Speed healing of trauma injuries through self directed regeneration

It hurts? Take a deep breath and feel all that tension, fear and pain, on the exhale let all that tension and fear go. Do this several times please to active the relaxation response. If successful you have just mastered the first step in self directed healing. This step is important because tension, fear or being emotional upset hinders the healing systems ability to function.
If it does not hurt and you know it's damaged you can apply stress to make it hurt, standing up straight on a hard floor is the method which has the smallest chance of causing further damage. There is also the jigsaw method you use the parts you can feel to define the parts you cannot same as in putting together a puzzle.
I discovered how to deal with the "pain" the morning after my last bicycle crash when it hurt to breath and I could not stand up straight. Standing in the living room it came to me, this is not how I'm going to spent the rest of my life. I knew of two ways to obtain extraordinary healing, through prayer or force of will. Exactly how they worked was unknown so I sat down and explored one thing both methods have in common. They originate or are activated inside your head.
The first thing I found as I explored inside my head was a pain signal. Upon examining that signal closely I discovered there was more information than location and ouch in it. Pain or a distress signal is a holographic burst transmission generated by injured cells.The ouch or pain part is the feeling centers interpretation of the flag or priority indicator of a distress signal.
If you route a distress signal through your visual cortex you will see in 3D color exactly whats wrong. Ripped cables(muscles), crushed pipes(veins/arteries), crimped wires(nerves), muscle imbalances or anything else you have damaged. This routing is done by focusing on the distress signal in a manner very similar to focusing your eyes on a tiny detail while insisting, demanding, commanding to see what the problem is. Once you know exactly what the problem is it can be fix directly, speedily.
Pain has a peak intensity of approximately 220 volts. I can make that comparison because I burnt a pair of side cutters on a live line at work one day.
Yes if you focus on the signal to the degree necessary you will experience pain at peak intensities. The alternative to short term discomfort/agony is a life time of disability and pain.
You have an automatic regeneration/healing system, but it does not work well over distance. For example if the ends of cut muscles are not lined up exactly they are reattached as is or not at all, causing a muscle imbalance. So using isometric exercises or self massage you will have to line the loose ends up exactly so the auto system can reconnect them in the correct position.
Fresh injuries as in minutes old can be healed extraordinarily fast. Old injuries due limitations of the auto system and complications are a major hassle.The best example of a complication is limping or compensating. Most people shift muscle use and tension when injured to avoid aggravating the injury. This sets up muscle imbalances which over time become locked in, then they pull your joints and spine out of alignment. Those imbalances also increase the risk of further injury.
The process is tedious and painful but I can sprint across a street to beat traffic or put in a day at work where it use to hurt to breath.
I discovered this bit of human ability in Nov of 1986.
A very use full skill the relaxation response . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_applications_and_clinical_studies_of_meditation
The placebo effect can increase the effectiveness of sugar pills against disease between 5-10%. think of it as software. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo_Effect
- BBC News - Negative experiences can stop painkillers working
A patient's belief that a drug will not work can become a self fulfilling prophecy, according to researchers. To me the study indicates that the drugs do not work. If your expectations have that effect it's all a placebo effect.

What you look at can strongly influence how much pain you feel, a study reveals. This clearly shows how much "science" really knows about how your brain works...JamesB

it does not work at all
i take a deep breath let tension go concentrate on pain close my eys and i do not see it
I dont really understand this. Its not helping my pain.
it worked for me my pain actually went away for the most part and lately i've been healing faster than usual
If it is working, than your pain is obviously just psychological. Pain is a reaction to a mishap, it's apart of life.
It would be interesting to see a more detailed version of this information given to several doctors to review as Im sure it has some merit but very little medical evidence/basis.
Most of your readers are going to be saturated with the 'generation NOW' mentality and will not have the insight or patience to consider it beyond the possabilities of immediate gratification.
Probably very little medical basis, thought provoking though.
i dont find this advice very usefull.
if you get pain from sprinting across a street you are obviously just not physically in shape at all
You need real medical care to help heal bad injuries
You have provided no form of evidence based practice to prove this works, and that said i doubt it will. PLEASE DON'T SUBSTITUTE THIS FOR PROPER MEDICAL TREATMENT.
