I haven't had any back issues for a while fortunately, but this afternoon I was getting my back scratched by my girlfriend of all things, and was in a rather funny position (no, no, none of that), when suddenly from deep within my back muscles I felt that all too familiar,painful knife-like spasm that in the past generally meant at least four or five days of incapacitation..
But now I know what to do, which is to remain as relaxed as possible and try to think about what might be behind it. And in fact, as is almost always the case, I remembered that I was feeling anoyed about something at the moment the pain started...
Two hours later I'm fine. What a potent weapon this mind/body thing is...Imagine the pain and suffering that could be relieved if only more people were aware of this stuff...Of course, all the chiropractors in the world would have to look for something else to do...
Gee, what a shame that would be, eh?

I have to admit, something similiar happened to me tonight.
Before, I would've tensed up and started to ache. Then I would've obsessively searched the internet trying to find some kind of solution, but more than likely would've found only bad news and then my mind would race thinking worst case scenarios - thus causing more tension and more worry and ache.
Instead, I grabbed one of Sarno's books and just started to read. Grabbed the journal and put in a few entries - thought about what bothered me, wrote it down, then started to feel much better. Because I was calm, no need to frantically search anything. Came here and find a great, positive story by Art.
Now I think I'll watch a ball game and relax. Always nice seeing the Mets and Pedro get a beating. |
