The Mind Heals All...The mind is a very potent tool that we have been given to help us along our journey. It is an epicenter for our soul as well as our ego, and mastering our minds is a life-long task. Just when we think we have it mastered, it can – and often does – shift and suddenly we discover depths that we didn’t know were there. Many times, these shifts are accompanied by pain.
Pain can be intimidating, terrifying and downright crippling for many people. Whether it's emotional pain, spiritual pain, or physically chronic, pain can be scary if you aren't mentally prepared to deal with it. 
In my practice as a life coach, I often use hypnotherapy and Neuro-Lingustic Programming (NLP) to assist people in overcoming pain of all types. And it works if one is open to the possibilities.
Below, I’m going to give you a visualization technique with which to experiment and see if it helpful for you in releasing any emotional or physical pain that you may be experiencing.
Before I do, I ask that you approach this technique with an open mind, open heart, and IMAGINE how much better you will feel afterward… and because you are open, I know you will find great success in this technique.

Here we go…Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes.
Expel all of the air from your lungs and hold it out for a moment. Clear your mind. There is nothing but the sound of my voice.
Now inhale very slowly thru your nose, filling your lungs to capacity. Now hold it in for a moment.
Now, exhale slowly thru your mouth. Again, expel all of the air from your lungs. As you exhale, mentally repeat the word “Relax”
Slowly inhale again thru your nose… Then slowly out thru your mouth… Relax 
Allow yourself to experience what a good feeling it is to relax. Relax your eyelids… move your head from side to side and feel your neck relax… take your time… allow the feeling to overcome your entire body.
Feel your face muscles relax… Feel your shoulders relax… your chest… your back… your arms… your hands…
Relax your waist… relax your legs… slowly… feel the tension leave your body…
Is your inhale smooth? Is your exhale smooth? Relax… 

As you are calm and completely relaxed, you are open and willing to receiveand accept my rewarding suggestions. Although your thoughts may be driftedaway from here, your subconscious mind is attentive and records every positive suggestion now offered you.
Now I want you to imagine yourself at a wonderful beach. The sea is calm.The sun is shining. You can even feel in your imagination a warm breeze, youfeel good. You stare at the horizon. You can hear the waves as they approach you standing on the warm sand, the water almost reaching your feet. It is so relaxing, so good.
Now I want you to imagine a bottle. An empty bottle. I want you to pick thatbottle up from the sand. Hold it, look at it. It’s an old, empty, but corked bottle.
You can easily uncork a bottle. Do it. Uncork it.
Remember to breathe…
Now with the power of your imagination and your subconscious mind, I wantyou to simply imagine shimmering particles of energy entering your body as you inhale. Allow this Universal energy to spread throughout your body, first from your center, then spreading outward through your limbs. 
As you exhale, imagine those shimmering particles absorb the pain you have been feeling and all negative energies and push them out through your mouth as a cloud of black smoke… 
Blow the smoke into the bottle… and Relax…
Inhale again visualizing the shimmering energy as it absorbs all the pain, negative energy and tension.
Exhale pushing into the bottle all of the negative feelings as black smoke… Relax
Imagine the pain flowing from your mind, body, and spirit into that bottle. It is flowing away from you and filling the bottle…
Flowing and leaving your body. Completely out of your body and into the bottle.
Keep breathing and allowing the shimmering particles to arrest the pain… Relax… and when there is no black smoke to exhale, Cork the bottle. 
And, now see yourself throwing it into the sea. As far as you can. All thepain you suffered from before is in that bottle now. 
And it floats further, and further away from you, inside that bottle, away and away. 
Keep watching the bottle, drifting away from you in the current … and as the bottle floats away, so all of your pain floats away with it.
You are so relaxed, free from pain. It’s gone. 
You can not see the bottle anymore. It is so far away, it’s too small to see now. So is your pain. It is gone!
And you feel better than ever, calm and relaxed… Happy and full of joy. 
You feel strong. You feel completely healthy and you are so relaxed.
Softly whisper these words…
“From this moment forward I am in control of every situationI will always know the right words to speak… I will always know the right action to take and this is so…I will now have vibrant health… I will now have everything I want… I now have the power of the Universe, and this is soI now have peace and harmony in my life… I now have wonderful love and abundance, and this is so… I give myself permission to enjoy all that flows to me… I claim all of these things from this time forward. “

Take a moment to enjoy this feeling… 
When you are ready, slowly bring yourself back to the present moment… remembering that you now have this amazing visualization to aid you whenever you need. 

Repeat this visualization as often as you like. You are now empowered to heal yourself from pain.

Stay Zen!
