Guided Imagery for Pain Release (CD Script)
Like Music Medicine.
You often take cough medicine because you know it will bring relief from your symptoms and discomfort, even though you don’t like the taste. The music on the Ease Chronic Pain CD is like music medicine. It is not a taste you recognize or necessarily enjoy, but you try it because you know it will make you feel better. Music to Ease Chronic Pain follows the musical entrainment process for the optimal results in helping you with
your pain relief. The music starts out by mirroring your current pain state and gradually shifts to an enveloping, warm nurturing and comforting state. You are carried along with it.
A Musical Massage.
The sound waves themselves have a force that can help relax the blocked energy that may be associated with your pain. Some of the sections of the music are repetitive in nature. This minimalistic approach to repeating a musical pattern may seem odd until you begin to understand and actually feel the hidden benefit. The repetition is intentional in order for the musical passages to resonate in the areas of your being where you have the most pain — just like fingers kneading a sore back during a massage.
Guided Imagery Helps “Image” Your Pain and Set it Free.
The guided imagery component is designed to help you develop the power of your mind over your body by focusing on your thoughts. The words will help you paint a picture of your pain in your mind, then visualize it as images, light, color, and energy moving throughout and then out of your body. You will feel totally relaxed. The exercise will help you release tension and stress, and experience reduced pain or even a pain-free state. As you experience the imagery repeatedly over time, you may
gradually deepen your ability to use visualizations to achieve more voluntary control over your pain.

“I had major surgery due to an old injury that would not heal or allow me fall asleep. I couldn't even begin my physical therapy because the pain was unbearable. After listening to your CD the very first time, I was able to sit and stand up straight AND take deep breaths all without pain. Minutes later, I was dancing and days later I began my physical therapy. Thank you Howard and Judy for making it possible to 'ease my chronic pain' quickly and without
drugs.”
