Controlling pain

There are two basic ways to control pain. The first is used mainly when you can't take time to worry about pain, when you must finish the task at hand. Simply don't center on the pain. Stay focused on what needs to be done. This may not stop all pain, but as long as your mind is not centered on the pain, it should lessen. Giving in to pain only makes it worse.

The second method involves visualization. Relax and focus on a violet light entering the pain. Imagine it calming the pain. Violet is the color used for the nervous system. You are using it to calm the nerves that are feeling pain. This technique could take a few minutes to begin working.
