So I absolutely love that (even though I removed that section from this post) - you thought of that! (This post was taken from my notes from a Sunday message that I shared a few weeks ago, and that box therapy was included in my original message!) xoxo <br /><br />So much amen!~Karrilee~ from Abiding Love, Abounding Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698176066735604032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-83823274801148986082015-11-19T20:32:30.135-08:002015-11-19T20:32:30.135-08:00This reminds me of this theraphy mirror box thing ...This reminds me of this theraphy mirror box thing that they use with amputees (I'm sure there's a technical name for it). Amputees feel phantom pain, but they can trick their mind into feeling whole and healed by using the abovementioned mirror box that lets them see their limb as whole (using a mirror that reflect the other limb or something--I only saw it demonstrated once...so, you know, I'm not very good at describing it ;)). By envisioning the limb they can imagine the pain in a different way and 'see' relief. So much of our lives is lived silently in our heads. We need to use each other as a mirror-therapy boxes to encourage each other to get over our phantom pains and let our muscles remember that we are beloved children of God (who doesn't make junk). blestbutstresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058280295906350992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-77990120791047459082015-11-19T08:22:41.861-08:002015-11-19T08:22:41.861-08:00Oh me too, my friend!

I can totally see where I've been tricked by phantom pain. I'd much rather have muscle memory. Tara Ulrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619365758739247929noreply@blogger.com
