Dealing with TN attacks minute by minute...?

I have some rare tolerable attacks where I am told to breathe through them and to “go to the beach” or some where I feel at peace in my mind; self peace within my mind, but it’s so extremely difficult! I cannot stop or prevent the spasms/attacks. Does anyone have advice or ideas for me and each other?

Actually, if you would like some practical help and practice in using your mental state to help you deal with pain, there's a class of techniques used in personal therapy called "creative visualization". A few sessions with a psychologist or Marriage and Family Counselor might provide you with training in this active form of meditation. It is commonly used by cancer patients, to significantly improve overall quality of life.

Go in Peace and Power,
