Pain can be quite challenging at times and there aren't many of us who would choose it as an option. But sometimes it seems that is just what we are doing because the presence or persistence of pain can often come about through the way we react to it when it first appears, what we think about it and what meaning we attribute to the whole experience.

What is it about the pain that you focus on the most? How do you communicate to your friends and family what it feels like? What words do you use to describe how it is affecting your life?.

Well-being is a natural birthright for us all so if you are not feeling well then this is may be an indication that you are simply out of alignment with your natural, healthy, non-pain state. It may be that pain is not the 'enemy' you might first suppose, but rather a signal, a useful pointer to bring your attention to the fact that you need to bring things back into harmony with good healthy flow.

The Law of Attraction states that things of similar vibration are drawn towards each other. Like attracts like, whether that is something negative or positive. Whenever you continue to feel miserable and hopeless with your pain you may end up attracting more things to feel hopeless and miserable about. Since the law of Attraction draws together like with like you may find that feeling fearful about pain may block your ability to become well again as you attract more fear towards you which means more stress and likely more pain.

As soon as pain hits we notice it straight away.It is designed that way. This is perfectly natural and is the body's way of getting your attention. The problem arises when we stick with the pain and dwell on it for too long so that it turns from signal to a more chronic condition.

Once you have reassured yourself there's no immediate danger, you become free to take a more subtle and deliberately positive approach. If you turn things around and make a deliberate choice to feel hopeful of recovery and dwell on that and practise bringing your focus away from the pain and towards the parts of your body that are healthy and feel good, a way is opened for recovery to be attracted towards you. You might, for example be experiencing pain in your lower back or in your hip or shoulder. At this point you could try choosing, as an experiment, to focus instead on being grateful for your easy breathing or how easy and delightful it is to be able to move your fingers and toes ...

This positive focus will lead you to think and feel differently and your body will support you by producing feel good hormones in response to your lighter focus. As that happens any pain you were experiencing will start to slowly disappear.

This is a process you can use whenever you need, to help you to shift the balance of your thoughts around pain to a place where you can begin to attract a healthy flow of wellness and restoration which can lead back to full vibrant health and no more pain.

We don't need to let pain take our power away. Nor our good feelings. The universe and all of its natural laws are there for us to make use of to our advantage. We can empower ourselves to make choices which are conducive to our good health. Your thoughts are yours... you choose them and you can direct your thoughts and consequent feelings to manifest what you want simply by focusing more on what you do want rather than what you don't.
