the surgery.
