3 Secret Unconscious Powers that Reveal Under Anesthesia

[@JaneTheSeekerTarot]

When I was 17 I had emergency surgery. During the surgery, hand to heart, I was up in the ceiling watching the surgery. The next morning, when the surgeon came by, I told him about my experience and even things I heard them talking about. He said that wasn't possible and it never happened. I let it go. Now, at 62, I told my friend, who was a critical care nurse, she said "that happens all the time". I was blown away. Has anyone here experienced this?

[@queenie5486]

As a child I used to have annual testing and was under anesthesia as I was so young. I woke up and was looking down on the procedure. I was not afraid. Just curious as to what they were doing.

[@chuckp6667]

You were hallucinating. Your eyeballs were in your body on the table so you obviously wouldn't be able to see yourself.

My mother did a long time ago. She went in to cardiac arrest. She said she was up in the ceiling looking down. Afterwards, she told the doctors about it, and even told them what they said.

No. I'm jealous!

[@kaypittman8326]

I did the same but wasn't under anesthesia. Was in a bad accident and while in er I watched from the ceiling!

[@VedantaKesari]

Dr. Bernie Seigal demonstrated that many decades ago. He warned other surgeons to be careful of what they say when the patients are "unconscious."

That's interesting, my friend was in a coma and she said she could hear everything people were saying. Just like a deep sleep where you are asleep and just waking up but not awake yet.

[@aprilmendenhall6705]

When I got sterilized last year, the nurse anesthetist in the room asked me to talk about something fun which meant a lot to me. We ended up talking about D&D until it was time for me to get the KO meds. He said it was important to be happy and enjoy yourself when you go under anesthesia, so it’s good to get in the headspace of something you love. I went under calm and happy and that’s exactly how I woke up. I can see positive affirmations being powerful little boosts to healing afterwards

When I had my hysterectomy, I was told I could bring music to listen to during the surgery. At first I was thinking about the sturm und drang of it all and was going bring some music to reflect that moment. Then I started thinking about my surgeons. Two young women who were about my daughter's age. I decided to bring music that we listened to when she was little, music these surgeons would associate with their own mothers. Hopefully, that would be a good association and get them to treat me as they would like their mothers' treated. It was Linda Ronstadt and Carly Simon, et. al. When I came out of it in the recovery room, all the nurses were singing and be-bopping around. I knew I made the right decision.

[@ryanyun678]

Totally agree with Dr Kaveh. I had two surgeries (hysterectomy and lung lobotomy) for cancer. I practiced gratitude and calmness - thanking the doctors and medical assistants and made sure I did not send vibes that would pollute the OR. The next morning when I woke up, I experienced no pain, no nausea. I was able to walk the stairs and run little errands for my roommates. I was able to abstain from all pain meds and even leave the hospital early.

I knew about my surgery a month and a half out. I started walking and got up to 8 miles per day (spread out over the whole day)… it helped me recover so much! I am on day 6 and not on any pain meds or muscle relaxers. I am also up to walking 2.8 miles per day already. I am feeling better each day. Do some exercise before your surgery and you will fair better. I am over 60.

[@neverforsaken]

Wow, me too! ten years ago (day after Christmas 2013.) Went through first cancer treatment, One positive node out of four..fast forward, 3 and a half yrs later recurrence, with life expectancy a few months, then a couple years, now still in remission six years later. I told my surgeon and staff as they wheeled me into the surgery that "Christmas day was a celebration of the first gift of life, but this day after Christmas I am celebrating a second chance at life." I also kept them all in stitches (pun intended) throughout those days before and after surgery. I was really healthy apart from the cancer. Now I am in treatment for the rest of my life. I'm 58 now, so I was 48 when this began.

Hi Dr.Kavey,you are knocking on the door of a very powerful place, the human spirit. I have had numerous surgeries and I have been using my brain to control pain. It is very attainable if you allow yourself to go to those places where angels fear to go. You are awesome.

[@dawnrobbins5877]

I was diagnosed with a mitral valve issue in 2012. I had breathlessness, fatigue, and occasional angina. I took prescribed meds for years until I felt that they were doing more harm than good. I felt somewhat better. Last year my cardiologist (new) said that I have a very strong heart for my age. I hate to admit it but from that moment forward my overall health has been improving. More good days than bad. Subconsciously, I think, my brain had been matching my earlier diagnosis with the "proper" symptoms. It's the only explanation that makes sense to me.

