If I could choose one word to describe what it takes to heal from chronic pain, it would be to relax. This word encompasses both the mind and the body. When we relax, we turn on the healing state in the brain and nervous system, as well as in the body. Learning how to relax in the face of pain is the answer to chronic pain.
