"Pain is just a state of mind. You can think your way out of anything, even pain."
--Kevin Dylan (Freak) from Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick
C'mon Jenna! Get with the program!
Seriously though, when I was a piano major at BYU-Idaho, we had a workshop on controlling our body temperature. (We had this because many performers get cold hands before a performance). In this workshop we learned that the mind can literally control not only the temperature of your body, but also the responses that our body has to pain and stress and stuff. We watched a video that showed some guy shoving a huge metal spike through his bicep. Not only did he feel no pain, but there wasn't even any blood!

Is the program that Jenna is supposed to be getting with one that involves huge metal spikes through her biceps? I admit... you've struck the curiosity centers of my cuticles. They are flaring.
I've always believed in something like this. Good stuff.
Now that's just unnatural.
Easier said than done I think! I took a stress management class that taught us to control our blood pressure and stuff and I do that pretty well but that's about it
Anybody tried it yet?
Tate stuck a fork in tyson's eye. Does that count? of course there was screaming...and crying..and a lot of blood. Ok maybe not.
