    Looking for reassurance that it's TMS

    Hi there! I'm hoping to get a bit of reassurance that what I'm struggling with at the moment is TMS, and would love some input. A very brief overview of my situation: I first developed leg pain when I was 12. It became extremely painful and chronic and lasted for about 7 years. I had a million...

    How long for affirmations to work

    Hi all. I’m new to this forum and I’m starting on affirmations today. About how long does it take for positive affirmations to start working? What I’m asking is, how long until I can start feeling and seeing a change in myself once I start using these affirmations daily? I’m really excited about...

    Affirmations

    Hi everyone - I'm starting to use affirmations and wondered if anyone else has any they use? Mine, so far are: 'my amazing brain is getting rid of the pain, I am becoming pain free', 'I let the pain in I can let the pain out'

    What are your favorite TMS affirmations?

    Well, good morning! I am compiling a list for myself to refer to when I start to feel anxious and return my focus to physical symptoms, or start to believe my anxious thoughts. What are your favorite affirmations and/or ways of standing up to your Inner Bully? I find morning the most...

    ARE POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS/THOUGHTS B.S

    I feel when you try to think positive thoughts or affirmations even imagery, or brains knows its bullshit because our brain don't believe them. Also I feel by doing this we repress negative emotions that we should be dealing with instead of lying to our smarter brain. All comments are welcomed:

    Day 42 Finished!

    So, for the last week of the programme, I did not do everything in it, but I did do affirmations after reading Louise Hay which helped me enormously. I would say that I am about 95% healed. I still get some mild burning in my back sometimes, and sitting late at night makes my sides a bit...

    Originally posted: January 19, 2015 I discuss in Think Away Your Pain how self-talk and positive affirmations or blocking messages are an important part of breaking old pain pathways in the nervous system. A patient came in recently with an effective one that he indicated I could share in my...

    success with affirmations...finally

    Several times since starting tms healing I have tried to use positive affirmations. The idea sounded pretty good to me: say positive things to yourself, change your negative outlook and feel better. But every time I tried, I met with so much inner resistance. It was like part of me was saying...

    12 daily reminders

    On another topic, affirmations are supposed to be positive statements and in the present. Therefore, I've modified the 12 daily reminders into affirmation form. Is this presumptuous of me or a pretty good idea. What do you guys think? Has this come up before?

    Day 6 Meditation and taking it slowly...(eczema)

    Hi Everyone, There's been about a week between my day 5 and 6...I read on a post, not sure who wrote..maybe Ozanich, that is was OK to take time between the daily program, if needed. This was a great relief as I found myself generating some tension to keep to it strictly. Also, day 5 was...

    God Does Not Want You In Pain Excerpts

    1) I have known people to tell me that they can't make time to read a book. It’s not the books -- it’s their tensive thinking. Really at the beginning stages anything is probably stressful so take time to learn the finer arts of relaxation -- you have so much anxiety built thru this tensive...

    Great affirmation

    When I read back some of my notes on TMS I ran into an affirmation I forgot about... "I accept myself, I appreciate myself and I love myself." This one especially works whenever you have a tendency of beating yourself up all the time about different things. It really helps to quiet down the...

    Daily Affirmations or "sayings"

    I am on day 11 of the program and have been seeing here and there on the posts some folks have their own daily affirmations and so on. I like the one in the video saying it is not the (action) that is causing the pain but the believe that the action is causing the pain is what is causing the...

    How affirmations work

    How affirmations work There are two types of people, those that are magnetized and full of faith and they know they are born to succeed and win. Others, so many others are demagnetized. They are full of fears and doubts.See what we mean by demagnetization When your magnetized your full of...

    Journaling idea for those interested in the Law of Attraction/Affirmations.

    So a post I read the other day sparked in me a line of thought and I wanted to share a small revelation. The post was discussing how one is to address the negative feelings and replace them with positive affirmations at the same time. Many people suggest ending the journaling session with a...

    Negative feelings vs. Affirmations

    Hi, I am journaling negative emotions like anger disappointment, fear etc. When I do, I get lots of symptoms. I also get lots of severe symptoms when I talk to my therapist. At the same time, I am also trying to stop being in agreement with fear thoughts and negativity and resentment...

    Hey everybody, Not sure if this is on the wiki somewhere I looked and didn't see it. I use Sarno's daily affirmations on my computer as stick notes but Im wondering if other people would be willing to post theirs as well. I want to start incorporating this more into my daily life because I...
