This is not surprising. Pretty much anything that we experience subjectively can be affected by willful projection of our mental intention. Placebo effect is another name for this phenomenon. Meditative states and specific focus in those meditative states can cause cessation of pain, states of euphoria, tingling, out-of-body sensations, etc.
- garciasn 5y agoI have intermittent (usually bi-annually) severe back pain stemming from what has been determined by MRI as a congenital/hereditary narrowing of the spine that causes muscle spasms and long-lasting pain. I'm currently in one of my bi-annual cycles and this one is particularly nasty. 800mg ibuprofen + 1500mg of acetaminophen + 10mg cyclobenzaprine every four hours was doing absolutely nothing for the symptoms. I ended up trying every other remedy under the sun including epsom salt baths, Tiger Balm, etc., for relief. What worked? CBD balm. I don't believe in anything that can be attributed to the placebo effect and that's what I consider remedies like CBD balm. But, it worked and I am going to run w/it. I wish it were easier than me having to fork over $30 for snake oil to trick my body into a positive response but here we are.
