Thought this was very interesting. Pretty much ties in with Sarno's work.
Believe it or not, according to neuroscience, placing our attention on pain in the body makes pain exist, because the circuits in the brain that perceive pain become electrically activated.
If we then put our full awareness on something other than pain, the brain circuits that process pain and bodily sensations can be literally turned off – presto, the pain goes away.
But when we look to see whether the pain is gone for good, the corresponding brain circuits once again activate, causing us to feel the discomfort return. And if these brain circuits repeatedly fire, the connections between them become stronger.
Thus by paying attention to pain on a daily basis, we are wiring ourselves neurologically to develop a more acute awareness of pain perception, because the related brain circuits become more enriched. Your own personal attention has that much of an effect on you.
This could be one explanation to how pain, and even memories from our distant past, characterize us. What we repeatedly think about and where we focus our attention is what we neurologically become.
Neuroscience finally understands that we can mold and shape the neurological framework of the self by the repeated attention we give to any one thing.

Interesting. Also ties in with the "Don't monitor your pain" concepts of recovery. Good information.
