Not an easy task when it seems to take over every waking moment, but Kalikamurti Suich shares how she moved beyond chronic pain, using her knowledge and experience of the spiritual discipline of yoga, and diving deeply into total behaviour and how her thinking was profoundly influencing her body.

Pain is uncomfortable for all of us. Debilitating pain is something most of us can’t even imagine.

In  this fascinating conversation Kalikamurti Suich about her experience of dealing with years of chronic pain.

Kalika is a counselor from Alice Springs, Australia who lived with debilitating pain for years. Through hard work, determination, incredible focus and brilliant insight she’s addressed one of the most challenging experiences humans can face – chronic physical pain. In this episode you’ll hear her story… we know you’re going to be captivated by what she has to say.

As you reflect on Kalika’s interview, and her experience with chronic pain, how do you think we map this over to the concept of Total Behaviour? Is there an “evolution” in the perspective that feelings and physiology follow actions and thinking?

For those of you who love this kind of pondering, have a look at The Evolution of Total Behaviour (below).

In Dr. Norman Doidge’s book, The Brain’s Way of Healing, he features a chapter on chronic pain, and the profound influence our thinking can have on the neural pathways in the brain. Is this an evolution in our thinking, or a more in-depth understanding of the true genius of Dr. Glasser’s concept of Total Behaviour?
