Learn to Heal Yourself

Effortless Pain Relief is both an unusual and a really important book. It has a revolutionary and very effective approach to helping you heal yourself from chronic pain - back, neck or shoulder pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, etc. Its core idea is that chronic pain, no matter what its original cause, always involves muscle tension, and that letting go of the tension is letting go of the pain. The idea that muscular tension is the source of pain is not in itself that new. John Sarno, for example, in his book Mind Over Back Pain, holds to that view. But John Sarno's solution is just to ask you to figure out what problem in your life is causing the tension, and then you will feel better. That works sometimes, but a lot of times it doesn't. What if the source of the tension is unconscious? What if the source of the tension is the way we stand, breathe, or walk? Or what if the source of the tension comes from misalignment due to an accident? In each case, the author of Effortless Pain Relief gives you lots of tools for releasing tension in your body. Some of those tools involve changing the way you breathe. Some involve changing the way you stand, sit, or walk. Some involve learning how to identify and release habits of pushing through life that so many of us have. And some involve learning how to recognize unconscious emotional blocks. Ingrid Bacci does it all. She shows us how to let go of whatever is causing our pain. She shows you how to heal yourself. That's a great gift.