James, You are obviously very well educated and John Doe makes a good point to very well put.
Honestly anyone who actually is small minded enough to doubt the power of the mind/body connection has never done anything that requires this connection! visualized breathing like tai-chi etc has been around thousands of years in chinese history along with focusing energy to certain points of your body through movement etc etc... seriously dont doubt the merit of this thread just because you yourself are to ignorent or impatient to master such techniques, better not to post at all!
Are you familiar with Dr John Sarno? His view point on healing is similar to yours and he's helped thousands of people with chronic pain.
Really good advice James, meditation can definetely help a healing process.
I can loosely associate this method with how ive dealt with anxiety/depression and the overall difficulty with life we all come to face everyday. It was all about locating the issue, and determining what was causing that issue and releiving the real culprit of its autocratic position over my thoughts, and well being.
For instance i once hated myself, but determined criticism sent down by media and most mainstream culture played off my insecurities for their benefit and hopes i would play that game. But realized that it wasnt I who had the problem, they just convinced me I did. In turn i realized who i was, and no longer hated myself, but saw the short comings of certain influences in society. Sometimes issues can be so deep we cannot recognize where they erupt.
I just read this today, and am extremely excited to try it out in the physical aspect. Im not entirely sure how to advance the healing, but to trust it to do it on its own? When i close my eyes and focus on the pain, and breath i feel as if im trying to alter it physically, as if i were 'telapathic.'
Im not sure i am understanding how to address this... what do you think?
If you have any additional info you wouldnt mind passing along, id greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi James.. you have hit the nail on the head and that is what incenses the medical community, because, if you get followers, their 'business' gets affected. Very good work.. pl keep it up..
this works you neophytes!!
This definately works. I do it all the time. I cut my arm one day just to see if it works and it did.-
I'm just a little surprized that this is on the internet. This in a way is an example of mental enlightment as you take control of your body by actually listening to it and going on manual instead of letting the auto-response do all the work, you plan it out and tell it how to do it. I do this when I'm nervous and it also calms me down.
-The nerve signals are like telephone calls to your building where you are the boss\mastermind and naturally know all the rules.When you apply this it is like you actually answering a call yourself and listening to the corresponding caller(whatever you are thinking of when you do this) and paying attention to the information the caller is providing. Pain is like an emergency call that alerts itself right away and is more noticeable than other calls depending on the degree of pain. Your feelings act as strategy map settings. Like a Snowy Mountain Valley in a military map and the pretty girl as a secondary optional priority and you passing that test as a primary optional priority and living through the day as your main goal.
Wonderful! This corroborates Doctor David R Hawkins' findings in his book 'Healing and Recovery'. Instant healing IS possible!
This is very interesting. Someone posted this link on my Yahoo Answers page because my ankle hurt when I move it too much (But not when I just walk normally). So if I just meditate on healing my ankle should it heal? Is that the basic gist of it? I was just wondering because I want to try it but I'm not quite sure how to do it. Please respond tot his comment and thanks you JamesB.
So should I just focus on the injury (so it can heal)? Or should I focus on healing the injury?
Looks good on paper, impractical in so many ways. While biofeedback is a known helpful treatment in pain relief, it is an adjunct, not a cure and certainly not a substitute for proper medical care. For instance, you can't think your way out of a ruptured appendix or a compound fracture. It's irresponsible of you to keep linking to this page as a cure-all.
JamesB, you are extremely knowledgable, with your explanation of the healing process but also with the way you are answering and responding to the questions/comments. This infect dies work. I have had a stances ankle for a few days now and in reading this I have practiced (and failed) but still continued to practice and I have finally kinda done it! It's not completely healed but it feels relieved for sure. Thanks to everyone on this page. Your critical thoughts and ideas have really taken a key role in LEARNING just how to do this.
Yes, it is working as you said. I also discovered this ability - and using it when needed.
With chronic pain it can be a little bit more challenging, because brain gets used to the pain software, but...it also works.
