This is not a success story,at least not yet! and I'm not on here to boast or brag, but today I sneezed, yes sneezed. For months now I've been telling myself that when I can sneeze, really sneeze without doubling over in spasm mid-sneeze then I would be on the road to recovery. As I've said I'm not here bragging but I'm so happy I had to tell someone and you lot are the only ones who really understand. My wife does not accept TMS and my work colleagues think I've gone a bit weird when I talk Mindbody. Anyway enough said I'm off for a run.
Thankyou John Sarno
Thankyou Steve O

Hi Boaz5301,
I recognize that sneeze event, even though I have not had it since before 2000. I used to sneeze and cause the lower back muscles to spasm. It used to put me on the ground, and I dreaded it.
My low back is completely OK now. I am in the last throws of TMS with a slight neck spasm.
Good luck, I would also say hooray you are healing.

You goes Boaz, take any morsel of healing and run with it. Each time you reach a new level, you then know you can reach new levels. Healing sometimes occurs quickly but more often happens in slow and unsteady circumstances. But it's once again important to say that healing occurs when you stop trying to heal. It "just happens" when you're back to being engaged in life.
Two weeks ago I found out that a lady's pain suddenly left her after reading my chapter on Anger. This is rare, healing almost always happens in levels, as the brain loses its fear as a tool for survival. Once the brain realizes that fear is not needed for survival it begins to slow its chatter, which adjusts the nervous system appropriately (that amygdala/hypothalamus/ANS stuff doc Sarno mentioned).
So if someone heals through a sudden lightbulb, ah ha, moment, that is great, but rare. That's knowledge therapy at its finest. But healing that takes place slowly, over time, is also knowledge therapy, and the most common occurrence. Those people simply aren't as willing, or as able, to uproot their old patterns of belief as quickly. They cling to current knowledge as a survival tool, and constantly seek out real physical problems to hide within. But this is ok. As I wrote, it's psychologically safer to heal slowly in most cases, and what I've witnessed, healing is more permanent with slow healing. But I only know what I've seen.
Next time you go to sneeze just tell yourself it won't hurt. It will let you know if you believed it or not. The truth is that it doesn't hurt, but we expect it too, and so it does. Our expectations set up our health realities. Unfortunately, the medical industry has people convinced they are in constant need and failing, and so they are. Your biology follows your belief.