When I woke up during surgery as a teenager it took 3 adults to hold me down before I was knocked out again. Really weird experience, they were telling me I was in surgery and trying to push me back into bed by the shoulders but at the time it was going through one ear and right out the other. All I knew is that there was a bright light above me and a bunch of shadow figures shoving me around.

[@passiveaggressiveflamingo6851]

❤I’m sorry you went through that

[@acdragondory]

Thank you for this information! I recently had cervical spine arthroplasty and a fusion and experienced a very confusing exit from anaesthesia. The nurses were awesome helping manage the transition and pain, so much so that I don't recall any pain now. After Fentanol not working they gave me Ketamine which helped almost immediately. I have PTSD/Anxiety from a Non-Medical Assault, where the Abuser used 'unknown' substances to 'stupefy' me over an extended period of time. I have no concious memory of this however know from police evidence I was physically conscious. So the relevance here (and this is my opinion only) is the process of coming out of anaesthesia triggered a full blown panic attack - fight or flight response likely more related to the attack than the actual medical procedure. I had not mentioned this event prior to surgery, didn't even consider it. Thankfully the Ketamine, brought me into a state where I was able to understand I was in hospital and had just had surgery, which calmed me immediately and the pain stabilised. The confusion prior to this I can only liken to chaos in the brain, flashes of light and sound. Then I heard my daughters voice saying 'just breathe' and I was back, clear sight and sound. I did apparently try and get out of the bed, when in panic mode, but to me it felt like I was light as afeather and floating out of the bed and my body. Very strange experience. Somewhat enlightening in hindsight, a lot traumatic at the time. No one at the hospital would debrief me or talk to me about anything afterward, which I believe would have been very helpful for my mental recovery.

[@sunshinensprinkles9322]

I once had a simple surgical procedure that required twilight or general anesthesia. I had the most incredible dream that I was riding a white horse bareback on the beach. No joke. It was the most amazing dream I’ve ever had. When they woke me up I told the anesthesiologist and he was like yes! And seemed to be very proud of himself 😆

[@blueskyeranch6495]

My mother always has a hard time with going into and coming out of anesthesia. She was convinced she was allergic to anesthesia. I’ve always suspected that her mindset going in was the reason she had such a hard time with it. After my daughter and I went through training to become level 3 Reiki healers, I was pretty sure she would benefit from Reiki. Her last scheduled surgery was causing her a lot of anticipated anxiety. I asked her to try a reiki session with us. She agreed to let us send her distance reiki while she was going under anesthesia and again while coming out. It was the first time she didn’t come out of anesthesia vomiting and kicking and screaming. Her pain level was minimal and her recovery was amazingly fast and easy. The one rule of performing reiki healing is that the receiver must give consent to healing. When the brain is actively participating in its own healing, the body will heal itself. The brain sends actual healing instructions to its cells. Her participation in the session let her body do its own miracle. I’m not exactly sure if she gives the Reiki credit but she’s agreed to never go under again without it. Just in case

Yes reiki is great yet shouldn't be performed during the surgery

When I was younger I had a totally irrational fear of being put to sleep. It was so bad I refused to have my wisdom teeth removed. I would even have panic attacks. My amazing registered nurse big sister decided to hypnotize me to stop my anxiety. It worked so well in fact that years later when I had a c-section I had to be put out. When I woke up I was completely clear headed, no pain, no nausea . The doctor told me that I would have to stay in the hospital for a week. I told him no way I’m moving on Friday. I was told your blood pressure is high and you have a fever, you are staying here until you are normal. I said ok, it’ll be normal tomorrow morning.

This past summer, I underwent surgery and general anesthesia for the first time. About a week prior, I was mentally freaking out and seriously anxious about it. On the day of my surgery, I was calm, not at all nervous, and completely trusted my anesthesiologist and everyone else who would be working to keep me alive and bring me back afterward. My first-hand experience was perhaps a bit odd; I remember going out and then coming right back. I was still completely calm and started gagging silently; I didn't realize I had a breathing tube down my throat, helping deliver oxygen, since I wasn't breathing on my own during surgery. I didn't really FEEL the tube being removed, I SENSED that it was removed. I wasn't in any pain; I wasn't thrashing around or anything. I just WAS. In recovery, I knew I was probably out of it, but I didn't feel hungover; it was much lighter, and I had no nausea, courtesy of the anti-nausea patch they had placed behind one of my ears before going into the O.R. Overall, my experience was 1 in a million, and honestly wouldn't be afraid to do it again, if I had to.

