Back in 1999, I was involved in a car accident that it left me nearly paralyzed, my pain started with sore and muscle aches that gradually followed with sharp pains radiating all the way to my legs. My back pain wasn’t just a pain; it was a battle of chronic pain where pain killers and other related drugs were not eliminating my agonizing pain at all.
What I have experienced was out of this world, talking about severe pain sensations that were played immediately with every tinny single movement of my body. I went back and forth for months and months between one physician to another, and no one was sensitive to my pain, in fact I remember one of my physicians at that time, and she told me, that I was spoiled, and that in her opinion nothing was wrong with you… but my chiropractor Dr. Janine Angelotti, DC, BS, QME… did sympathize with my desperation regarding my pain, although this type of pain was a common thing as a result of a car accident, she suggested to do an MRI… Since in my X-Ray nothing was wrong, and as a chiropractor surgeon specializing in pain management and surgery’s, she did treat me with a combination of manual manipulation in the form of chiropractic adjustments and deep tissue work, coupled with physiotherapy modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, orthicon tables, moist heat, and cryotherapy. But nothing helped, in fact, my pain was getting worse and worse with every treatment, and I was becoming less and less mobile, the pain had controlled my life, and it wasn’t just a pain, and it was radiating to my legs…

What I have learned is that some people suffer from this temporary problem with mild to moderate pain, while for others life comes to a complete STOP! And that’s where my life was……. like many other patients I have developed chronic pain after trying months of different treatments, and I fund little to a no consistent relief from my pain, therefore I was unable to return to work, or to be active, I was in bed miserable, I could not walk again without the pain, I was controlled by a Monster named Pain!.

It is very scary, because many people who suffer from pain that controls their life usually departure all their lifestyle, if it’s from work, career, family function, and instead they live surrounded with pain.

Now, let me tell you a little bit about pain as a result of injury or aging… What is Sciatica? It is a pain that the patient feels along the sciatic nerve. The Sciatic nerve runs from their lower back, down towards the back of the leg, to the bottom of the foot, the sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body. Pain results when this nerve is irritated or compressed. The spinal sections it originates from include L4, L5 or S1.

Now after the MRI, It was found that my pain was caused by assumed sciatic nerve pressure from the bulge, diagnosed Bulging L5 / S1 disc.

Anyways, I was suggested to do cortisone/steroid shots to relive the pain every two weeks and if that didn’t help a surgery was recommended.

But what I didn’t know was how my mind functions…. something I become familiar with time…at the time I refused to get any injections, why? Because all my life I had a needle phobia, the correct term for what I’m describing is Belonephobia, which is Greek for “Fear of Needles”. And thanks to my phobia at the time, I am today a walking prove, pain-free and yes free of Needle phobia.

Three days from the day I was recommended to do the steroid injection and the possibility of back surgery, I came home crying. (I was not able to walk; I had people help me taking me here and there) It was then when I was introduced to Alton Kamadon beloved Melchizedek Method of Healing and Ascension. By meditating and learning that I am in the control of my pain and not the opposite as it was before. Yes, I received a letter with a brochure from “The Melchizedek Method”, being a skeptic as I am; I said what do I have to lose? And I went to the four day workshop in Studio City, and I have healed in four days…No more bulging disc, no more pain, not even a sign in the MRI result… you can call it miracle, I call it the “Power of my mind”… and this is the good news, my friend,, It doesn’t have to be living pain, everything can be different and trust me, It doesn’t matter how bad is your pain or what condition you may have been diagnosed with, I can assure you that you can feel better by learning how to bind the power of your mind, to “EnterYourMind”.

We all know that our mind plays a very important role in pain and it’s something you have to recognize and talk to when managing and healing your pain or your client’s pain of any type.

As an Energy Healer and a Hypnotherapist specializing in pain management there are a lot of mind-body techniques that you can use to reduce or lessen the extent of pain you feel, followed with other positive benefits.

Such as improving your: concentration, sleeping pattern, anxiety level, confidence, blood flow and circulation and of course being in control.

I have found techniques and exercises that are effective for your mind and body healing. Now let’s discover why do we experience pain? We all know by now that pain is a warning sign that alerts us to trouble.

So what is the warning sign when I feel pain in my lower back? My body is telling me that something is not kosher, that it’s not functioning correctly and that I need to talk to my part, to address it, to do X-Ray, and if it still hurt, do an MRI, so you know what part to address in the healing process. Believe me, the biggest mistake is when you ignore your pain.

Now, how to heal your pain? First, let’s learn the psychological factor about pain and how our emotional lifestyle can affect the severity of our pain.

You may find out that your pain is worse when you are unhappy, hopeless, depressed, exhausted, wearing the wrong shoes, sleeping on the wrong mattress… this is why we have to be aware of your stress, beliefs, and emotions, beacons this is what truly impacts the severity of your pain.

So let’s start with pain management with energy healing and hypnosis.

1. Focus on positive thoughts and affirmation to eliminate the negativity.

2. Stress reduction, self-hypnosis, meditation, yoga, daydreaming, reiki, energy healing, dancing, singing, cold pads, and hypnotherapy with a professional for serious pain management.

3. Visualization of orange sandpaper rubbing against each other transferring the heat and the sensation into the painful area during hypnosis, meditation to scrub the pain away…

4. Practice numb and cold tingling sensation to take your mind off the pain…

5. Body part therapy, when you visualize your body part and ask personal direct questions to the identified part.

6. Cleanse, delete, and fade childhood memories or recent trauma, such as abuse, losses, car accidents, injuries or illnesses.

7. Eating correctly and making sure fiber and water are part of your everyday lifestyle since if you are constipated, the stole adds pressure on to the nerves that can radiate more pain to the hurting area.

When you do that, you will each experience the negative emotional feelings associated with the traumatic pain from the past event, bring the images in front of you and start deleting it, or breathing into it, or erasing the feeling around the pain.

So all you need to do is to find a quiet place, make sure you spend about 10 to 15 minutes each day to meditate, do yoga or use self-hypnosis or call your Hypnotherapist who is specializes in pain management in case of medical condition related to your pain. Pain management with Energy Healing and hypnosis may take anywhere from four sessions to six sessions, then you can evaluate if you need more or done, everyone is different.

Make sure you breathe in calmness and total relaxation, feeling your muscles and body becoming loose and limp in a way you have never felt before, and as you do that you will begin to experience less pain…

Now, just in case you are not familiar with hypnosis, I want you to know that hypnosis is the performance of using a variety of physical and practice to help you to manifest your healing powers of the mind-body that can free you from pain or any other personal issues, do yourself good and contact your Hypnotherapist & Energy Healer..

You can contact me for your free consultation… local or long distance. Free your self from the nightmare of pain. Doreen Cohanim MM, C.Ht, HBCH