Thank you for sharing.
I am fond of the practices of meditation, and I have successfully opened my third eye before, but I can not produce an image of my injured wrist. All that happens is that the slight pain the I have simply vanishes. I know I can still use self directed regeneration through meditation with-out seeing the problem, but do you know why I can't? My injury is not bad, I believe it to be an hyper extension type injury, and I can still practice my tumbling, but if I position my hand wrong it can hurt quite bad. I know the human body is very complex, and that if I don't let my wrist heal I may cause permanent damage, but I have so much energy and can not refrain from training. So yeah, why can't I visualize the problem? Also, do you think I could do this while I sleep if I meditate on the issue before I go to sleep?
Appreciation given in advance if you take the time to answer.
Namaste
Ever heard of using commas? No offense, but run-on sentences kind of distract from what the article is saying.
I have a condition known as osgood-schlatters disease otherwise known as athletes knee. As a response to injury, my upper tibia grows bone onto itself. Could your treatment be used to cure this?
ok and also would it help if i had a picture of what was hurting me in front of me. like the tendons supporting my knee hurt so should i find i picture of them and then try?
HAHAHA you're a moron. People like you shouldn't even be allowed to spread their crazy ideas around. "Self-directed regeneration?" Do you hear how stupid that sounds? As a medical student let me give you some advice.
1. Learn some English. I could barely keep myself from vomiting over your complete bastardization of the language.
2. The medical community is not afraid of putting itself out of a job. There will always be plenty of conditions that voodoo or witchcraft or whatever can't cure and thus there will always be plenty of work for us to do.
3. You need to go to school and learn how the body works before you start coming up with your wonderful ideas and leading other ignorant people down the same misguided road.
4. I like the idea of meditation as a medium for pain management. Pain is psychological and therefore it would only make sense that putting yourself in a calm psychological state would help ease that pain. However, your ridiculous notion that you can reroute a pain signal "through your visual cortex [to] see in 3D color exactly whats wrong" could not be any further from the truth. The nerves that transmit pain stimuli do not transmit visual stimuli. Your nerves aren't tiny cameras that let you see inside yourself, and to assert that they are is lunacy. Whatever you are claiming to "see" when you concentrate on it is simply your imagination. To confuse your imagination with reality is a strong indicator of a psychiatric illness.
Believe me James, I hope no one else ever visits here.
I have to undoubtedly agree with what John is saying. As much as it is impossible to reroute your neural signals into different parts of your brain, it is equally blasphemous to think about something and have it healed "extraordinarily fast". Of course a specific state of mind has the capability to influence our hormone balance and induce physiological changes in the body. However, this article clearly overplays it by suggesting that even serious conditions can be remedied and downplays the crucial role that professional healthcare has in our society.
Even though John Smith sounds like an arrogant, douchebag medical student, he has the most valid points that were made on this entire page.
The support will facilitate healing. No placebo effect in the world will ever replace it. The placebo effect is limited in scope and the healing process is largely autonomous. Science tells us this.
great James, thanks
James, Thanks for posting this. I have experienced what you describe, but didn't have a clear picture of what was actually happening to me until I read your post.
I suffered two separate back injuries which aggravated an old injury from a car wreck a decade earlier. I had unrelenting back pain, including constant sciatica (absolutely not a second of relief) for a year and then found out I was expecting a child.
My back doctor refused to treat me until after the pregnancy and I went into intense physical therapy and biofeedback for pain management. Despite 3x weekly sessions, I had zero relief from sciatica and back pain. Then at 8 months gestation, I went to a faith healer who prayed over me to relieve my sciatica.
Then next day I went to physical therapy and during the session, my sciatica resolved and has never come back. Realizing the power, I continued biofeedback with heightened awareness. Following the birth, I did as you described: I activated my back pain and meditated on where it was coming from. I visualized the torn areas and sank into the pain.
Today, I am back pain free for the most part. It's an old injury for me, so it can still flare up if I'm not careful with my activities or have a sudden slip/fall, but I am able to self-heal rapidly if I address it right away. I believe in my own power.