[@daphneraven6745]

I’ll weigh in on this thing, where a person wakes up freaked right out and totally strong. If I’m thinking of one person in particular, who had to go on life-support. she had a respiratory rate that was so much faster than the average person. So when the machine was set to breathe a little more slowly than she normally did, even though she was comatose, she would fight against the machine. I asked The respiratory technician about possibly speeding up the rate at which the machine was set slightly, and she would have none of that. It was heartbreaking to watch this woman struggle, even while comatose. So I spoke to her, and then I held her hand, and explained to her that if she could sink right into the rhythm, and sink right into her Mattress, letting everything completely relax, then her breathing rate would slow down to match the machine. Then she wouldn’t have to struggle. Almost right away, she stopped fighting the machine. There’s a whole lot of things that happened with this woman, that was my privilege to watch. The one thing that now seems to be self evident, but which I had never supposed, is that just because somebody’s in a coma, doesn’t mean that she has no idea what’s happening.

[@RachaelStrange]

If you think of pain as your body screaming to your brain (the organ) that there is catastrophic damage occurring. The brain reads and responds to that as a trauma response. By providing affirmations to the mind (the higher functioning humanity part that rides the brain) as the rest of the brain awakens the mind is able to mitigate the trauma response with "it is ok, we already know about this and we are already fixing it." This has the effect of reducing but not eliminating the trauma response. This is the same way that good stress helps and bad stress hurts. This turns some of that bad systemic stress into neutral stress and some into good stress (because the bad issues are gone now).

[@MedicalSecrets]

That is certainly a helpful perspective!

[@lalee7734]

I believe this happens because you're putting the brain waves into Theta. When you are putting them under anesthesia and by adding sounds with headphones. You are speaking to the subconscious and reprogram it or adding some affirmations and programming less pain. Which is very mindful kudos to those that thought of this, thank you.

You mentioned dealing with pain after surgery. A year ago I had a sub dural hematoma after a fall, and underwent a crainiotomy and later a middle meningeal artery cauterization. Doctors At OHSU cut a 2.5 inch chunk of skull out to drain out the blood. They replaced the bone flap, and attached three titanium disks to hold the bone in place. Then connected the flesh back together with 52 staples. When I woke up the next morning I felt like I was ready to get up and go home. I spent eight days in ICU, and never had a moments pain during the whole time. Is that normal? Shouldn't I have been in great pain. The only thing that was hard to deal with was the food.

Still linked to the body but can't 'travel' during surgery. It's horrible. Now you've mentioned that you're kind of turning the brain off, this seems to make more sense to me.

Later in another back surgery, I had the most horrifying dreams that I didn’t even want to tell anyone about. I have had multiple surgeries and usually something happens that is upsetting.

For this surgery, 6 weeks before I asked every surgeon "What can I do to make your job and my recovery easier?" The answer? Stay strong, eat lots of protein. After the surgery, I woke in Recovery. No nausea, ever. After the initial meds wore off, I needed oxycodone for a few days, then followed the med schedule I was given, though I was not in much pain. [There was some, it was a *big* surgery.] I work on mind-body integration and tapping into my unconscious strength. This plus "stay strong and eat lots of protein" made a huge difference in my recovery.

First of all, those twin curls sneaking out of your cap make you look a bit devilish. Secondly, I know from personal experience that the vast majority of doctors have no concept of the mind-body connection. For about eight months after I lost my daughter to suicide, I had episodes where my brain just shut down. Doctors could not explain it. They didn’t know if it was just fainting or if I was having seizures. The thing didn’t make sense was that I lost consciousness while lying in bed. People who faint don’t do it while laying down. I had all the tests: echocardiogram, stress, tests, EEG, and I think there were more, but I don’t remember. Ultimately they put me on anti-seizure meds, (with awful side effects) because they didn’t know what to do with me. After a lot of consultations, with psychiatrists and psychologists, the only thing that makes sense is that my brain was overwhelmed with grief, guilt obligations to people who wanted to comfort me, and it just couldn’t handle it. So it shut down. Medical doctors are not trained to understand this connection.

Interesting. I shouldn't have been quick to dismiss Carl Jung's Id, Ego, Conscious, and Super Conscious as mumbo jumbo nonsense and paid more attention way back when I was forced to take a Philosophy course lol. With this being said, doctors and their medical team need to be very careful what they say in the presence of their unconscious patients. It could help or hurt the patient.

