HEALING A COMMUNICATION WITH YOURSELF


                         VISUALIZATION FOR FIRST AID


   This  script  guides  you  through the psychological effects of medical
   traumas.  By repeating the behavior at the time of the accident, in the
   minds eye, you remove the ill-effects of the emotions  associated  with
   the  upset.   Positive  reaframation  is the key to the success of this
   script...

   Example: If you have burned your hand on the stove, you review in  your
   imagination all the things that happened just before, during, and after
   the accident.

   This  reduces the fear associated with the event and again focuses your
   attention on the injured part that you  have  avoided  because  of  the
   pain.   The  very  "FEAR" and avoidance unconsciously block the healing
   process, by decreasing the blood flow to the hands, feet,  and  injured
   part of the body.



                         Let's Begin with the Script


   Pick a time interval surrounding the injury, say five seconds before to
   ten  seconds afterward.  Following one sensation at a time, review this
   time interval.  Include such sensations as pain, awareness  of  injured
   parts, temperature, sounds, words, actions, attitudes, and thoughts.

   Go  over  the  sam  time interval, being aware of all the sensations at
   once, as they actually happened.  Repeat the action in your mind's  eye
   and   in  pantomine,  if  necessary.   (act  out  the  experience)  Pay
   particular attention to thoughts and attitudes in this total sensation.

   Repeat steps one and two until the pain stops  or  greatly  diminishes.
   This may take between five minutes to an hour.

   Build up an awareness of the injured part and see it having been healed
   and  normal  again.   Repeat  this  frequently  during  and  after  the
   emergency assist.



   May you find the joy and happiness that you deserve, and may this  text
   help you in your healing process...
