It may sound like I’m suggesting that all you have to do to get rid of your pain is tell yourself (your mind) that you can’t feel any pain, but of course it is far from being that simple.
You can affirm “there is no pain, there is no pain, there is no pain……” till you are blue in the face and it won’t do you any good. Why? Because all you’ve got to do is concentrate on the pain in your knee or back or wherever and you realise you are in pain. You don’t even have to focus on your knee, back etc, you know you have pain, and this is where the problem lies.
In order for the conscious mind ‘control’ to work you have to totally and utterly, without even one tiny doubt, believe that this actually is the case. In other words, when you say to yourself “there is no pain” you have to believe those words and have the utmost conviction that they are true, even whilst you are in pain at the time of saying them. This is a gargantuan task in itself and for the vast majority of people it is unattainable and impossible.
The religious sects who practice the walking on red hot coals have been trained from birth to not believe what the eye sees but to only believe in the truth that the mind is told, this enables them to look at the world and its environment in a totally alien way to you or I. In fact for these people nothing is impossible, if they can conceive that it is possible in their ‘minds eye’. And that is how so many unexplainable phenomena occur in the world.
