Hypnosis and guided imagery can help you learn to diminish and eliminate your own pain for a wide variety of diseases and conditions. It is one of several relaxation methods for alleviating chronic pain that has been approved by an independent panel convened by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Dr. Martin Rossman, author of Healing Yourself: A Step By Step Approach to Better Health Through Imagery says, "Conditions that are caused by or aggravated by stress often respond very well to imagery techniques." Because of the correllation between stress and pain, oftentimes people find that when they actively and regularly practice hypnosis or imagery they can manager their own pain in a much more effective way.

Stress can have a cumulative effect on your health. Dr. John Sarno, author of Mind Over Back Pain, asserts that through years of research and treatment on patients who suffer from back pain, he is convinced that the mind and body are inseparable and interactive." Furthermore, he says that in many cases of people who suffer with chronic pain, it is emotional stressors that are the perpetuators of back pain as opposed to a fundamental structural abnormality.

Here are some common sources of pain which you can learn to manage with hypnosis and imagery:
· Arthritis
· Back Pain
· Childbirth
· Chronic Pain
· Dental Procedures
· Fibromyalgia · Headaches - due to tension
· Migraines