Incredible, I have had far too many surgeries ove my lifetime of 70 years. I normally come out of theatre reasonably well but * have had about a handfil of times where I have been in a bad way, so I found today's video really interesting. I have often wondered why the majority of times I wake up fine yet have reacted badly on rare occasions. Especially strange is when the surgery has been in the same hospital with my entire medical file. Interestingly two of my worse experiences have been when I had female anaesthesiologists. Very strange.

[@IamwhoIam333]

That was me. I was actually kept in a coma for a month. I always wondered what took place. The only thing I remember is one time they brought me back to consciousness and the pain level was so high they put me back under. I have no idea what transpired that month. I lost time is all that I know.

[@sunshine3914]

I was probably under for an hour or two, but it could have just as well been a month or two. Even awake, I still have no concept of time.

[@Pattythomas5]

When I was 9 years old (a long time ago when they still used ether) I remember waking up in a room after having my tonsils removed. I woke up to what I initially thought was a siren. I was tied down on the bed, naked, and screaming (it wasn't a siren I heard...it was me!). I remember looking around the room wondering how I ended up with no clothes on (I had a blanket on) and tied down. My parents came into the room not long after I woke up and were visibly concerned. I was confused as to what was going on...I asked my mom what happened. She said the doc told her that after my tonsils were removed I became combative and bolted up, stood on the operating room table and started punching people...the doctor...I gave a nurse a black eye...I ripped my clothes off. I tried to run away. (Later when in the my room, I was vomiting thick black liquid. The nurse said I swallowed a lot of blood.) It was the strangest experience ever. After my mom and dad left that day (I had to stay in the hospital), NO ONE spoke to me. The nurses didn't speak to me and I never saw a doctor. I went home the next day.

[@SpiritSeekersIL]

Dr Kaveh, I had laprascopic surgery in 2oo8 for endometriosos. As with this type of surgery, the doctor often takes pictures to show the patient at the follow-up. I VIVIDLY remember watching a part of my surgery as if I was floating above my body. I really couldn't see me, as all I could see were drapes and the instruments, and couldn't feel anything. However, I heard everything. Why the doctor wasn't taking pics - a complication. I remember the doctor rushing to close up to stabilize. But wasn't sure why she kept saying stabilize. I woke up in recovery and told the nurse to check my belly button cause it had been oozing and they had been playing country music in the OR. At my follow-up I told the doctor why she hadn't taken pics or removed my ovary. She didn't belidve me, but was dumbfounded when I told her specif things that I couldn't have known. Is this a common phenomenon you encounter?

I think much of what you've stated is correct. I'm almost one month post surgery and have two weeks more of physical restrictions. I had little to no pain after surgery, no nausea or throwing up. One dose of dilaudid in recovery. 800mg Ibuprofen for at home because I requested it. Having a positive mind set helps. The day before my surgery I became an ordained Buddhist Ngakma. I was reciting mantras as I was put under. Recovery was a bit tricky because I was having lot's of bad dreams and even audio halucinations for weeks. Please explain why this happens to some people. Thanks. I have lupus and fibromyalgia. Issues from lyme disease too.

[@pjporter6814]

Each time I've gone in for surgery (20 total), the anesthesiologist asks me if I've ever had problems with anesthesia before. All I can tell him or her is that no one has ever informed me of any problems I've had after surgery. My questions: Are anesthesiologists required to inform the patient if the patient has experienced problems during surgery? Would it be appropriate that I ask my anesthesiologist to give me positive suggestions in order to help me lose weight while I'm under? Have you ever given your patients affirmations to help them with certain issues they have? Love, love, love your videos along with your stories and all the information you provide! Youre a great teacher!!!! ❤❤❤

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

The best I know of, you're supposed to have full access to your own medical file and any information inside it. It would seem unethical to be otherwise, unless you're somehow psychologically ill-advised to know something... AND I would presume there's a psych'-related waiver system in place for it... That SHOULD also be true for anesthesia of any kind. If there's any complication that an anesthesiologist thinks is a bad reaction to what they're doing, it's treated like any other drug-allergy, and you NEED to know about it in case you ever get another surgery or are forced into another treatment... along with any alternatives or notes about it "for future reference" if you can and it's appropriate... like "all opiates cause severe cramps, so use X instead"... or something. More doctors and medical facilities are sharing notes in medical files more willingly, but there are still some who keep their own hardcopies or who don't comply so quickly on medical information (HIPPA can scare some, too)... SO sometimes it's just a bit more efficient to ask a patient up-front and getting some idea to be looking. BUT I'm also not 100% clear on what's exactly required versus "ethically best practice" or just how "most" doctors treat it... so I'm interested in this question, too... ;o)

