ICRAVE Happiness Healing for Pain

The more intense your state of happiness, the greater its healing affect

  • The healing influence of happiness travels at the speed of light
  • People talk about having so much pain that it is inescapable
    • All such pain is born of thought and is therefore changeable
    • Separate your situation from the present moment, and miraculously pain will diminish
  • In order to transcend your situation, you cultivate a new style of awareness
    • Have your attention on what is, and see the fullness in every moment

Most people aren’t focusing on what is

  • They are overshadowing the moment with what could be or what was
  • The past and future dominate their attention
  • When you embrace what is in your full attention, you will be immersed in the fullness of the now

focus (attention or resources) on something new or different

Transforming lingering chronic pain

  • Pain becomes aggravated with the fear about it
  • Focus not of the pain but when it was not in pain
  • Feel the good
    • Spend minutes acknowledging your good feelings 
    • feel the sense of warmth and light 
    • Like a warm liquid (melted chocolate)
    • Letting it sink like putting oil (in every cell in your body)
    • Make a kind of mental video of being and feeling alright.
      • These hundreds of videos will become your expectation instead of a dreaded reality

“Being more flexible in your mind will allow you to be more flexible in your body!”
