Thanks for sharing Rick! As you and some others know, I have intense pain from fibromyalgia and have had 4 sessions so far with a therapist for hypnotherapy for pain management.

I have not seen him in three weeks, but have been practicing the deep breathing. One of the things we discovered is that i have a lower intensity of pain if I imagine the part of my body that hurts is not attached to me.

This can be weird, but I came back from New Hampshire yesterday and before I left I went to a place called Diana's bath. It's a 0.6 mile walk in the woods to where there are rock formations with baths that have water coming down the mountain.

I first connected with my Source as I walked into the woods and asked for assistance in being able to walk to the location - I said that even if I am in intense pain I don't care i just want to get there. It was rough but when I got there, I laid on a rock in the sunlight and meditated with deep breathing for about a half hour. It was a beautful, inspired, glorious experience. I felt one with the earth and had such joy.

When I walked back it was mostly down hill which wasn't bad, but when I hit the spot that was a steep incline I started to feel the really intense pain, so I practiced trying to imagine my butt and legs weren't connected to me (kinda weird when your walking on them!). The pain was still there - but by golly it wasn't as intense!!!!

Oh happy days, the hypnosis seems to be starting to work.