[@pjporter6814]

@gnarthdarkanen7464 I understand the sharing of medical records. I ALWAYS read their notes after a doctor appt or surgery. My last surgery, the anesthesiologist, actually placed some notes in my file. Nothing was really negative, just a note on the spinal injection where he tried one area, then had to try another. I always wish I could remember more after anesthesia, but I haven't been able to, which I guess is a good thing. And your response to request positive affirmations for weight loss by the anesthesiologist. And whether you give affirmations to your patients? Thank you for taking the time to respond and caring about others!!!! From Patti, Columbus OH

Absolutely fascinating information. I have been learning about the power of the mind for quite some time it started that severe car accident when I was younger I was a soul survivor my childhood, best friend, and her sister had to be closed casket. That’s when I was hospitalized with three months and years of follow-up Care and I’ve had had a lot of surgeries, but I’ve learned a lot along the way. In spite of my situation, I absolutely had to learn to be an optimist because it was the only way I could carry-on with my life. Watching this video confirms many things. I’ve read and learned about, but I never would’ve attributed it to anesthesia. That is so fascinating.

[@CharlesSilver-ew3ju]

My mother who was born in the twenties had surgery and in recovery she woke up saying "My lips feel like poppies blowing in the breeze". The nurses were laughing and said they'd never heard that one before. Mind you my mother was an artist and it seems the appropriate thing to say from an artist.

[@lindadove8298]

Love your educational videos as always!

[@nanamoo2008]

The brain is amazing. Nothing to do with surgery but back in the early 90's when I was a teen learning to drive, I spent ages reading the UK highway code onto cassette tape. Then I'd play it at night when I was going to sleep. I was able to recall a lot more than I ever thought I could. I'd read out the page numbers onto the cassettes and i could recall the different pages certain rules were on. My mum would flick through the book and ask about whatever was on the page she stopped at, I could tell her what page it was along with the rule number. It's amazing what your brain can do when you are asleep. My daughter needed surgery for broken and twisted fingers. (She got her fingers trapped in a door hinge) And as she went under the anaesthetic, she was fighting the oxygen face mask. When she came around in recovery, she was still fighting. It took 3 or 4 nurses, myself and her stepdad to keep her on the bed! She was kicking & punching (including with her hand that she'd had surgery on!) and climbing all over the bed. Once she came around fully, she was her usual self. To this day, she doesn't remember anything about the fighting before & after her surgery. As far as she's concerned, she came around from surgery, all happy and smiley.

I once had a colonoscopy, and when I woke up, I was on a bed with curtains pulled around it. The light level was very low, and I couldn't hear anyone anywhere. After lying there for some time, hoping someone would come and tell me what to do next, I finally got up and walked around until I found the front desk. They seemed confused that I was there and were very short with me as they had me call my ride to pick me up and take me home. I myself was just groggy and too befuddled to think to ask questions. To this day, I don't understand what happened. It's like everyone forgot about me and left for the day. What did they expect me to do when I woke up? Very strange experience.

[@joannm5682]

Totally agree... I wish I could request headphones. I am having surgery in 3 weeks. I have noticed that what I listen to before I go to sleep stays with me. I think it's time for medicine to explore more of this and meditation. TY!

[@FourMaxK1]

You asked for a comment; I am not a doctor ( my apologies for poor descriptions) but in the 1970's I had experiences with "Alpha Phones" and was able to listen to the Alpha, Beta, and a third level of brain activity. With those, some limited self hynosis, and some experience with meditation, I came to believe that when you go to sleep the Alpha mind will rest and the Beta part will continue to work to solve issues on its own. So my reaction to your video is that if a patient goes into surgery with fear and negative expectations those could impact results. On the other hand if positive affirmations are communicated before as well as during anesthesia those could improve the outcomes. Thanks

[@MedicalSecrets]

Thank you for sharing! What a fascinating observation. I will note, however, that alpha and made activity and sleep is different than the alpha and beta activity under anesthesia. While I totally agree with your hypothesis, the mechanism eludes me!

