I woke up in the middle of the night in pain--leftovers of a 1987's MVA. Honestly, shortly after the accident, I thought I would not be able to function with this pain as I looked forward to the rest of my life. I am relieved to find that I have almost made it to the 'finish line' and though I hurt every day, I am still moving.
I wish I could remember the name of the kinesiologist that helped me when I was first injured in Houston. He was really a metaphysician, a doctor of the future. When I was distraught he would touch the center of my forehead and I would calm. My verdict then was that he was activating my frontal lobe and its executive functioning. That verdict still holds up today. It was incredibly simple and effective--along the lines of spontaneously rubbing that area when we have 'had it'.
The most wonderful thing he did for me, however, was that he advised me not to speak of my pain very much. He suggested that this would give it less power and looking back over these nearly 30 years it has.
After talking with T last night about spiritual economics I looked up Butterworth this morning online. I found his bio and then a youtube of a guy who discussed his terms. It was wonderful. I remember having found his concepts very helpful in the 80's when I dealt with my injury and pain.
Here is the video.
