This made my day…
Some of my readers already know that I have some websites besides this blog. At my shaman site, I teach a simple “Brainwaves 101″ explanation of the shamanic state of consciousness and offer a few ways to attain it. Susitnart started out as a catalog of my jewelry for sale, but degenerated into a photo gallery when I more or less lost interest in the jewelry (temporarily, maybe). The first site I created when I came online is the PainSwitch. There, I teach a simple, mind-over-matter technique for neutralizing pain, making it go away, not just ignoring it. I don’t get much feedback from the email links on those sites, so I sometimes forget to check those email accounts for weeks at a time. Today, as I sat here thinking about the questions my last blog elicited about “liberty”, planning what to write in response, I decided to check my mail. I’m so glad I did. Here is what I found from the PainSwitch site:
This (feedback such as this) is why I do what I do. It’s how I justify my life, earn my oxygen on the planet. This is what makes me happy. I had to share it.
Hello ~ I stumbled onto your web site while searching the web for anything that could help me relieve the constant pain of Fibromyalgia that has been plaguing me for several years. I had a number of serious health problems over several years after I retired at age 60 which my doctor said is likely to have caused the pain.
I am now 65 and because of the constant pain thought about ending it myself when despondent in the middle of the night, but because of my family I could never take this action. It would haunt my wife and 4 daughters and 5 grandchildren for the rest of their lives.
I have been taking two different types of prescribed narcotics for pain and this interfered with sleeping and has resulted in constant fatigue as well.
Now, about two days after I discovered your painswitch web site the pain is mostly gone! And so is the anxiety caused by the constant pain. I never would have believed that following the simple instructions on your web site that such a change in such a short time would be possible. I have not taken any narcotics for over two days and am mostly pain free! I simple rub my leg and arm muscles, acknowledge the sensations, and tell my brain that it has delivered the message and now to quiet down as I know the pain will go away. It is like a miracle! Thank you.

Wow… that is really Great! I had a quick look at the Painswitch site….. Im going to pass it on to some friends of mine. Thanks so much.
Beeeeautiful! Feel the love.
Wonderful. I will send my mom to your website. She has fibromyalgia too. Thank you.
I’ve just read the site and sent you an e-mail – absolutely fascinating, definitely something I’m going to try, and I desperately want more info on fog dispersal.
Sadly I’m not that smart but I wasn’t made for that. I was made for the army and killing…
Makes it all worthwhile, doesn’t it?
Very cool….SuSu. I’ve been doing that for years and not realizing that I was actually doing anything. I used to ‘think’ away menstrual cramps and headaches and such….sort of mentally pushing the pain out. I still can do it if I can find a quiet moment.
wow that is awesome…i could not get the links to work but i would love to read your painswitch one…i get a lot of pain in my joints and muscles and have been known to down over 800 mils of ibuprofin, codine whatever i can to kill it when it starts..they have no explanation so far of where it is coming from..either so your site might come in handy!
I often rub the spots that hurt but never thought about telling my brain the message was recieved..can you send me the links or could it be that my firewall settings are keeping me out..
b.
you are always
Wow Susu… I am headed there now!!! lol… I have a number of ailments and the Pain is unbearable at times… Thank you for sharing… Blessings
I read your site sometime ago and have kept it book marked in case I ever needed it.
pretty kewl. you reminded me of somethin i hadnt thought of for years. when i was a teen, i had bad migraine headaches. i finally figured a way, (but i wouldnt be able to explain how) to make the pain move from my body to a point about a foot ABOVE my head! so then i would walk around with this big ol ‘pain blob’ floating above me where it didnt bother me, lol!
Wow…what a testimonial!
~Spot~
I’ll be thinking now about what you said on that site every time I have any kind of body sensation (pain, pleasure). Thanks!
“Earn my oxygen” – that’s a great way of looking at it.
WOW! I’ve been seeing a shamanic therapist for a few months now. wunnerfull wunnerfull!
You ROCK, Lady! Isn’t it a wonderful feeling to have helped someone? What a rush….*HUGS*& Pax~Z
I started to check out your sites a few days ago, when reading my subscription email. I got side-tracked by something from another email that came in as I was researching your sites (another health issue).
As one who also experiences chronic pain from fibromyalgia, & had taken 800mg ibuprofen4-5 times a day while still in the Navy (which barely touched the pain!), I well know that 4-letter word!
Anyway, I never got to your pain site then, & cosmiverse.folksites.com seems to be down right now, because none of your links are working. I will check on it again & again, until I can load it.
Even though I do not take that much pain meds now (I had sciatica BADLY then!), I still take ibuprofen every day & still experience tolerable pain. I do NOT want to screw up my liver/kidneys by continuing to take large amounts of the analgesic.
Thanks for posting some valuable information!
WONDERFUL!!
