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.
Dr. Porter's Pain-Free Lifestyle program utilizes thirteen individual CVR sessions to focus on all aspects of pain management. "Activate Your Mental Pharmacy," the second session of the program, teaches a listener to naturally relieve pain and discomfort from their body. Instead of using expensive and sometimes toxic pharmaceuticals, Dr. Porter leads the listener through an exercise that uses the power of their mind as an alternative solution. (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.
More effective results can be achieved by practicing the CVR techniques often. The benefits begin the first time one listens to a session and practices relaxation. The more the process is repeated, the easier and more effectively listeners can activate their healing brain chemicals. Chronic pain sufferers can even direct these natural chemicals to the specific areas of the body where they experience pain. With practice, they can apply relief to the exact source of their pain.
Those who suffer chronic pain notice differences in their life immediately after using CVR techniques. Dr. Porter's program creates a positive cycle, making each day better than the one before, until listeners are truly living pain free. In addition to the benefits of activating what Dr. Porter calls the mental pharmacy, 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. Those who use CVR consistently as part of their pain management program find that life improves every day as they make peace with their bodies and use their minds as a solution.
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. - 15255
