POWERFUL MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL METHODS FOR PAIN RELIEF

Workshop description and research references from Lynne's presentation on "Powerful Mental and Spiritual Methods for Pain Relief" at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Annual Integrative Health Conferences. The references are divided into four sections which follow the workshop description:
I. PLACEBOS AND NOCEBOS - SUGAR PILLS, SHAM SURGERY, AND MEDICAL VOODOO
II. TRAUMA, EMOTIONS, THOUGHTS, AND BELIEFS CAN AFFECT OUR BRAIN CHEMISTRY, IMMUNE SYSTEMS AND PERCEPTIONS OF PAIN
III. LINKS BETWEEN TRAUMA AND PAIN, DISEASE, AND OTHER SOCIAL PROBLEMS
IV. EFFICACY OF MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL TECHNIQUES

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: EXPERIENCE POWERFUL MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL TECHNIQUES FOR OVERCOMING PAIN
A two-hour transformational workshop presented by award-winning author Lynne D. Finney, J.D., M.S.W.
In this workshop you will learn a half dozen proven techniques for relieving pain without medication, as well as groundbreaking research in the fields of medicine, physiolgy, psycholody, immunology, and neurobiology. Some of these pain-relief techniques are simple and can be done in minutes for immediate pain relief. Others require more time in order to uncover the root causes of symptoms, but results can be permanent and life-changing. You will have the opportunity to try these techniques, including ancient Zen and Vipassana practices and a unique guided meditation, in the workshop.
If you are suffering from pain, you are not alone. Pain has reached such epidemic proportions that President George W. Bush signed a law declaring the first decade of the new millenium as the Decade of Pain Control and Research. About ninety percent of Americans regularly suffer from pain, and pain is the most common reason people seek health care. The good news is that you can transcend pain. There are no exceptions.
We were created with an unlimited inner healing power. This power is not something we have to get or earn. It is inside us all. We only have to learn to tap into it - and not block it. We have the ability to control pain naturally with our minds, without drugs or harmful side effects. And this workshop will show you how to do it.
This presentation is based on more than two decades of psychological, medical, and spiritual research, some presented in the following handouts. If experience and study make someone an expert, Lynne is - although she says she'd rather be an expert on almost anything else. Her qualifications include childhood abuse; four near-death experiences; eleven surgeries, including open heart surgery to replace her aortic valve; assorted illnesses; and injuries from auto accidents, skiing, and blackouts following heart surgery. So if you are looking for recommendations from someone with extensive pain experience, Lynne can say with authority, "Been there, done that, bought too many ugly T-shirts."
Mental and spiritual techniques are now being taught in medical schools and are used by many physicians and other health care professionals who understand the power of our minds to heal.
BIO Lynne is an author, educator, motivational speaker, life coach, and former psychotherapist and attorney who specializes in helping people overcome limiting beliefs and live more fulfilling lives. She teaches at the University of Utah and presents workshops nationwide. She has appeared on more than 200 radio and TV shows, including Good Morning shows, Leeza, NPR, and Larry King Live. An internationally acclaimed author, Lynne's newest book, Windows to the Light - Enriching Your Spirit with Haiku Meditations, is a gift book of haiku poetry meditations and art. Her new CD is Connecting with the Universe- Meditations for Enlightenment and Self-realization. Lynne is also the author of Reach for the Rainbow, Advanced Healing for Survivors of Sexual Abuse [NASW award]; Reach for Joy; and Clear Your Past, Change Your Future, with editions in Spain, Russia, India, and China. She is currently finishing a new book, The Zen of Pain: Mental and Spiritual Techniques for Overcoming Pain.

Oct. 31, 2003 - describes results of a study by Naomi Eisenberger and her associates at the University of California, Los Angeles. "These findings show how deeply rooted our need is for social connection," said Eisenberger. "There's something about exclusion from others that is perceived as being as harmful to our survival as something that can physically hurt us, and our body automatically knows this." Jaak Panksepp of the Department of Psychology at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, said earlier studies have shown that the anterior cingulate cortex is linked to physical pain. He said the new study by Eisenberger and her co-authors demonstrates that the ACC is also activated by the distress of social exclusion. "Throughout history poets have written about the pain of a broken heart," Panksepp said in his commentary. "It seems that such poetic insights into the human condition are now supported by neurophysiological findings."

III. LINKS BETWEEN TRAUMA AND PAIN, DISEASE, AND OTHER SOCIAL PROBLEMS
This is only a sampling of books and studie demonstrating the connection between trauma and pain and disease, as well as other social problems. There are many more studies, and more are being done all over the world as recognition grows of the link between child abuse and adult pain and disease. For further research, a medical school librarian is a good resource and Pub Med, the National Library of Medicine, used by health care professionals is an excellent online resource - http://pubmed.gov.
