then how do we answer if our mind is somewhere else? :)

I've tried this with body aches, before. But I can't get it to work anymore. Is that one of those new tiny cars from Japan or China or where ever?

Good question, But i dont know enough about thw brain yet, all i know is.. when my mind is busy I'm not so conscious of my movements,walking, an all, but I do know at the end of a working day, What i achieved, and at the end of a working day...I cant move when I sit down

By the way...the car is German...Its a Merc, A "Smart car"

Really? I've never seen one before. (the car, that is)

To small for you guy's I think...Americans I mean....if it aint big...It aint...?

Definitely! That's why sex is so theraputic!

You're so right, and the best pain killer ever invented

If you don't mind, it don't matter!

I've tried this and it works if there isn't too much going on. However, it doesn't work for me usually, as the less I TRY to think about it, the harder I think about it anyway, or the twitching will start. That's hard to ignore

It works short term. Then the body tells me loud and clear time is up. Then even pays me back for ignoring it. However that short time was worth it. By the way, I have seen those smart cars in England. Economical yes, but I would not want to have a fender bender in one.

I have to say I find it very effective, especially with pain. It took me a while to learn to do this, but I've gotten pretty good at stepping away from myself..does that make sense?

I concentrate on anything other than the pain, especially the Trigeminal Neuralgia pain, and I can usually get beyond it. I still feel it, but it doesn't depress me. -Jen

I just accept that all I am is a mind locked away inside a brain thats locked away inside a body, a body I have only functional control over, the only way i can keep the body happy and working is to feed it, one thing i do know the body is so good at repairing its self if given the right tools and the mind keeps out of it. I also know if you do involve your mind it interfears with so many electronic signals that get lost the muscles just run for cover.

Yes I do this and most of the time it works. I visualize also.

I really enjoy the heavy feeling of numbness, until its time to move....lol,
