Hi Ness!

I have been reading your post everyday because like you I believe I can recover but, despite reading Sarno's book I don't really understand it or feel it... deep inside. I understand what he says and I believe him. But, haven't yet had success in influencing my pain levels. Could you please tell us what he taught you? I would love to hear it from you. You said that reading his book you understood the pain came back because you were afraid of it coming back, and that you would shout at your mind saying "stop!". But, that is all you said regarding his teachings. He says lots of things, but he is so vague and generalizes... and his book can be understood in diffrent ways...

Please, could you please tell me more about what you believed and how? Obviously your re-programming of your mind healed you and I would be most thankful if you could give more details or examples of what you would think and believe. How did you re-program your mind?what did you think? That the pain was all emotional but misplaced in the legs? Or that you were afraid of things? Or that you wanted to be taken cared of? (Sarno mentions all of those possibilities). Please tell us more about the mind connection , it would really help to hear it from your own words.

Thank you with all my heart for the info and inspiration you are giving us!
