For those suffering from chronic pain of any kind, medication is a costly solution that can have mixed results. Side effects can be just as persistent as the pain, and many times those who suffer from constant pain are forced to choose either a lesser pain or an uncomfortable side effect. But what if there were a natural solution? What if your mind could release healing chemicals that are just as effective as pharmaceuticals, with none of the cost or toxic side effects?
Acclaimed therapist and award winning author Patrick K. Porter, PhD, has developed a new program designed to help chronic pain sufferers find quick, easy, and natural relief. His creative visualization and relaxation (CVR) program Pain-Free Lifestyle helps those who suffer from chronic pain employ the most powerful and effective remedy they have: their own mind.
The second CVR process of his thirteen-session Pain-Free Lifestyle program is titled Activate Your Mental Pharmacy, and guides the listener to relax and use his or her own mind as a healing tool. Listeners learn to naturally relieve chronic pain and discomfort from their bodies using the power of their mind as an alternative to expensive and sometimes toxic pharmaceuticals. (Of course, CVR should be integrated into a total pain management plan, and medication should not be discontinued without discussion and approval of a medical doctor.)
Relaxation is immediate during CVR and when in this state, the mind opens to change. While listening to "Activate Your Mental Pharmacy," triggers are created in the mind of the listener. These triggers signal the brain to release healing chemicals, which remove pain from the body in a quick and natural way. The process also addresses the mental side of pain management by teaching listeners to face their underlying fear of pain. When this fear is released, the listener can truly embrace a pain-free life.
What are these healing brain chemicals that are released through the CVR process? The most significant and effective results of CVR are the increase in endorphin and serotonin levels. CVR can increase serotonin levels by twenty-one percent, while endorphin levels are increased by twenty-five percent. This is a very significant increase, one that brings about an overall sense of calm and well-being in the body. Endorphins, in particular, provide natural pain relief and act as natural anti-depressants.
A great benefit of activating these natural chemicals is that they provide both physical and mental well-being. In addition to relief from physical pain, these chemicals calm the body, increase brain alertness, encourage a positive mindset by acting as natural anti-depressants, and increase feelings of pleasure and love. As a result, CVR not only addresses the physical relief from pain, but also helps one cope with the mental and emotional effects that pain can have on one's sense of self.
Relaxation is a key element to this process. Dr. Porter leads the listener through many relaxation and breathing techniques. The listener will become more and more relaxed as the process goes on, and will also find it easier to relax when wide awake. While listening to the process, most will be completely unaware of any discomfort, helping them to absorb and use the information presented in the exercise.
Like most things, practicing the techniques often will bring about the most effective results. For most listeners, benefits begin the first time they listen and practice the techniques. The more one practices the process, the easier and more effectively they can activate the chemicals released by their brain. With repeated practice, chronic pain sufferers can even direct these natural chemicals to specific areas of the body, providing relief to the exact source of their pain.
CVR helps those who suffer from chronic pain make peace with their bodies and use their minds as the solution. Immediately upon using CVR, listeners notice improvements in their lives. Dr. Porter has designed the program to create a positive thought cycle. Each day will be better than the one before and listeners will truly live pain free. When activating what Dr. Porter calls the mental pharmacy, many healthy "side-effects" are also activated. Listeners find themselves craving healthy foods and eating better, being more active and doing exercises that are safe and even therapeutic for their body, and releasing anger and fear so that they can truly be free of their chronic pain.
At the end of the process, Dr. Porter leads the listener to a mental vacation. The listener has time to enjoy the moment, totally relaxed and free from pain. An important step in living a completely pain-free life is to learn to relax and activate the mental pharmacy. With CVR, listeners can do just that.
Dr. Porter has been working with the creative visualization and relaxation process for over twenty years, helping people to change their minds in order to change their lives. His pain-free program is designed to supplement the care and recommendations of a medical doctor. He stresses that listeners should never discontinue prescription use without first consulting their medical doctor. - 15437
