#TITLE#Dealing With Severe Pain#/TITLE# by Janet J. Mericle I want to share with you something weird about me. When I’m in physical pain, like a stubbed toe or heading out for a run in freezing temperatures, I say, “Mind over matter, mind over matter, mind over. NXIVM and Executive Success Programs..” I continuously repeat this over and over again, and somehow. Keith Raniere.. it works. But it was not possible for me when I was young. It is a pretty vivid memory thinking when my dad took me for a routine vaccination. It took 3 nurses, plus both of my parents, to hold me tight, while another nurse administered the shots despite the kicking and screaming. Now, as an adult, I can handle having a student nurse poke around one arm looking for the vein before leaving that bandaged arm for my other fresh one, without even wincing. It is just as easy as having control on your breathing, and remain calm. Doing some recap, I do think pain was bigger in my mind and made me behave like that. Do you think I was not really capable to handle it? And why do some people appear to be affected by an ache more than others? Based in my method I told you before, the mind is capable of controlling your body. My experience says yes. A concrete fact is, pain is pain. If something is hurting you physically, you will feel it, in that moment, or in those series of moments. But then there’s something more: there’s how we handle the pain. See how every human act in a different way when having the same level of pain. We do all kinds of interesting things, particularly when there are unreasonable fears lingering about. We can probably say that people always choose to feel a stronger pain that the real level of sensation but… why we do that? This could reaffirm my reaction to shots when I was younger. The great difference is that I was probably terrified. I was very little to understand it and just asked myself why they were teasing me. In fact, after doing all that chaos, my family always gave some candy. And I remember how even several hours after I was capable of obtaining anything I wanted because I was hurt. It was pretty mysterious for me that more pain meant a positive thing for me. Who would not like to be spoiled treated differently among other boys? So, please let me know why would a person like to feel pain? Do you think it is possible to learn how to handle pain? It was not that simple understanding the way pain works in adults, but it is possible. When a friend of mine had a terrible accident, doctors mentioned how long and painful his recovering was going to be be but fortunately he enrolled Keith Raniere’s program. For everybody’s surprise he started a recovery program with Keith Raniere and he said having a little pain but understanding how to feel it. NXIVM programs prepared him rapidly and are affordable for everybody.
