Stroke Of Insight - pain

on page 165, Dr. Taylor says "When i'm in pain, I become quiet, coddle the wound, and consciously surrender into the pain, which helps it dissipate...Once my brain acknowledges the existence of the pain, then it has served its purpose and either lightens up in intensity, or goes away."

do you think there is truth in this? have you ever successfully practiced this?

Brain Chatter

On p. 31 Dr. Taylor first introduces brain chatter. I wondered now that I had a term for what my brain is constantly thinking, what I am actually thinking about. So I said for a whole day I was going to write down everything my brain chatted about.

I quit after 5 minutes. It is crazy how much you can think about just in 5 minutes. Try it and post your results and I will post mine!

Now off for some indian food which my brain was chatting about as I titled this post... :)
