Activate Your Mental Pharmacy and Tap Into Pain-Free Living

Chronic pain plagues millions of people, and the widely accepted medical solutions have mixed results. Medication is costly. It can be both expensive and riddled with persistent side effects. Those who suffer from chronic pain are often forced to make a choice: live with chronic pain, or chose a lesser pain or uncomfortable side effect. What about natural solutions? Isn't there a way to employ the power of the mind to release healing chemicals that are just as effective, without the cost or toxic side effects?
Acclaimed therapist and award winning author Patrick K. Porter, PhD, has developed a new program designed to help chronic pain sufferers find quick, easy, and natural relief. His creative visualization and relaxation (CVR) program Pain-Free Lifestyle helps those who suffer from chronic pain employ the most powerful and effective remedy they have: their own mind.
The Pain-Free Lifestyle program consists of thirteen CVR processes, each focusing on a different aspect of pain management. The second process, "Activate Your Mental Pharmacy," leads the listener through a relaxation exercise and guides them to use their own mind as a tool for healing the body. Through this process, listeners learn to use the natural power of their minds as an alternative to expensive and sometimes toxic pharmaceuticals. (Of course, CVR should be integrated into a total pain management plan, and medication should not be discontinued without discussion and approval of a medical doctor.)
The body relaxes and the mind opens to change during the CVR process. The brain itself can release healing chemicals that are designed to remove pain from the body. "Activate Your Mental Pharmacy" creates triggers that signal the brain to release these chemicals. The process also teaches the listener to stop being afraid of the pain so that they can accept the reality of living a pain-free life.
Just what exactly are these healing chemicals? Two of the most effective results of CVR are an increase in serotonin and endorphin levels. These two brain chemicals provide a sense of calm and create an overall sense of well-being in the body. Endorphins, in particular, provide relief from pain and act as a natural anti-depressant. One twenty-minute CVR session can increase serotonin levels by twenty-one percent, and endorphin levels are increased by twenty-five percent.
CVR not only addresses the physical aspects of pain, but also helps one address their mental well-being. Chronic pain can leave sufferers with recurring mental and emotional effects to cope with. Activating serotonin and endorphins calm the body, increase feelings of pleasure and love, increase brain alertness, and encourage a positive mindset by acting as natural anti-depressants.
The key element to this process is relaxation. The listener is lead through a series of relaxation and breathing techniques by Dr. Porter. They become more relaxed throughout the process, and then find it easier to relax and focus when awake. Most are unaware of any discomfort while listening to the process, and this helps them absorb the information provided in the exercise.
Like most things, practicing the techniques often will bring about the most effective results. For most listeners, benefits begin the first time they listen and practice the techniques. The more one practices the process, the easier and more effectively they can activate the chemicals released by their brain. With repeated practice, chronic pain sufferers can even direct these natural chemicals to specific areas of the body, providing relief to the exact source of their pain.
CVR helps those who suffer from chronic pain make peace with their bodies and use their minds as the solution. Immediately upon using CVR, listeners notice improvements in their lives. Dr. Porter has designed the program to create a positive thought cycle. Each day will be better than the one before and listeners will truly live pain free. When activating what Dr. Porter calls the mental pharmacy, many healthy "side-effects" are also activated. Listeners find themselves craving healthy foods and eating better, being more active and doing exercises that are safe and even therapeutic for their body, and releasing anger and fear so that they can truly be free of their chronic pain.
Dr. Porter encourages his listeners to relax, and get used to the feeling. By activating their mental pharmacy, chronic pain sufferers are taking an important step in living a totally pain-free life. The process ends with a mental vacation, a place where the listener can enjoy the present moment, free from pain, and just relax.
Dr. Porter has been working with the creative visualization and relaxation process for over twenty years, helping people to change their minds in order to change their lives. His pain-free program is designed to supplement the care and recommendations of a medical doctor. He stresses that listeners should never discontinue prescription use without first consulting their medical doctor.