Just wanted to share my experience. Thanks for providing a forum to do it.
i treat nerve impingement quite often or (trapped nerve as we call it)it can sometimes be an easy treatment and othertimes quite difficult to untrap depending how close to the vertible body the nerve is trapped. Sometimes its trapped in the facet joints due to imbalance or trauma i find this area easy. i start with therapeutic massage heat cupping then acupuncture hope this helps someone out there.Thats the crux of it but one needs to mix and match depending on client and the severity of the pain.
You know this idea is awful just awful ok! Holding your breath doesnt make pain go and it never will neither will concentrating on anything else the only sure way to get rid of an injury and clear the pain is to see a doctor and get it sorted properly your useless ideas jeeeeezz!
well some illnesses are untreatable everyone knows that their rare and nothing can be done about them. so holding your breath and all this nonsense about alternate medicine is awful, scientists work every day to find cures for any illness whether it be chronic or your standard everyday cold they try and find new ways to get rid of it.
I find all this Very interesting James. I am willing to try anything. I suffer with chronic pain from Multiple Scelerosis. Pain meds, doesn't always cover it all. I am on 3 scripts for pain treatment. I have had the hands on healing, which does relax, and relieves alot of pain. So I look forward to giving your therory a go. Thanks for the advise and suggestions. god bless
If I wish hard enough can I have a pony. You should not spread this "secret". Then everyone will have a pony. :(
This is useful but I want,to know how to stop the pain because I pullef a mucel in my right arm
Hello. I totally agree with the author. I figured this out a long time ago when I was a kid, but I didn't know what it is. If you really concentrate and put some positive thinking into it than you can fix a lot that is wrong with self. This applys to everything. I use this when I work out to get the most out of my exercise. You can also help others when they are in pain by telling them what you would tell yourself if in the same situation. Its not easy to explain. But its not hard to do, its very basic.
As useful as this could be once we practice enough and truly learn to concentrate, it's not useful right now; most people reading this are probably in pain right now. Nevertheless, it'll probably be more useful in the future :)
'Nobody'? That's a bit pessimistic. Not to mention we can't all go and get trashed...
Oh, that clears it up! Sorry for being slightly skeptical, thanks for replying. Again, very useful with the right scenario at least.
Can you please explain again what do I do after I make it hurt and then concentrate on the pain?
So what exactly are you doing? Exercise, massage, and meditation? I don't know if this has anything to do with what you said but this reminds me of something that I've started doing. I have terrible neck shoulder and arm pains because of my job and my hobbies. I'm always behind the wheel or working on a computer or on xbox. Last year my jaw started making a popping noise and giving me pain on the right side when I opened it wide. Whenever I was eating this was a huge problem. The dentist told me I had TMJ. Then a couple months later my neck started hurting. I've always had neck and back problems but last year neck started hurting so much that I could barely turn my neck without it hurting and it was almost impossible for me to drive because it caused me pain to keep my head in the forward position. I started resting as much as I could. In the morning when I woke up my neck was extremely stiff and I could not move it side to side and I was barely able to open my jaw. Then my shoulders and my chest started hurting especially when I tried to hold a position with my chest out and shoulders back. I learned now that my muscles were compensating for the injured ones. I was subconsciously standing and sitting in positions that over worked non injured muscles eventually causing them to be injured too. What I did to fix it stunned me. I was sitting around one day in a lot of pain and I started to pay attention to the pain trying to determine which muscle specifically were hurting. I found dozens of muscle knots all over my face, neck, shoulders, arms and everywhere that hurt. I pressed down on the knots really hard and massaged them. It hurt a lot but felt a little better afterwards. I started to notice where ever there was stiffness the muscle felt like it was asleep. I could not move it even if I focused. I mean I could move my neck but some specific muscles felt like they were cramped, could not loosen and hurt so much I couldn't move them. I started moving my neck/head in circles, left, right while focusing on those muscles and the area right around it that I could still feel. I found if I couldn't move my neck a certain direction, I could attack it at an angle and little by little it loosened it. Each time it made a cracking noise and I felt a lot of pain. It felt like the stiff area was velcro and I was pulling it off little by little. This took a long time. Probably about an hour or two. I noticed the pain went away completely on my back of my neck! I could move my neck around and it did not crack at all any more. Then I noticed some more pain where the base of the skull meets the neck. I started to focus on that and moved my head around again and got rid of the pain there too. Another thing that amazed me was my TMJ was completely gone! Now when I'm really stressed or tired and I do this to relax and loosen my muscles. I wish I could figure out a good method to do this to my arm because it still hurts when I move it certain ways. It is getting better but I'm still working on the best way to fix it. Thanks for the response!
