What To Do About Pain

Over the past few days, I have been experiencing pain in various parts of my body. It may be a result of overdoing it in a water aerobics class a few days ago, anxiety over an upcoming trip, a flare-up of CFS symptoms, or a combination of all of these. I tried Tylenol, which relieved some of it, and I also applied a mix of coconut oil and Do terra peppermint essential oil (which feels and smells great-there are many essential oils that will help), but I still felt some pain. What I did (and what I know to do in these instances) is to turn to Jesus for healing. I have been silently meditating both sitting and lying down with my hands over the affected area and imagined Jesus beside me, laying hands on me for healing. Deeply breathing in , I inhale His healing power and love. Exhaling slowly, I breathe out the pain, anxiety and anything else that I don't want. I do this for 15-20 minutes at a time. I do feel better today.

If you don't relate to a Christian example, just use a healing Power, just focusing on your breath or whatever has meaning to you.  In my case, it feels very comforting to know that Jesus is beside me through all my hard times, ready to ease my pain and calm my spirit. I also use a couple of guided meditation CDs by Bellaruth Naparstek, "General Wellness" and one for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.  Both are excellent.  And nothing beats a walk out in nature for relaxation and focusing your mind on gratitude and the present moment, and away from pain.  I recommend any and all of these healing techniques. Wishing you freedom from pain....and healing for your spirit.
