Managing YOUR Chronic Pain

If you are suffering from chronic pain and sometimes it is hard to get out of the bed in the morning; this article may give you some tips on how to overcome your condition!

This pain could be fibromyalgia, back pain, arthritis, chronic headaches, or any pain associated with chronic illness. Being in pain can effect your everyday life, including work and relationships.

Here are a few tips that you may find helpful-

Watch your diet: Diet can play a role in controlling chronic pain. It's a good idea to steer clear of foods that can cause inflammation, such as nightshade vegetables (eggplant, tomatoes), dairy, and gluten containing grains (such as wheat). Stay away from processed foods and stick to easy-to-digest natural, whole foods. Try to reduce your meat consumption -- especially red meat -- focusing more on a plant-based diet, which tends to be anti-inflammatory.

Stay hydrated: According to the "Mayo Clinic", some chronic pain issues are made worse by dehydration. In order to make sure dehydration is not an issue for you, drink lots of water and steer clear of coffee. Alcohol is best reduced or avoided. Stick with beverages that help to hydrate and rehydrate you.

Try yoga and meditation: Yoga and meditation can lessen both the physical pain and the stress that chronic pain causes. Stress can lead to muscle spasms, which are common with chronic pain sufferers, so practicing yoga and meditation can train your body and mind, helping them to reduce that stress.

Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is another helpful option for chronic pain sufferers, and can be a powerful way of managing pain. Be sure to select a hypnotherapist experienced in pain management. In your hypnotherapy sessions you will learn how to enter the trance state through self-hypnosis. In this state it is possible to change the way your brain perceives pain. Therapy can also help you cope with anxiety, depression and other common mental wellbeing issues that chronic pain sufferers so often have to deal with.

Distance Learning

"Hi Sheila, I have just completed watching your training CD's filmed in Las Vegas. Wow, I was so impressed not only with your personal warmth and generosity sharing your knowledge and experience, but the program itself."

- Ingrid 

Why Choose Distance Learning?

We are aware that many of you would like to gain the knowledge of how to use this programme and how to market your practice successfully but are unable to attend a live seminar in person. I know this has been a disappointment to those of you who are waiting for an opportunity to learn this unique weight loss method, so for a limited period we are making distance learning available. We have recently given the opportunity to some therapists in Australia to take the training by this method, and so far received this feedback:

"Hi Shelia, I just wanted to write to you personally to say thank you soooo much for allowing me the opportunity to take the Virtual Gastric Band Course via distance, I was one of the people in Australia that was really looking forward to you coming out later in the year, I have just completed the seminar DVD's and just got so much out of it I am soooo looking forward to adding this to my tool box, love every minute of it. I am one of these people like you who buys all these courses and they sit on the shelf and gather dust but this course is probably one of the only ones that I have completed via distance cause I had desperately wanted to do it and once I started I couldn't get enough." 

- Love & light Charmaine

"Hi! Finished the DVD’S and enjoyed the course a lot thanks. Will be starting soon with your programme. It is it important to me that I do things right and do not go off at half-cock; your energy and inspiration will be mirrored by me. Bring it on!"
