is really a form of hypmotizing ones self too - i know i've talked about this before - consicoulsy relaxing is great and i'm trying to learn it more and more - but music will also take you to a place where you tend to forget pain.. (there was even special this AM about health on CBS - and how beneficial music is for health, etc.)..
Melody - when you go to the dentist - take your MP3 player and just ignore the dentist - it works great!
Have a good day all
