It has been known since the 1800's, that surgery & complex medical treatments achieve better results whenever self-healing and deep relaxation are used prior to entering the hospital. Self- healing powerfully relaxes your mind, eliminates worry & apprehension prior to the surgery, & creates deep calm & confidence about undergoing the medical procedure. With self-healing and deep relaxation, individuals are far more relaxed during surgery & typically require less anesthesia, thus increasing the safety of the patient. There is usually less bleeding during surgery, less need for blood transfusion, a much faster recovery period, quick appetite restoration, reduced postoperative pain, less need for postoperative medications, & more rapid progress during postoperative physical therapy. (The famous Mayo brothers, the physicians William J. and Charles H. Mayo who started the renowned Mayo Clinic, were among the first physicians in this country to use deep relaxation & visual imagery procedures prior to surgery. Pre-surgical deep relaxation enabled them and their anesthetist, Alice Magaw, to use lesser amounts of anesthesia which increased the doctor's' surgical success & patient survival rate far beyond that of their contemporaries.)

Prior to surgery, you will also be given suggestions to deal with the emotional side of surgery. It is important to realize that the subconscious mind is always aware & listening even while you are under surgical anesthesia. Your conscious mind is asleep but your subconscious is fully attentive. During surgery, the subconscious mind is very susceptible. It can easily be alarmed & frightened by the sounds in the operating room, by the events of routine surgical procedures, by the individual being moved & manipulated by surgery, and it is very sensitive to inadvertent comments made by the surgeon & operating room personnel. Any of these things can reduce the effectiveness of the surgery, impair healing, and even prevent full recovery. Uncomfortable feelings & thoughts experienced subconsciously in the operating room jeopardize the overall success of the surgery. Self-healing will alleviate the deep fears, doubts & impressions that might occur. Self-healing removes subconscious fears of surgical failure or death, eliminates subconscious fears that occur while in surgery, prevents the effects of misunderstood remarks made during surgery that will limit recovery & complete healing, and helps diminish unconscious pain that interferes with healing.

Self-healing in inner awareness and deep relaxation areas important as your pre-surgical physical & medical workup. Pre-surgical deep relaxation is also important to build mental expectation & heightened enthusiasm for healing. Everyone signs a pre-surgical agreement that contains descriptions of all possible side effects & dire consequences of the surgical procedure. Reviewing this agreement can adversely effect the subconscious mind in some people by instilling fearful attitudes that can interfere with both the physical responses to surgery, recovery in the hospital & subsequent healing. Self-healing eliminates those gloomy & frightening attitudes & encourages rapid & complete healing.

Self-healing in inner awareness is also excellent for burn victims. Deep relaxation of victims done within 1-2 hours after the injury brings about far less burn damage & recover much more quickly. Deep relaxation also helps burn patients undergo treatments & procedures with much greater comfort. Self-healing in inner awareness is also used with people in comas. A healing therapist can communicate with the subconscious mind of those in a coma which encourages them to heal, respond to treatment, and return to normal conscious awareness.

Individuals are very pleased with how self-healing in inner awareness & deep relaxation enhances the overall surgical, recovery & therapeutic process. It has been proven to stimulate more rapid healing, shorter & more effective physical therapy, less pain & discomfort, less need for medication, confident & successful mental attitudes, as well as faster recovery & complete recuperation. Everyone planning to undergo surgery should utilize self-healing in inner awareness to help insure an enhanced outcome.
