Pain is how the body communicates disorders to our mind/brain. This audiobook reverses that concept and explores simple concepts that can help you manage pain so that your suffering does not take over your life. This is the seventh audiobook in this series.

The Innovations in Mind/Body Therapies series is a collection of ten short-listen audiobooks that review latest thinking and research findings in integrative medicine, which is contrary to the bottom-up dogma that has been part of main-stream medicine for over a century. The focus is on what how the body down to the sub-cellular level reacts to its environment and how the mind can be intentionally used to affect the health through self-talk, imagery, meditation, and hypnotherapy. The ideas discussed are based upon thousands of research studies conducted by major US and international medical schools and research facilities.

The series includes the following books:

1. The Mind/Body Connection
2. The New Biology
3. The Neurology of Mind/Body Health
4. Transformation Revisited
5. The Immune System Primer
6. Using Imagery to Heal
7. A Quick Pain Management Primer
8. Healing the Body Basics
9. The Mind, Surgery, and Recovery
10. Calming Your Gut
