Those who suffer from chronic pain are often forced to make a choice: live with their persistent, sometimes even debilitating pain, or take medication to gain limited relief. Medications are a costly solution that can have mixed results and uncomfortable side effects. Most people turn to these medications without considering other options, but what if there were a safe, natural solution? There is, and even better, its a solution that every person holds within his or her own mind. With the right direction, the mind can be trained to release healing chemicals that are just as effective as pharmaceuticals, with none of the costs or toxic side effects.
Patrick K. Porter, PhD, has developed a new series of creative visualization and relaxation (CVR) processes designed to help eliminate chronic pain quickly, easily, and best of all, naturally. Dr. Porters Pain-Free Lifestyle CVR program helps those who suffer from chronic pain employ the most powerful remedy they have " their own mind.
The Pain-Free Lifestyle program consists of thirteen CVR processes, each focusing on a different aspect of pain management. The second process, "Activate Your Mental Pharmacy," leads the listener through a relaxation exercise and guides them to use their own mind as a tool for healing the body. Through this process, listeners learn to use the natural power of their minds 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.)
The body relaxes and the mind opens to change during the CVR process. The brain itself can release healing chemicals that are designed to remove pain from the body. "Activate Your Mental Pharmacy" creates triggers that signal the brain to release these chemicals. The process also teaches the listener to stop being afraid of the pain so that they can accept the reality of living 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.
Physical and mental well-being are equally important benefits, and these natural chemicals address pain from both perspectives. Endorphins and serotonin calm the body, increase feelings of pleasure and love, encourage a positive mindset by acting as natural anti-depressants, and increase brain alertness. CVR allows one to cope with the mental and emotional effects of pain while also addressing the physical aspects. What medication on the market today can tout such a wide spectrum of benefits?
Dr. Porter uses relaxation and breathing techniques throughout the process to help the listener become more and more relaxed. Relaxation is the key element in this process, and achieving a state of total relaxation becomes easier as the process goes on. Most are able to absorb the information fully because they are unaware of any discomfort while listening to a session. This helps them absorb the information Dr. Porter presents. Listeners even find it easier to relax and focus later when wide-awake.
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.
Dr. Porter encourages his listeners to relax, and get used to the feeling. By activating their mental pharmacy, chronic pain sufferers are taking an important step in living a totally pain-free life. The process ends with a mental vacation, a place where the listener can enjoy the present moment, free from pain, and just relax.
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. - 16650
