Hello my name is Jody and welcome to sleep hypnosis for pain relief. Please lie down and close your eyes or make yourself as comfortable as you possibly can where ever you are right now. This audio is for sleep so if you are listening to this at bedtime or nap time you have chosen an excellent time to do so. If this is not a convenient time for you to fall asleep, no worries, if you simply relax and listen I am sure you will find something in these words that is useful to you as you learn to manage you own pain easily and naturally. I would recommend you do not listen to this recording if you are driving a car or doing anything that might be dangerous if you fall asleep as many people often do while listening to sleep hypnosis videos. It may also be wise to bring your pain to a doctor's attention if you have not already done so to make sure everything is in order and functioning as well as can be so you can attack this problem on all levels. Soon we will be going on a journey into your own mind and nervous system where you can see or imagine some of the factors within you that come into play when you experience pain and make adjustments where necessary to decrease the sensation of this stimulus and the emotional distress that often accompanies it. As we do this you will be encouraged to relax very deeply. Deep relaxation is a natural and healthy analgesic and as you relax more deeply and drift off into a deep and comfortable sleep…as you become very deeply asleep…you will not be feeling any thing at all while you are resting and rejuvenate yourself…giving your mind and body the rest it needs to heal..so you can awake refreshed and able to cope with, and maybe even enjoy, whatever is going on in your life situation right now……