This was truly helpful. I had my arm cut off and the pain receptors were so horrible. I tried this technique after dealing with doctors for three days and this stopped the pain! I have now reattached my arm through breathing and self meditation!
One word:
Biokinesis.
Precisely what you've been discussing altogether. Without, you know, the implied hypnotism. You've definitely got the right idea, James. I've healed all of my fractures/strains/swellings through said mentality. How else would Lance Armstrong overcome testicular and cephalic cancer? How would Shaolin monks regulate their heartbeats to impossible levels? My sole misgiving with your claim is relatively unrelated; notably, that I believe pain thresholds vary with each individual. But 220V wouldn't be off my own mark! Otherwise, count me as a positive for your long deserted tally.
Pain is just a signal your brain sends you to tell you that there is something wrong and it needs to be fixed. While I agree with this post (and might I add that it works for me ;D) I do not suggest using this as something to replace going to the doctors for. Say for example if you burned yourself slightly then this method will deffinately help but say if you cut your arm pretty bad, I suggest you go to the doctors to get that fixed up. But even if you do cut your arm badly and had to go to the doctors who says you still can't use this method to help with the painful healing process?
Stand up on a hard wooden floor?!?!?!?!? That's the WORST possible thing I could do!!!!!! I broke my foot (Jones Fracture) and I can't wait to get up and moving again. I have a walking cast and crutches and if I put any weight on my bad foot it will not heal and I will need a screw put in... thanks for the VERY helpful info when you dont even know my injury...
An utter waste of precious time. Ridiculous.
I dont get it how is focusing on the pain going to help it?
What you say is very much in tune with yoga and meditation and what has been practised for thousands of years by the Chinese and Indians and other cultures. Everything evolves from thought. Pain is an electromechanical signal generated by thought. You are correct to say that understanding the signals and the source of pain will assist in the healing process. You are also correct to say that this does not replace the doctor. However, it is a very powerful healing technique. There is no science to prove the power of thought, but most of us have an example of where the power of our minds overcame something we thought we wouldn't be able to.
Some great comments. And the fact that this blog has been active for a couple of years almost proves it's truth. You do have to believe a little, bit more importantly, you have to start understanding your own self and body, and mind!
Funny- you can not "speedheal" a sprained ankle because a sprained ankle doesn't really "heal" your ankle is weak for life unless you have surgery.
What about my whole body aches everyday I'm only 20. Nothings working
BUUUULLLSHITTTT
I've had neck pain for a few days I tried this and nothing worked.
Went to the doctor turns out I had to be prescribed medication for the pain I was sitting here for a good hour concentrating .
Truthfully when you show me your university degree saying you were taught this by someone who knew what they were doing then I will believe you
I really like the idea of this method..I stumbled upon this because I just stubbed my toe severely..but have to confess I just had 300mg of ibuprofen which I really did not want to do..I hate taking meds..If I can master this technique I know it will benefit me in other areas of my life as well.. Thank you James for taking the time to post.
How is it suppose to help heal my sprained ankle.
I'm not understanding
When i sprained my ankle during the basketball game, i kept on playing, which was a stupid thing to do. I've had X-Rays and there were no fractures. I was in crutches for 2 weeks and after that i went straight to the park to play basketball, which wasn't a good idea. I've been to the orthopedist, but he gave me pills, which doesn't help much. Both sides of my right ankle are still a bit swollen, and it hurts when i walk a lot. I havent played any sports for 3 months. What can i do to help my ankle heal?
