1. Watch<\/strong> How to overcome chronic pain,<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Mind Body Syndrome\/Tension Myoneural Syndrome<\/a>\u00a0and a 20\/20 news program<\/a>.
\n2. Read <\/strong>at least three\u00a0from this list: Unlearn Your Pain<\/a>,\u00a0Chapter One of The Brain’s Way of Healing,<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Science Behind Methods for Retraining your Brain away from Chronic Pain<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Healing Back Pain<\/a>, The Mind-Body Prescription<\/a>, The Divided Mind<\/a>
\n3. Practice<\/strong> warming\u00a0your hands to 95 degrees three<\/strong> times a day for three<\/strong> weeks thus developing the power of your mind\u00a0to take control of undesirable brain\u00a0activity that causes stress and chronic pain. You can use a stand-alone thermometer<\/a>, or a wireless<\/a> one that sends the temperature to your cell phone. (If you do use this very inexpensive bluetooth thermometer<\/a>, go to the Apple or Android store and download the app “Temp Sitter”, which will display the temperature). You may find that it is easy for you to warm your hands by just holding the probe<\/a> between your fingers or the device<\/a> between your hand and leg or table, relaxing your hands and arms, and saying phrases like: “My arms and legs are heavy and warm”. “My heartbeat is calm and regular”. If you want more help you can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: Though everyone who has started\u00a0this program has reduced or totally eliminated their chronic pain before they even finish it (so far), they have all interacted face to face with me. \u00a0So it is not yet clear if online alone is enough. \u00a0If you complete this program, please let me know your experience by emailing me at paulkhansma@gmail.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
