Using Your Mind to Heal Your Body
Everyone has accidently cut or burned his or her hand at one time or another.
Perhaps you were chopping vegetables and the knife slipped or perhaps you reached for a pan on the stove forgetting that the handle was hot.
The usual response to such accidents is anger at being careless or forgetful and anger at the the sudden pain.
We jump around, curse and generally act in ways that exacerbate the injury and delay healing.
A much better response to minor accidents injuries that do not require immediate attention is the following.
In the case of a cut, place cloth over the would and press gently to help stop the bleeding. Then sit or lie down.
Close your eyes and allow your self to become mentally and physically quiet.
Visualize the injure part with your mind and see it as it was just before the accident.
See the skin coming back together. Feel the pain recede. Notice that there is no bleeding. Continue doing this for five minutes or longer until you feel calm.
For the accident caused a burn, place an ice bag or cool, wet cloth over the would. Then lie down and visualize he skin becoming cooler and looking like the norm skin around the burn.
By immediately calming the mind after after an injury, inflammation and other harmful and other harmful physiological reactions in the area are reduced.
Healing process begin immediately when you send positive, calming thoughts an images to the injured area. Continue to visualize healing in the injured area.