[@raggletaggle8827]

The headphone thing is super interesting. Part of me wonders whether that might've been a method used on me. I didn't need much pain medication afterwards. I had surgery in early August, and I've already since lost loads of weight (not in a bad way, I'm toned and healthy). I've gone from a size M to an XS (which is a relief for me, it means I can fit into old clothes again. Not long ago I was on the verge of thinking I'd never fit into them again and should just donate them). My tastes have definitely changed since surgery. I don't enjoy chocolate, pizza or white bread like I used to (and when I do try to eat any of that, I only want very small portions.). I eat more fruit and vegetables just because I 'feel like it'. I even started craving raw carrot sticks, which is funny - because I used to hate eating them raw. I'm also able to do more cardio again (partly because of my shoulder surgery making that easier after healing of course, but I also started to slack from exercise shortly before I ever broke my clavicle because the gastrointestinal symptoms from my endometriosis also made it too painful for me to exercise like I used to. I still do experience swelling and pains in my abdomen despite eating better, but I feel better than I did). Obviously I don't know! They probably didn't, maybe there's something else to explain the changes in my behavior/habits. I just wouldn't be surprised if they did have me listen to something while I was out (especially now that I know that the anesthetist I had happens to be a massive fitness fanatic)

[@janharris8672]

Wow! This is fascinating. Do you think affirmations with soon become a standard part of the patient's treatment during surgery?

[@rhondamills2621]

I find this video fascinating and my brain is racing just thinking about it! I believe our minds and bodies are much more amazing than anyone gives them credit for. Learning this power of the mind and practicing it is what we are not taught or accustomed to, nor have enough scientific studies been done yet to prove efficacy to a our "modern medical community".....I do think certain cultures around the world do have a more advanced outlook on the power of ones mind but it is frowned upon in most medical communities as of this time. Kind of how I sincerely hope that in my lifetime I will experience Eastern and Western medicine offered in the same Doctors office....REAL medicine, not quackery. I think we are getting closer and science will eventually catch up. I am not looking forward to 2 knee and 2 hip replacements, but if there were a study I could participate in to prove any of these three unconscious powers above, I would be all over that and sign up immediately!!!

I get answers in my sleep a lot.

[@deborahsevigny4763]

I've been under 4 times and the only time I had a problem waking up was, while waiting for the surgeon, who was running late. A nurse gave me a shot of something to relax me. I was already relaxed, no fear no anxiety but she gave it to me anyway. Soon after I began feeling anxious and uncomfortable. They brought me to the OR which was very cold and I became more anxious, I had to go to the bathroom and I was shivering from the cold. After I finally got someone's attention I told them this. They brought me a thin warm cover and stuck a cold as hell metal bed pan underneath me and I pushed it off the table making a very loud crash. They didn't offer me a warmed up one, just let me lie there waiting and waiting and waiting. Finally the surgeon arrived, put me out and when I awoke I couldn't move. I could barely get the words out that I couldn't move. They kept me in an extra day till I thawed out. They never told me what caused that but after listening to this I believe they gave me too much of the paralyzing drug and I had to wait until it wore off. It lasted all day and night and halfway through the next day.

In January 202, I underwent surgery to remove some dysplasie from a certain body part. I told the anesthesiologist that I needed a good nap because I hadn't slept more than 3 hours a night for over a year. He said I would get a good one. It took them 10 hours after the surgery to get my heart rate up to a safe level. I've never had any issues with anesthesia over about 9 or 10 surgeries.

The brain is powerful. After OHS, day 2 or 3, I was in extreme pain. I’d had my medication about an hour prior, but neuropathy is no joke. I was meditating trying to manage my pain that way, knowing it’s not safe to overdo pain medication. I’d been meditating, moaning to try and manage the pain (similarly to how I did in labor), and crying a bit for over an hour in some of the worst pain of my life. (I’m grateful I don’t remember how bad the pain was from my childhood OHS, but I don’t think it was as bad because my female anatomy added to the pains this time.) It did help because I believed I could get my pain manageable if I leaned into it, the same way I’ve managed other pains. If our brain believes we can do something, it can, that’s why I believe the affirmations helped these patients. (And I’m still grateful a nurse passing by in the hall heard my attempts at meditative pain management. That medicated pain relief was well earned.)

[@thomasfreeman2088]

Pain can be managed and overcome by the mind alone.....i worked many ( 10-16) months, delivering soda pop with a busted vertabrae that was sitting on my sciatic nerve and 2 collapsed discs.
